Video Game Design & Build

Starts with a structured game design document (core loop, Bartle motivation type, the one mechanic that makes it unique), then prototypes the core loop first with playtest checkpoints — not just 'make me a game.'

Frames the AI as a behavioral-psychology-informed game design strategist and forces every idea through a three-part filter — instant legibility, chemical replay pull, and viral surface area — so you get inventive, mechanism-grounded mechanics instead of generic design advice.
