    Example session with this skill installed

    Use the GROW model to evaluate a proposed 'Battle Pass' feature for our mobile mid-core RPG. Our retention at Day 30 is low, and we need a sustainable monetization hook.

    I have evaluated the Battle Pass feature using the GROW framework to move from the retention problem to a concrete implementation path.

    Game Design GROW Analysis: Battle Pass

    Goal

    Goal Statement: Increase Day 30 retention by 15% and D30 ARPDAU by 10% by introducing a seasonal Battle Pass that rewards daily engagement, launching in the Q3 update.

    • Success Criteria: +15% D30 Retention, 5% conversion to Premium Track, 80% completion rate for active players.
    • Constraints: Must not require new 3D assets for the first two seasons; must use existing currency types.

    Reality

    Current State: Players lose interest after finishing the main campaign (Day 14-20). We have a deep backlog of unused 2D concept art and surplus 'Essence' currency.

    • Constraints: Engineering bandwidth is locked for the next 6 weeks. UI space in the main lobby is crowded.
    • Unknowns: Impact on existing VIP subscription sales; optimal duration (3 weeks vs 4 weeks).
    • Dependencies: Requires a new reward delivery service and a UI overhaul of the 'Quest' tab.

    Options

    OptionSummaryPlayer ValueBusiness ValueCostRiskNotes
    A: MinimalistReskin existing daily quests into a linear track.2311Low impact, fast to ship.
    B: Content-HeavyAdd unique seasonal skins and a narrative lore track.5554High dev cost, potential delay.
    C: Hybrid (Recycled)Use existing surplus assets and 'Essence' as tiered rewards.4422Best ROI for current resources.

    Will

    Recommended Path: Option C (Hybrid). It leverages existing assets to solve the retention gap without blowing the production budget.
    *

    Near-term Actions: Map out a 30-level reward curve using current inventory; draft a UI wireframe for the Quest tab integration.

    • Risks / Assumptions: Assumes 'Essence' remains a high-value item for late-game players.

    Next steps

    1. Audit the current asset library to identify 30 distinct reward items.
    2. Define the XP curve required to reach Level 30 within a 28-day window.
    3. Schedule a UI review for the lobby integration.

    About this skill

    The problem

    Game design discussions often stall in circular loops where teams jump between vague ambitions and implementation details without reaching a decision. Without a structured framework, teams struggle to align on success criteria or evaluate the trade-offs between competing feature ideas.

    What it does

    • Applies the GROW model (Goal, Reality, Options, Will) to structure game design decisions.
    • Defines specific player and business success criteria using SMART-style goal statements.
    • Maps current system dependencies, technical constraints, and design unknowns.
    • Generates multiple solution paths with scored trade-offs for player value, cost, and risk.
    • Produces a concrete recommendation with an MVP scope and immediate next steps.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    Generic prompts often result in a single, shallow recommendation that ignores existing game systems. This skill forces an explicit reality check against your current state and mandates a multi-option evaluation, preventing the "first-idea bias" common in rapid prototyping.

    Use cases

    • Evaluating a new monetization initiative against existing economy constraints.
    • Triaging feature requests for a quarterly roadmap update.
    • Resolving a circular team debate over a core UX change or player flow.
    • Designing a high-level MVP for a new live-ops event structure.
