Game Design Principles
Design thinking for engaging games.
1. Core Loop Design
The 30-Second Test
Every game needs a fun 30-second loop:
1. ACTION → Player does something
2. FEEDBACK → Game responds
3. REWARD → Player feels good
4. REPEAT
Loop Examples
| Genre | Core Loop | |-------|-----------| | Platformer | Run → Jump → Land → Collect | | Shooter | Aim → Shoot → Kill → Loot | | Puzzle | Observe → Think → Solve → Advance | | RPG | Explore → Fight → Level → Gear |
2. Game Design Document (GDD)
Essential Sections
| Section | Content | |---------|---------| | Pitch | One-sentence description | | Core Loop | 30-second gameplay | | Mechanics | How systems work | | Progression | How player advances | | Art Style | Visual direction | | Audio | Sound direction |
Principles
- Keep it living (update regularly)
- Visuals help communicate
- Less is more (start small)
3. Player Psychology
Motivation Types
| Type | Driven By | |------|-----------| | Achiever | Goals, completion | | Explorer | Discovery, secrets | | Socializer | Interaction, community | | Killer | Competition, dominance |
Reward Schedules
| Schedule | Effect | Use | |----------|--------|-----| | Fixed | Predictable | Milestone rewards | | Variable | Addictive | Loot drops | | Ratio | Effort-based | Grind games |
4. Difficulty Balancing
Flow State
Too Hard → Frustration → Quit
Too Easy → Boredom → Quit
Just Right → Flow → Engagement
Balancing Strategies
| Strategy | How | |----------|-----| | Dynamic | Adjust to player skill | | Selection | Let player choose | | Accessibility | Options for all |
5. Progression Design
Progression Types
| Type | Example | |------|---------| | Skill | Player gets better | | Power | Character gets stronger | | Content | New areas unlock | | Story | Narrative advances |
Pacing Principles
- Early wins (hook quickly)
- Gradually increase challenge
- Rest beats between intensity
- Meaningful choices
6. Anti-Patterns
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do | |----------|-------| | Design in isolation | Playtest constantly | | Polish before fun | Prototype first | | Force one way to play | Allow player expression | | Punish excessively | Reward progress |
Remember: Fun is discovered through iteration, not designed on paper.

GraphQL gives clients exactly the data they need - no more, no less. One endpoint, typed schema, introspection. But the flexibility that makes it powerful also makes it dangerous. Without proper controls, clients can craft queries that bring down your server. This skill covers schema design, resolvers, DataLoader for N+1 prevention, federation for microservices, and client integration with Apollo/urql. Key insight: GraphQL is a contract. The schema is the API documentation. Design it carefully.
