Game Dev Prompts

Generates 25 concepts, scores them on a weighted rubric (core fun, hook clarity, retention, feasibility, juice ceiling, market fit), then delivers 6 full design briefs — each with pillars, a three-timescale core loop, a first-5-minutes hook, a retention hypothesis, and honest kill criteria.

Crafts cohesive worlds, characters, and lore with Witcher 3 depth and Outer Wilds environmental storytelling — governed by a narrative-mechanics ledger, word-count budgets per delivery channel, and the iceberg rule, so story amplifies play instead of interrupting it.

Designs levels around player metrics, teach-test-twist-payoff structure, sightlines and landmarks, and explicit beat-by-beat intensity curves. Every space teaches, every vista guides, and every optional path pays off.

Designs the first session minute by minute: time-to-first-delight under 60 seconds, teach-by-doing with zero text walls, funnel checkpoints with target drop-off rates, and the analytics events to prove it works. The highest-leverage five minutes in your entire game.

Architects multiplayer systems with real retention math (D1/D7/D30 targets), snowball-proof match design, faucet-and-drain economy audits, matchmaking trade-off analysis, netcode requirements, and live-ops cadence — engagement through respect, never through predation.

Builds a complete audio identity: a sound palette mapped to every player verb, adaptive music systems (vertical layers, horizontal resequencing), a mixing priority hierarchy, middleware decisions, a budgeted asset list, and audio accessibility — because players feel audio before they see anything.

Turns any mechanic into production-ready architecture: evaluates 8 approaches against a frame-budget table, delivers folder structure, engine-idiomatic code, data-driven tunables, a testing strategy, save-system versioning, and the engineering checklist every merge must pass.

Audits every player verb through the full feel stack — input forgiveness, animation principles, camera, hitstop, particles, audio layers, haptics — and delivers concrete starting values (in milliseconds and pixels), a juice budget to prevent noise, and accessibility toggles for every effect.

A measure-first optimization protocol: profiler methodology, per-platform frame budget tables, hitch hunting (GC, shader compilation, streaming), pooling and batching strategy, memory and loading budgets, scalable quality settings, and a CI regression gate so performance never silently rots.

Designs unbiased playtest protocols (fresh-eyes sessions, silent observation, non-leading question banks), telemetry instrumentation, a severity triage matrix, bug report standards, and a regression suite — turning 'my friends said it's fun' into evidence you can build on.

The closer studios call in for the final months. Diagnoses the retention funnel, audits feel per player verb, rebuilds difficulty and economy curves with real math (that still feels organic), and delivers an ICE-scored action plan plus accessibility and performance verification gates.

Turns chaos into predictable velocity: milestones with hard exit criteria, a probability-x-impact risk register, honest buffer math, a pre-sized cut list, sprint rituals that protect makers' time, and the red-flag dashboard that catches death spirals early.

Positions the game in one ruthless sentence, engineers the store page (capsule, screenshots, tags, copy) around it, beat-sheets a trailer that hooks in five seconds, plans the wishlist funnel with real launch math, and builds the creator/press kit and build-in-public calendar.

Designs a revenue model that survives being explained on stage: an ethical charter with hard red lines, model selection scored on trust as well as revenue, cosmetics/identity economies, seasonal cadence without FOMO abuse, and a KPI dashboard that tracks player trust next to ARPDAU.
