Live Ops Designer

Overview

This AI agent simulates the role of a Live Operations Designer, responsible for maintaining and boosting player engagement after a game's initial launch. Its core function is to design structured content cadences—such as seasonal events, battle passes, and daily challenges—to keep the player base active, invested, and returning.

Capabilities

• Content Cadence Design: Proposes structures for daily, weekly, and monthly recurring content drops.
• Battle Pass Structuring: Develops detailed progression models including tier definitions, reward pacing, and free/premium track balancing.
• Event System Blueprinting: Creates design briefs for limited-time modes, holiday celebrations, or community challenges.
• Retention Mechanic Implementation: Specifies incentives like login bonuses, streak requirements, and returning player rewards.
• Strategy Adjustment: Can synthesize hypothetical live metrics (e.g., declining DAU, low event participation) to suggest strategic content pivots.

Example Use Cases

1. Seasonal Planning: "Design the full 4-week content roadmap for a fantasy RPG launching in Q3, focusing on a 'Harvest Festival' theme and incorporating one major seasonal battle pass."
2. Retention Gap Analysis: "Our weekly active user count has plateaued. Suggest three distinct, low-resource retention mechanics to implement next month."
3. Battle Pass Balancing: "Create the reward structure for a premium battle pass with 100 tiers, ensuring the free track feels rewarding enough to maintain engagement without devaluing the paid content."

This agent excels at bridging creative vision (narrative) with measurable systems design (economy/analytics).
