About the Project
We are developing a dark fantasy anime ARPG for PC and Mobile as a free-to-play title. Our monetization approach already includes a Monopoly Go-inspired gacha board, and we are planning additional systems such as a Battle Pass and cosmetics. We are looking for an experienced professional to review, challenge, and optimize our monetization strategy on a contract basis at regular intervals.
Responsibilities
- Conduct regular reviews of the existing monetization strategy and identify optimization opportunities
- Evaluate and refine the gacha board system (inspired by Monopoly Go) with regard to player retention, fairness, and revenue potential
- Design and fine-tune additional monetization systems
- Collaborate closely with the Game Design team to seamlessly integrate monetization into gameplay and player progression
- Develop pricing and offer structures (e.g. bundles, seasonal offers, first-purchase offers) tailored to PC and mobile audiences
- Analyze market and competitor data as well as current F2P trends in the ARPG and anime segment
- Build economy models and forecasts for KPIs such as ARPU, conversion rate, retention, and LTV
- Document recommendations and proposed changes in a clear and accessible format for the team
Must-Haves
- At least 5 years of professional experience in monetization design, game economy, or live ops for free-to-play titles
- Proven track record with gacha systems, Battle Passes, and/or cosmetic monetization – ideally on a shipped title
- Deep understanding of F2P metrics (ARPU, ARPPU, LTV, conversion funnels, retention) and how they interact
- Experience collaborating with game design teams and the ability to craft player-friendly monetization
- Knowledge of the monetization landscape on PC and mobile, including platform-specific differences
- Understanding of regulatory aspects (e.g. loot box legislation, age ratings) across different markets
Nice-to-Have
- Experience with A/B testing and live experimentation frameworks for monetization
- Proficiency in analytics and economy design tools such as Machination, GameAnalytics, Amplitude, Mixpanel, or comparable platforms
