Learn how mobile players decide to stay, quit, or pay. You will shape a core loop, a first session, and a pitch that a teammate can build. Across about 14 hours you will write who the game is for in one sentence, sketch the action the player repeats, order the first minute from launch to success, and watch one new player without helping.
