Design for a social frame
For a game designer, this catalog design prototype should make every player action and clearly displayed outcome easy to evaluate. Write how to define item identity, value, Koin price, preview, and ownership before checkout. Choose the offer moment, explain the game benefit, and protect the complete free path. Compare the experience before and after ownership. Assume voice chat, spectators, shared attention, and compact embedded space. Avoid exposing account information and keep the choice readable without covering the group activity.
Handle participant changes
Try joining late, losing focus, reconnecting, and returning after the activity is closed. Personal Koin state and item delivery should never be confused with another participant.
Keep distribution claims narrow
Discord identity, monetization rules, activity distribution, permissions, persistence, refunds, and security need separate implementation review. A social browser concept does not establish those capabilities.
Judge the offer in the core loop
Run the game without opening the purchase choice, then run it with the item. Compare pacing, motivation, difficulty, and recovery so the offer supports play instead of repairing frustration that was added deliberately.
Make the player promise concrete
Describe what changes on screen, how long it lasts, where it appears, and what remains available without it. Replace value labels such as better or premium with rules a player can observe.
Review the moment of choice
Check what the player was doing immediately before the offer and where cancel returns them. The item should arrive after enough context to understand it, but never during a time-critical or emotionally pressured action.
Compare items consistently
Use the same fields for every offer: preview, benefit, ownership or duration, clearly stated Koin cost, and owned state. Consistent cards make differences easier to understand. Test that behavior using Discord activity creators. Discord distribution, identity, and monetization rules require separate implementation review.
Keep the first catalog small
Start with one to three clearly different items. A large grid makes it harder to find unclear value, duplicated promises, and missing delivery states. Test that behavior using Discord activity creators. Discord distribution, identity, and monetization rules require separate implementation review.
Design owned and unavailable states
A catalog also needs sold, owned, equipped, and unavailable presentations. Do not leave a purchased item looking buyable after reload. Test that behavior using Discord activity creators. Discord distribution, identity, and monetization rules require separate implementation review.
