Notes from the game studio
AI NPCs need runtime discipline, not longer prompts
Event sourcing, capability boundaries and side-effect-free replay may decide whether AI NPCs can ship before intelligence does.
When space stops being just a map
Use a few directions, points and lines to control a high-dimensional battlefield of fronts, groups and flows.
What if surprise itself caused damage?
Move proper scoring rules from the scoreboard into the physics: understanding becomes the player’s real defense.
Define the visual quantity system before generating pixel icons
The hard part of an IAP icon set is not generating seven attractive images. It is making quantity, material and value instantly legible as one system.
