Introduction to The Leap

An overview of The Leap platform and its capabilities

Introduction to The Leap

The Leap is the first all-in-one meta and economy engine for game studios. It allows you to design, simulate, analyze, and power live player progression from one platform.

What is The Leap?

The Leap provides game developers with powerful tools to:

• Design game economies - Create and manage currencies, resources, items, and progression systems
• Simulate player behavior - Run thousands of simulated player sessions to predict economic outcomes
• Analyze results - Visualize data and identify potential balance issues before launch
• Power live games - Connect your game to The Leap's backend for real-time economy management

Key Concepts

Projects

Projects are the top-level containers in The Leap. Each game you're developing gets its own project, which contains all the currencies, items, progressions, and simulations for that game.

Currencies

Currencies are the primary medium of exchange in your game - things like gold coins, gems, or experience points that players earn and spend.

Items

Items are objects that players can collect, equip, and use. From weapons and armor to consumables and crafting materials, items form the backbone of player inventories.

Entitlements

Entitlements represent permanent unlocks and access rights - things like premium features, expansion packs, or exclusive content that players own.

Simulations

Simulations allow you to test your game economy before releasing it to players. Run thousands of virtual player sessions to see how your economy performs over time.
