The Progression & Currency Handbook

PDF · A$13 · requested by form, paid by bank transfer, delivered by email

Everything on this site stays free and stays where it is. The handbook is the version with the tables: star prices tracked across a whole storyline rather than described in general terms, both currencies mapped, and a worksheet for working out what a free game actually costs to play impatiently.

Contents

Star prices across a storyline

The cost of every task through a full chapter run, tabulated, so the pacing curve is visible as numbers rather than as a feeling that the game got slower.

The two-currency map

Both currencies for each game covered: what earns them, what spends them, and where the one-way valve between them sits.

Regrowing versus finite goals

The two-move test written out, with the opposite plans each level type calls for and two worked examples of getting it the wrong way round.

The pricing worksheet

A printable page for converting a shop screen into a single number: what one impatient evening costs in Australian dollars, per game.

How ordering works

  1. You send the form. That is a request rather than a payment and nothing is charged.
  2. I reply within one business day with the item, the price and the bank details.
  3. You transfer the amount if you still want it. Deciding not to costs nothing and needs no reason.
  4. The PDF arrives by email within two business days of the payment clearing.

This page sells writing. No coins, stars, lives, boosters or accounts are sold from this site, and nothing belonging to a studio could be delivered from here even if it were requested.

Request the handbook

Your name, email and optional phone number are used for this order: confirming it, taking payment arrangements by email, sending the file and, since you ticked the box, delivering browser notifications about updates. They are held by OneSignal, set out in the privacy policy. Submitting the form charges you nothing and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Who you are buying from

An individual. I publish this site and sell this one file occasionally rather than as a registered business, so there is no ABN and no GST registration, and no tax invoice is issued; a plain receipt is sent on request. Publisher details are in the legal notice, and ordering, delivery and refund terms are in the terms of use.
