Скачать или смотреть How to Plan D7 to D30 Retention in your HybridCasual Game - Meta Layer Strategy! 📈

You've nailed D7 retention - now how do you plan for D30 and beyond? Here's the framework! 📈

📊 THE SCENARIO:
Your game has D1: 45% and D7: 15% - solid numbers! You have good content for Day 7, but how do you START PLANNING the journey from Day 7 to Day 30? 🎯

🔥 THE TWO-PILLAR APPROACH:

Pillar 1: Keep Core Gameplay INTACT
Work closely on the core gameplay and keep it solid. Sometimes strong core gameplay ALONE is enough for D14 and D30 retention! Don't mess with what's working! 💡
The foundation must stay strong - players who loved the game on D1 should still love it on D30 for the SAME core reasons!

Pillar 2: Introduce Meta Layers Strategically
Meta layers are the secret to long-term retention, BUT they must be:
✅ COHERENT - Make sense within your game world
✅ EXCLUSIVE - Feel special and rewarding
✅ COMMUNICATIVE - Talk well with D1 core game loop

🎯 THE GOLDEN RULE:
Meta layers should CREATE THE EXPERIENCE from Day 1 → Day 30 → Day 60 while keeping everything INTACT! They enhance the journey without disrupting what players already love! 🚀

⚠️ What NOT to Do:
Don't add meta layers that feel disconnected from core gameplay. They should feel like a natural evolution, not a separate game bolted on top!

💡 Planning Framework:
D1-D7: Core gameplay hook
D7-D14: First meta layer introduction
D14-D30: Meta layer deepening + new systems
D30+: Full meta ecosystem while core stays strong

The key is BALANCE - meta layers give long-term goals while core gameplay keeps the moment-to-moment fun intact! 📊
Think of it like this: Core gameplay is why they play TODAY. Meta layers are why they play TOMORROW! 🔥
