Make game systems clearer, safer, and easier to ship.

Probsage helps teams design and stress-test progression, economy, and randomness — so mechanics feel right and hold up in production.

What we work on

We focus on system-level questions where “intuition vs metrics” becomes a trap — and a simple, explainable model makes decisions easier.

Progression systems

Difficulty curves, pacing, rewards, and “where players stall” — before you ship.

Economy & resource flows

Sources/sinks, inflation, bottlenecks, pricing logic, and long-term stability.

Randomness & perceived fairness

Variance, streaks, “unlucky feels”, and tuning outcomes without breaking trust.

Balance under live updates

When new content changes everything: guarding against regressions and exploits.

“It feels wrong, but metrics look fine”

Translating vague design discomfort into testable hypotheses and concrete levers.

How we think

Our default is clarity: models should be simple enough to explain to designers — and strong enough to survive production.

Player experience first

Start from what players feel, then map it to systems and levers.

Math as a tool, not a flex

Minimal model that answers the question — no performative complexity.

Explainable > perfect

If the team can’t reason about it, the model won’t be used.

Reality checks

Stress tests, edge cases, failure modes, and “what breaks if we scale?”

Decisions, not dashboards

We’re not here to add charts. We’re here to help you decide: tune, redesign, ship, or cut.

Why math

Math is how you remove ambiguity from systems — and stop arguing opinions.

Make assumptions visible

Turn “should be fine” into explicit parameters and constraints.

Predict failure modes

See where exploits, dead-ends, and runaway loops appear.

Tune faster

Reduce iteration cost by narrowing the search space before implementation.

Engagement formats

A few common ways teams work with Probsage. No packages, no fluff — we pick what fits your situation.

Scope: system design & tuning. Not reporting-only analytics.

Advisory

Lightweight support for ongoing design decisions and tradeoffs.

System review

Audit progression/economy/randomness, identify risks, propose levers.

Early-stage design support

Turn rough ideas into a coherent, testable system before production hardens it.

One-off deep dive

A single focused question (variance, balance, tuning) with clear outputs.

About Probsage

Probsage is a small studio focused on game systems: progression, economy, balance, and randomness. We combine design intuition with applied math to make decisions clearer and iteration cheaper.

Primary focus: iGaming systems and gambling mechanics.

We work with teams globally, remote-first, and are comfortable under NDA.
