Overview

The Architect Career is one of six new active careers introduced in the v0.8.0 update on April 29, 2026. Architects design floor plans and structural concepts at architecture firm desks, with tasks rooted in Build Mode sketches and on-paper drafting. The career is available in Dowon and Bliss Bay.

Skills That Help

Skill	Why It Helps
Creativity Skill	Speeds up sketching and improves design quality.
Critical Thinking Skill	Helps with structural problem-solving tasks.

Performance and Promotion

Daily performance evaluation drives promotion. Submitted designs, attendance, and team-project contribution feed the evaluation gauge. Termination can result from chronic absence or low evaluation scores. Long-tenure architects can retire under the v0.8.0 retirement system, triggering a retirement party and severance.

Leave and Remote Work

Paid leave: registerable through the home computer.
Sick leave: tied to needs failure.
Remote work: drafting tasks can be performed from home; client meetings still require attendance at the firm.

Team Projects

Architects collaborate on four-day team projects with shared design briefs. Contribution is graded individually based on assigned task ownership and final design quality.

Tips

Practice in Build Mode before applying. The interview tasks lean on building intuition that is hard to fake at level 0.
Pair the career with a Build Mode-related freelance license once those expansions arrive; design work fits the v0.8.0 Creative freelance category cleanly.
Use remote-work days for solo drafting and save in-person days for client reviews.
