ChessXpanse game management dashboard with metrics and balancing controls

The client

GameJillion (USA) publishes ChessXpanse, a chess game with real-time mechanics, map rotation and new pieces, developed in partnership with MainLeaf.

A ChessXpanse match

The problem

Every balancing tweak went through an Excel spreadsheet and a direct change to the game’s code. A single adjustment took 3 days, and the design team needed a developer just to change a number.

What we built

An internal Live Ops dashboard, together with MainLeaf:

  • Live balancing of the boards, without updating the game.
  • Telemetry for sessions and performance.
  • Economy: promo codes and rewards.

The result

  • Balancing went from 3 days to under 5 minutes.
  • Zero downtime during updates.
  • The people who design the game tune the game.
  • Partners since 2022.
