Eternal Return

Overview

Eternal Return is best described as a MOBA with a Battle Royale ruleset. Eighteen people are dropped on an island and only one can remain. I have been responsible for leading the other Community Managers. Distributing tasks, redirecting content, giving feedback, and creating the community strategy. I also communicate with the developers of the game, providing them with feedback and ideas. Also reinvented the games’ Partner Program, introduced a system where the community can set up community tournaments for rewards, a fanart program, feedback meetings with the community, resolving conflicts, responding to the community, and more.
