A level-based midcore racing game where the objective of the player is to keep progressing on a saga map while collecting and upgrading bike parts to continue being competent enough to complete other levels of the game.
Despite the retention, durables, and progression systems, the game also involves asynchronous multiplayer which incites the inherent human will to compete and beat others through skill.
The game mainly monetizes on monthly content, weekly sales, and limited event currencies.

I was directly managing the PvP content for Trails: Frontier, and irrespective of my assigned status, I was also handling the events and feature design of the game at the side as well.
MY RESPONSIBILITIES
-
PvP monthly content design updates (Eg; Rewards).
-
Reward balancing to encourage engagement and monetization.
-
Revamp the matchmaking design to account for more social interactions.
-
Event design and UI / UX for PvP, and a Halloween update.
-
PvP design and social game mechanics for a core game update.
-
Collaborating with Data Analysts to review data to improve future updates.
Working on Trials significantly deepened my understanding of how a game community operates and how to manage a game's content and meta.
Driven by my enthusiasm, I also explored workflows on Rayman Adventures and Starlink: Battle for Atlas. However thereafter, due to project management needs, I was eventually fully assigned to Starlink: Battle for Atlas to continue contributing full-time.
