I think you have the wrong idea about what game designers do. We're not project leads that pitch entire games, we're [ content creators ] that build the bits of specific content in games - the spells, the monsters, the fights, the classes, the races, the quests, the environments, the stats, the companions, and so on.

Not instantiating prefabs and putting them into a pool. I mean. Put the prefabs you need to instantiate and create objects from the prefabs in the update. If you create 100 objects from prefabs, it will lag. Instantiating in multi-frames is a different technique from using an object pool. You can combine using instantiating in multi-frames an object-pool at the same time.
