The Game Crop is Mintbay’s recurring game design service for independent and studio teams.

Every four days you receive a focused brief: a skim-first read of your current board, level, or loop, plus one concrete adaptation you can ship before the next interval.

What you get

• A written design brief on a four-day cadence
• One recommended board or loop change, not a rewrite of the whole game
• Access to member chat for follow-up questions between briefs
• Short course notes on how to adapt existing systems instead of inventing from scratch

How it works

1. Subscribe and share the build, board, or reference you want reviewed.
2. On each interval we send a skim-first take: what is working, what is slowing the late game, and the next adaptation.
3. You apply the change, then send the next state before the following brief.

This is a coaching and education service for game design. It does not include custom code, art production, or publishing rights to your game. Cancel any time from your membership settings.
