Create a persona worth playing.

The studio turns a form into a playable life: your concept becomes the AI’s stage, your numbers become the engine’s constraints. This guide shows what reviewers look for, how the numbers actually behave, and three complete personas you can paste straight into the studio.

1 · How publishing works

Create

Every creation starts as a private draft. Nobody sees it but you — you can keep a draft forever and start test runs against it.

Review

Publishing runs an automatic review: policy red lines (no explicit content, no impersonating a real person) and a quality bar — the reviewer asks one question: could a game writer turn this into a playable character? Placeholder text and padded repetition never pass.

Publish

Pass, and your persona goes live in the public catalog at $3.99 for everyone else. You always play your own personas for free. Editing a published persona takes it back to draft until it passes review again.

Limits

Ten active personas per account, one new persona per hour. Archiving frees a slot.

2 · Writing the concept and story

The concept

The concept is the player-visible setting and the AI’s base material at once. Write a person, not a pitch: who they are, how they got the money, what their ordinary week feels like — and one live tension for the month to resolve. Concrete details (a refinancing deadline, a rival sibling, a promise to a grandmother) are what make a month playable; adjectives alone are not.

Length sweet spot: 150–1,500 characters. Any language — the AI writes the month in whatever content language you pick, so write in the language your players should read.

Will it pass? The deterministic checks reject filler (repeated padding, placeholder text, concepts under ~20 characters of real content) and exact duplicates of published personas. Everything arguable goes to the model — write a real character and you pass.

The story (advanced, optional)

The story field is flavor material for the AI director only — players never see it. Use it when the concept alone doesn’t carry the voice: narrative tone, recurring characters, world texture, and boundaries the month should respect.

A good story block reads like notes to a co-author: “Tone: glossy, fast-moving, champagne-fizz. Recurring characters: her CFO daughter, a patient dangerous banker. The luxury is real but never cold.” Numbers and rule changes don’t belong here — the engine owns every dollar, and anything in the story that tries to give instructions is treated as in-fiction noise.

Up to 2,000 characters, any language, optional by design: leaving it empty is the most common choice — the concept carries the month alone. See the examples below: Victor Ashe ships a story block; the other two run on concept only.

3 · The numbers

Starting net worth can be anything from $1M to $10B — every dollar in the game scales with it, so difficulty is relative, not absolute. The five buckets must sum to 100%; daily income derives from what they hold. The two knobs creators underuse:

LifestyleDaily expensesHow it plays
Frugal0.02% of net worth per dayA compounding life — quiet, patient, hard to shake.
Standard0.045% per dayThe balanced baseline most months are calibrated around.
Lavish0.08% per dayA burn-rate life — glamorous, and structurally hungry.

Debt (0–90% of net worth) is leverage: it magnifies what you own and what can go wrong. The engine’s liquidity trap — rich on paper, thin in cash — lives here.

Life metrics (1–99 each) are your opening temperament, not a score. All-90s opens with a golden spoon; the month can still take it apart.

4 · Three complete examples

One per language, three different numeric personalities. Copy any of them into the studio and it saves as a valid draft.

Victor Ashe

He does not buy buildings. He buys skylines on credit.

A property developer betting eleven towers on one perfect decade.

Concept

Victor Ashe, fifty-one, put up scaffolding for other men’s towers before he learned to sign for his own. Today he owns the three tallest buildings on the river and owes the bank for every one of them: a construction loan maturing in thirty days, a development site he won at auction before he had the money, and a refinancing meeting his daughter — the group CFO — keeps rescheduling because she knows what the numbers say. Cash-poor, asset-rich, allergic to patience. He flies commercial and tells reporters he likes the legroom; the truth is the jet went back to the leasing company in March. His week runs on three kinds of adrenaline: the auction, the ribbon-cutting, and the moment a rival bank smiles at him too warmly. This month he must refinance before the loan bites, close the riverside plot that would complete his skyline, and decide whether his daughter’s grim spreadsheet is a warning or a betrayal. Every door in the city is open to Victor Ashe. The question is which ones still lock from the outside.
Story (AI flavor)

Tone: high-wire confidence, champagne on a construction beam. Recurring characters: Clara Ashe (CFO daughter, spreadsheet realist), Mr. Prasert (the patient, dangerous banker), rival developer Ong. Luxury always has a lien behind it — show the glamour and the collateral in the same sentence. Never mock Victor; let the tension come from how much he believes in himself.

How it plays A high-wire month: income barely clears a lavish burn rate, debt sits on every tower, and one bad week turns an empire into a fire sale.

沈书澜

三代人攒下的名字,不能断在她手里。

家族办公室的掌门人,替一张资产负债表守住一个姓氏。

Concept

沈书澜五十七岁,管着一份她没有亲手挣来的家业:祖母留下的七间老字号药房、市中心两栋收租的骑楼、一片云雾里的茶园,还有一份三代人没动过的家族信托。她自己的钱只有账面上很小的一块——她坚持这么记账,尽管没有谁要求她这么做。 她的日程安静得近乎固执:周一审药房进销存,周三见信托的律师,周末陪母亲喝茶听她数落堂兄们的新车。数字在她手里从不喧哗:不追热点、不加杠杆、不碰看不懂的东西,三十年如一日地把收益默默再投进去。 这个月,两封来信同时到了。一封来自两位堂兄的律师——他们要求把信托资产折现分家;另一封来自一个山区的县医院——那是祖母四十年前承诺却没来得及兑现的一间药房。她要在家族会议之前决定:这份家业到底是一笔可以切开的钱,还是一个必须续下去的名字。
