About
Hey, I'm Spencer Bokrossy, I'm a game designer committed to creating interesting play experiences by creating systems and mechanics that players enjoy. I love working with other people and collaborating on something bigger than myself. In my eyes, the best games are made by people who share a common goal and passion.
Since 2017 I’ve been working at EA on Economy and Monetization design. I specialize in creating interesting, long term economies for players to progress through, focused on reward players for both time and money invested in the systems.
I’ve also been teaching the Mobile Design course as Vancouver Film School since early 2020. This is an extremely rewarding part of my week. I guide students on how Mobile design differs from traditional design, and use it as an opportunity to research other successful games to gain a better understanding of industry trends.
From 2014 to 2016 I completed 2 year long courses at Vancouver Film School, Foundations of Visual Art & Design, and graduated Game Design with Honors.
When I'm not designing on paper, I'm prototyping mechanics to see if they work in engine. While I usually program in C# inside Unity, I love to learn new tools and software.
