In this position, I was thinking of good game ideas and making presentations to the publishing game studio. I was turning the approved game ideas into very detailed documents (Game Design Document). I would write all the important parts of a game project, such as software, game mechanics, graphics, music, game scenes, and story, in these documents and present them to the team. In addition, with my team, I was analyzing the data of each game and planning all the updates and fixes to be made based on this data.
