Community Manager
Community Manager
As a Community Manager at Eternal Dream, I played a key role in building and engaging with the game's community. I actively interacted with players by answering their questions, addressing concerns, and fostering a welcoming environment. To boost engagement, I also created and managed content for social media, showcasing updates, and community highlights. This role gave me valuable insights into player expectations and preferences, which I brought back to the design team to enhance the game experience.
I produced a range of content tailored specifically for Eternal Dream’s social media platforms, including Instagram, X (Twitter), and Facebook. The goal was to highlight the game’s core narrative themes, emotional depth, and unique art style in a way that resonated with our target audience. Each piece of content was meticulously crafted to balance storytelling with visual appeal.
