SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Balance data in games can drift after changes, leading to broken progression, skewed economies, or uneven combat. This Skill analyzes balance data files, formulas, and design objectives to identify anomalies, ranking issues, and missing guardrails.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase 1: Identify balance domains by scanning data for combat, economy, progression, and loot, using assets/data and, where available, design goals from design/gdd.
  • Phase 2: Read and aggregate numeric values from assets/data to form an index of all balance-relevant numbers (DPS, HP, costs, XP curves, etc.).
  • Phase 3: Cross-reference with design intent to assess whether current data aligns with target difficulty and progression pacing.
  • Use Case: After updates to balance formulas, run checks to surface outliers, unexpected growth, or budget leaks.

Quick Start

Balance-check after any balance data change to verify its impact and ensure consistency with design goals.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check game balance data for progression and economy issues after updates?

Balance analysis works by aggregating numeric values like DPS, HP, costs, and XP curves from your data files into an index, then cross-referencing those values with design guidance to detect outliers and unexpected growth.

Can I use this to diagnose combat balance issues in JSON and CSV character files?

Yes, you can diagnose combat balance issues by reading numeric values from character and enemy assets in JSON, YAML, and CSV formats, then cross-referencing them with design intent to surface inconsistencies.

What is the best way to find balance outliers and budget leaks in game design data?

The best way to find balance outliers is to run a balance check after any data change, which scans assets to aggregate balance-relevant numbers and generates a structured report highlighting unexpected growth and budget leaks.

Does balance checking work without a game design document present?

Balance checking works without a game design document by scanning assets and data files directly to identify balance domains, but utilizing design guidance from a GDD enhances the assessment of target difficulty and progression pacing.

When should I run a game economy balance check on my data files?

You should run a game economy balance check after any updates to balance formulas, characters, items, or progression data to verify the impact of changes and ensure consistency with your original design goals.
