Task and context
Make content, progression and monetization support the same player loop.
The player recruits influencers, develops studios, creates posts and sends the team to events. Those actions need one economy and progression model, enough content for the target retention cadence, and documentation the team can implement without losing system dependencies.
Work breakdown
Key decisions
Keep design decisions in one working system.
I write the full GDD and maintain the Wiki structure so features, states, dependencies and tuning rules stay connected for the team.
Connect short sessions to long-term growth.
I design the system links between content creation, influencer development, studios, events, rewards and long-term progression.
Balance progression, gacha and monetization together.
I own economy balance and define how gacha and monetization fit into progression, rewards, upgrades and duplicate value.
Plan content volume and keep feature ownership accountable.
I estimate the content needed for retention, own key features and review other feature owners from specification through implementation.
