Modelling game economy with Neo4j
The document discusses the use of Neo4j in modeling game economies, featuring an example of data structure and mechanics for a multi-player RPG game. It outlines challenges in game balancing, item pricing, quest progression, and scarcity analysis of in-game resources, emphasizing the need for automated solutions. Additionally, it mentions the importance of version control and collaborative editing in game design data management.
