Playtesting, Analysis & Breakdowns\nPlay assigned reference titles consistently and deeply, documenting first-time user experience, onboarding funnels, progression pacing, and monetization touchpoints.\nProduce structured written breakdowns and teardowns of competitor games, complete with screenshots, data, and clear takeaways.\nAnalyze player reviews and community feedback to surface recurring themes and pain points.\n3. Core Loops & Meta Loops\nMap and document the core and meta loops of reference games using diagrams and written analysis.\nDeconstruct progression systems, economy sources and sinks, reward schedules, and pricing.\nBuild and maintain spreadsheets tracking economy values, level curves, and IAP pricing across reference titles.\nKey Requirements\nCurrently enrolled in aBachelor’s programme, or a graduate within the last year. Any discipline.\nA strong, demonstrable passion for playing and studying video games.\nAn analytical mindset and comfort working with numbers and spreadsheets.\nA positive attitude and an eagerness to learn, grow, and respond to constructive feedback.\nBonus Requirements\nYou are an active gamer with deep knowledge of various game genres, especially mobile F2P.\nYou can already deconstruct the core loops, mechanics, and monetization of popular games.\n Proficiency in Google Sheets or Excel (formulas, charts, basic modeling).","description_format":"text","description_chars":2295,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Game Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T07:47:51Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/game-district-game-design-intern-game-district","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/game-district-game-design-intern-game-district.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T04:52:15Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4641,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4451214},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4451214"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgame-district-game-design-intern-game-district"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgame-district-game-design-intern-game-district"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgame-district-game-design-intern-game-district"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/game-district-game-design-intern-game-district\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgame-district-game-design-intern-game-district"}]}
