Airport Master is a mobile airport management simulation game where players take on the role of airport manager — hiring staff, scheduling flights, upgrading facilities, and expanding their business to turn a small airstrip into a bustling global hub.

As the Game Designer, I led design across all phases of the project, from early prototype to production, shaping the core gameplay loop, systems, and player experience.

• Core Systems Design → Led the design and balancing of core management systems, including staff hiring, flight scheduling, passenger flow, and airport operations.
• Simulation & Service Design → Designed passenger satisfaction systems, employee productivity mechanics, and upgradeable service features like shops, food courts, and lounges, ensuring engaging management challenges.
• Progression & Economy Design → Created meta-progression systems covering facility upgrades, fleet improvements, milestone unlocks, and investment strategies to deliver rewarding long-term player growth.
• Onboarding & FTUE Design → Built the full early player experience, from tutorial flows and onboarding missions to progressive feature unlocks, ensuring approachability for new players.
• Cross-Disciplinary Leadership → Collaborated closely with product, art, engineering, and UX teams, aligning gameplay design with visual direction, technical feasibility, and business goals.
• Monetization & Retention Design → Designed monetization hooks, premium upgrades, ad-based rewards, and retention systems, integrating them smoothly into the management loop without compromising gameplay integrity.

Throughout development, I focused on creating a management experience that balances optimization, creativity, and satisfaction — giving players the thrill of running an efficient, ever-expanding airport empire.
