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

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

What does the game domain research report include?

The report covers market size and growth, competitive landscape with key studios, age rating and loot box regulations, platform certification requirements, and game engine and technology trends. It ends with an executive summary, strategic recommendations, and full source citations.

Does the research require web search access?

Yes, web search is a hard prerequisite and the workflow aborts if it is unavailable. Every factual claim must be verified against current live sources with URL citations rather than relying on training data.

Can I customize the research workflow steps?

Yes, the customize.toml file supports activation steps, persistent facts, and an on-complete hook. Team and user-level TOML overrides merge with defaults using structural merge rules resolved by a script.

What regulations does the game research cover?

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