Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks + [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] + +6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective + [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] + +7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches + [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] + +8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection + [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] + +9.

Using default."); + playerSprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/Default"); +} +``` + +### Runtime Error Recovery + +**Assertions and Logging:** +- Use `Debug.Assert(condition, "Message")` to check for critical conditions that must be true. +- Use `Debug.LogError("Message")` for fatal errors and `Debug.LogWarning("Message")` for non-critical issues. +```csharp +// Example of using an assertion to ensure a component exists. +private Rigidbody2D _rb; + +void Awake() +{ + _rb = GetComponent(); + Debug.Assert(_rb != null, "Rigidbody2D component not found on player!"); +} +``` + +## Testing Standards + +### Unit Testing (Edit Mode) + +**Game Logic Testing:** +```csharp +// HealthSystemTests.cs - Example test for a simple health system. +using NUnit.Framework; +using UnityEngine; + +public class HealthSystemTests +{ + [Test] + public void TakeDamage_ReducesHealth() + { + // Arrange + var gameObject = new GameObject(); + var healthSystem = gameObject.AddComponent(); + // Note: This is a simplified example.

Analyze Game Flow and Mechanic Dependencies + [[LLM: From your game design role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical gameplay progression, mechanic interdependencies, and player learning curve. Confirm if game elements are introduced in an effective order that teaches players naturally and maintains engagement throughout the experience.]] + +4. Assess Alignment with Player Experience Goals + [[LLM: Evaluate how well the current game design content contributes to the stated player experience goals and core game pillars. Consider whether the mechanics actually create the intended emotions and engagement patterns. Identify any misalignments between design intentions and likely player reactions.]] + +5. Identify Potential Player Confusion and Design Risks + [[LLM: Based on your game design expertise, brainstorm potential sources of player confusion, overlooked edge cases in gameplay, balance issues, technical implementation risks, or unintended player behaviors that could emerge from the current design. Consider both new and experienced players' perspectives.]] + +6. Challenge from Critical Game Design Perspective + [[LLM: Adopt a critical game design perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another viewpoint (e.g., 'as a casual player', 'as a speedrunner', 'as a mobile player', 'as a technical implementer'), critique the content from that specified perspective. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your game design expertise, arguing against the current design proposal and highlighting potential weaknesses, player experience issues, or implementation challenges. This can include questioning scope creep, unnecessary complexity, or features that don't serve the core player experience.]] + +7. Explore Alternative Game Design Approaches + [[LLM: From your game design role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches to achieving the same player experience goals or solving the same design challenge. Consider different genres, mechanics, interaction models, or technical approaches. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2-3 distinct alternative design approaches, detailing the pros, cons, player experience implications, and technical feasibility you foresee for each.]] + +8. Hindsight Postmortem: The 'If Only...' Game Design Reflection + [[LLM: In your current game design persona, imagine this is a postmortem for a shipped game based on the current design content. What's the one 'if only we had designed/considered/tested X...' that your role would highlight from a game design perspective? Include the imagined player reactions, review scores, or development consequences. This should be both insightful and somewhat humorous, focusing on common game design pitfalls.]] + +9.
