Derivation Chain

Step 1 Game industry base expansion
→
Step 2 Rise of solo/small indie game development
→
Step 3 Automating pre-launch administrative and legal procedures for indie games

Problem

1-3 person indie game dev teams face 10-15 administrative procedures when launching a game — Game Rating and Administration Committee classification, business registration, app store developer enrollment, privacy policy drafting, refund policy setup, etc. — and spend 2-4 weeks just figuring out required documents and sequencing for the first time. Fragmented information frequently leads to oversights that delay launches by 1-2 months.

Solution

A tool where developers select game type (mobile/PC/console), monetization model (free/paid/in-app), and target age, then receive all required administrative procedures as a sequenced checklist with auto-generated document templates and writing guides for each step. Differentiator: auto-drafts the Game Rating and Administration Committee classification application + displays estimated timeline and costs.

Target: 1-3 person indie game dev teams launching their first commercial game, developers in their 20s-30s with strong technical skills but no administrative experience
Revenue Model: Per Transaction pricing: basic checklist Free, document template + writing guide package ~$29/game, post-launch operations guide add-on ~$22
Ecosystem Role: Education
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
