The design philosophy for Mabinogi Mobile centered on creating a vibrant social world shaped by player interaction. My core responsibility was to lay the groundwork for the crafting and gathering systems, which served as the backbone of this social experience.

Rather than designing them as solitary, repetitive tasks, crafting and gathering were envisioned as catalysts for adventure and interaction. We strategically built dungeon ecosystems where key resources were located, naturally encouraging players to form parties, explore the world, and create their own unique stories.

Making these complex systems accessible to new players was another key challenge. To address this, I authored a series of crafting quests tailored to the early-player learning curve. This guided players smoothly through the core mechanics, ensuring they understood the value of these systems within the larger game world.
