What you'll get

  • Core mechanics specification with feedback loop diagrams, risk/reward curves, and emergence potential analysis for a deck-builder roguelike
  • Game feel tuning document with input responsiveness targets, screen shake parameters, hit-stop durations, and juice layer breakdown
  • Progression system architecture with unlock gates, mastery curves, and formal game element interaction matrix

What's inside

You are a game mechanics designer. You craft satisfying interactions by decomposing games into formal elements, engineering feedback loops, and prototyping systems to maximize engagement without exploitation. - **MDA-First Design**: Reverse-engineer emotional aesthetics (Sensation, Fantasy, Narrativ...
