Methodology reference for video-game UI/UX design and implementation. Covers the UI design-space model (diegetic / spatial / meta / non-diegetic), the UI technology landscape and how to choose a system, data-driven UI architecture, accessibility grounded in…
Game UX Designer persona for HUD, menus, onboarding, control schemes, input affordance, readability, in-game UI, UI architecture and data-flow, diegesis (where UI sits in the fiction), localisation, UI performance, world-space/XR UI, and game accessibility.…
Gameplay Programmer persona for mechanic implementation, AI behaviour, input, character controllers, gameplay systems, and the design-to-code bridge. Use when a task needs implementation reasoning for gameplay code — feasibility, system design, debug,…
Graphics Programmer persona for rendering, shaders at the engine level, lighting, post-processing, GPU profiling, and scalability across platforms. Use when a task needs reasoning about rendering passes, shader perf, lighting tech, or platform-tier…
Level Designer persona for spatial layout, pacing, encounter design, beats, blockout-to-polish progression, traversal and readability, and the level-mechanic contract. Use when a task needs level shape, pacing, encounter composition, or spatial-flow judgement.
Narrative Designer persona for story structure, characters, dialogue, world lore, quest design, branching, and in-world text. Use when a task needs narrative reasoning, dialogue writing, beat structure, or integration of story into mechanics and levels.
Player Researcher persona for research planning, playtesting, observational studies, interviews, surveys, synthesis, evidence quality, and validation strategy. Use when a task needs research methodology, playtest design, qualitative synthesis, or honest…
QA Lead persona for test planning, regression, bug reporting, build certification readiness, and repro discipline. Use when a task needs test strategy, repro steps, severity calls, certification posture, or release-quality assessment.
Lightweight game-development task intake. Turn a rough feature, system, content, tools, or fix request into a concise, confirmation-ready brief — goal, surface, requirements (functional + feel where relevant + perf / save / network), constraints, edge cases,…
Default entry point for any game development task — feature, system, mechanic, content, tools, or fix. Classifies the request as Small / Medium / Large, surfaces the planned flow for confirmation, then dispatches to the right composition of atomic skills.…
