Building a LiveOps calendar that doesn't burn your team
5 min read
Players love a predictable rhythm. Teams love reusable tools. A good LiveOps calendar serves both.
Build event templates
Design 4–6 event archetypes that can be re-skinned and re-tuned. Novelty comes from combinations, not from building from scratch.
Plan economy impact upfront
Each event in the calendar should list its sources, sinks and expected revenue so balancing happens before launch, not after.
