Responsibilities:

1. Calibrate the in-game economy.
2. Define the technology tree.
3. Define the in-game goals and rewards.

Village the Game is an html5 game designed from the ground up to make every art asset, sound asset, every game rule easy to upgrade via Google Sheets.

Metrics that define success:

1. Anecdotal feedback from additional gameplay sessions.
2. Quantity improvement of players who log back into the game after the first play.

Qualifications

1. Passion for interactive story.
2. Familiarity with Google Sheets, Google Drive.
3. Familiarity with Task management apps like Asana, Trello.

Bonus Accomplishments
