Client’s Request
Wispwood Games had already established a great foundation for their game and a strong playerbase. However, players were getting bored and felt the game became repetitive quickly. Wispwood wanted an expert game designer to help design and implement new features and systems to increase retention, as well as take a look at their existing designs and improve them. They also wanted to improve their overall revenue with an optimized monetization system.
Our Approach
To help Wispwood Games reach their goals for Arrow Quest, we provided the following:
- Worked with them for 6+ months alongside their team in a collaberative effort to improve the game, and complete necessary tasks from the product owner.
- Conceptualized new designs, and created design documents and wireframes for various new features such as an elemental system, cloud-saving system, and many more features stll in development.
- Conducted an extensive Game Design Audit, going over Arrow Quest extensively through its mechanics, gameplay elements, progression systems, and more. Additionally, analyzing competitors to ensure Arrow Quest stays on top of current industry trends and maintains a leading position as an idle RPG game.
- Participated in playtests alongside the QA team and developer to ensure new features worked as intended, and provided feedback accordingly – ensuring designs worked as intended before reaching end users.
The result of this work?
Arrow Quest has over a million downloads with players actively looking forward to future updates. We were able to:
- Implement a few core features, including the extensive elemental feature as a way to decrease repetitiveness and encourage strategic gameplay, which has been well received by users.
- Provide close tens of future designs for them to implement at their leisure with fully documented designs, ensuring the game has new content for months to come, increasing their overall RR.
