Goal
Create an economy that rewards play, supports monetization, and lasts long enough for retention.
Economy Map
Define:
- Sources: core loop rewards, quests, streaks, events, social rewards, purchases.
- Sinks: upgrades, crafting, cosmetics, rerolls, prestige, entry fees, repairs.
- Multipliers: boosts, VIP, game passes, events, group/friend bonuses.
- Gates: zones, levels, equipment, quests, timers.
Balance Rules
- Reward every loop, but keep meaningful upgrades paced.
- Make early upgrades fast and satisfying.
- Avoid runaway compounding that destroys long-term goals.
- Add enough sinks before adding large sources.
- Keep premium boosts convenient, not mandatory.
- Preserve social fairness and competitive integrity.
Curves
Use simple tables first:
- Early: quick wins and teaching.
- Mid: visible planning and choice.
- Late: prestige, collections, rarity, social flex.
Watch for the 2-3 hour content wall and add meaningful unlocks before it.
Output
Return:
- Source/sink table.
- Upgrade or reward curve.
- Inflation risks.
- Monetization fairness notes.
- Playtest metrics to collect.
Next
