Expert blueprint for educational games including gamification loops (learn/apply/feedback/adapt), progress tracking (student profiles, mastery %), adaptive difficulty (target 70% success rate), spaced repetition, curriculum trees (prerequisite system), and visual feedback (confetti, XP bars). Use for learning apps, training simulations, or edutainment. Trigger keywords: educational_game, gamification, adaptive_difficulty, spaced_repetition, student_profile, curriculum_tree, mastery_tracking.
Expert blueprint for Metroidvanias including ability-gated exploration (locks/keys), interconnected world design (backtracking with shortcuts), persistent state tracking (collectibles, boss defeats), room transitions (seamless loading), map systems (grid-based revelation), and ability versatility (combat + traversal). Use for exploration platformers or action-adventure games. Trigger keywords: metroidvania, ability_gating, interconnected_world, backtracking, map_system, persistent_state, room_transition, soft_locks.
Guided game concept ideation — from zero idea to a structured game concept document. Uses professional studio ideation techniques, player psychology frameworks, and structured creative exploration.
Game development orchestrator. Routes to platform-specific skills based on project needs.
Cross-engine design pattern comparison for game development including ECS, state machines, networking, and common architectures
Deep pixel art expertise covering fundamentals, limited palettes, dithering patterns, subpixel animation, tile design, retro hardware constraints, and HD-2D hybrid techniques. Knowledge Claude wouldn't normally have from indie masters like Pedro Medeiros (saint11). Use when "pixel art, sprite art, dithering, limited palette, subpixel animation, tileset, autotile, pillow shading, selective outline, selout, hue shifting, color ramp, NES style, SNES style, HD-2D, Aseprite, retro game art, 8-bit, 16-bit, pixel-art, sprites, animation, retro, indie-games, dithering, palettes, tiles, subpixel, aseprite, NES, SNES, GBA, HD-2D" mentioned.
Audit and improve the visual design, polish, and player experience of an existing game
AI-driven Game Development Studio using BMAD methodology. Routes game projects through Pre-production, Design, Architecture, Production, and Game Testing phases with 6 specialized agents. Supports Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, and custom engines.
Holistic cross-GDD consistency and game design review. Reads all system GDDs simultaneously and checks for contradictions between them, stale references, ownership conflicts, formula incompatibilities, and game design theory violations (dominant strategies, economic imbalance, cognitive overload, pillar drift). Run after all MVP GDDs are written, before architecture begins.
Decompose a game concept into individual systems, map dependencies, prioritize design order, and create the systems index.
Invoke when the user wants to plan, execute, or analyze a structured playtest session with behavioral observation. Covers protocol design, observer guides, and data synthesis. Triggers on: "playtest", "player feedback", "usability test", "observation session", "playtest analysis". Do NOT invoke for QA bug testing (use game-qa-lead) or balance tuning (use game-balance-check). Part of the AlterLab GameForge collection.
Expert in designing compelling progression systems that create the "one more turn" hook while respecting player time. Deep knowledge of XP mathematics, skill tree topology, reward pacing psychology, and meta-progression loops. Draws from decades of ARPG evolution (Diablo, Path of Exile), roguelike innovation (Hades, Slay the Spire), and mobile design patterns. Use when "level up system, xp curve, skill tree, progression system, unlock system, prestige system, battle pass, new game plus, loot progression, power curve, meta progression, achievement system, " mentioned.
