FAQPage Schema
How do I research a game genre or market before starting development?

Start the workflow by naming your topic, such as a genre, platform, or sector. The Skill confirms scope with you, then runs web-verified analysis of market size, competitors, regulations, and technology trends, producing a cited research report.

What does the game domain research report include?

The report covers industry market size and growth, competitive landscape with key studios, age rating and monetization regulations, game engine and platform technology trends, plus an executive summary, strategic recommendations, and full source citations.

Does game industry research require web search access?

Yes, web search is a hard prerequisite. The workflow aborts if web search is unavailable, because every factual claim about market data, regulations, and technology must be verified against current live sources rather than training data.

Can I customize the research workflow steps?

Yes, the customize.toml file supports activation step overrides, persistent facts, and an on-complete hook. Team and user-level TOML files merge with defaults using structural merge rules for scalars, arrays, and tables.

What regulations does the game research cover?

The regulatory step covers age rating systems like ESRB, PEGI, and CERO, loot box and gambling laws by region, platform certification requirements for consoles and storefronts, and data privacy laws including COPPA and GDPR.
