SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Balancing in games often drifts due to data changes, economics, and progression curves, leading to unfair or dull gameplay. This Skill provides a structured analysis to identify outliers, degenerate strategies, and balance gaps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify balance domains (combat, economy, progression, loot) across data and design docs.
  • Read data from assets/data, design/balance, and design/gdd to assess consistency.
  • Produce a prioritized report highlighting health, outliers, and recommended fixes for designers and engineers.
  • Use after modifying balance-related data or design to validate changes.

Quick Start

Invoke balance-check with a target system name or data path to analyze balance data and generate a structured report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect balance outliers in game combat and economy data?

Game balance analysis identifies outliers by reading data files and design docs to compute metrics, compare them against reference curves, and output a structured health report highlighting degenerate strategies across combat, economy, progression, and loot domains.

What causes degenerate strategies and balance drift in game design?

Degenerate strategies and balance drift occur when data changes and progression curve modifications introduce inconsistencies, causing unfair gameplay that requires structured analysis of design docs and data files to detect and resolve.

How do I validate game economy and progression changes after modifying data?

Validate economy and progression changes by running a balance check on modified data paths to compute updated metrics, compare them against reference expectations, and generate a structured health report with actionable recommendations.

Can I analyze loot table balance across data files and design documents?

Yes, loot balance analysis reads data from assets/data and design/balance directories to assess consistency, compute metrics, and identify gaps or outliers in the loot domain, producing a prioritized health report for designers.

Does game balance analysis work without external dependencies or components?

Yes, game balance analysis operates without external dependencies or components, reading directly from existing data files and design documents to compute metrics and output a structured health report with no additional setup required.

What is the best way to generate a game balance health report for designers?

Generate a game balance health report by computing metrics and curves from balance data, comparing them to reference expectations, and outputting prioritized findings with outliers and actionable recommendations tailored for designers and engineers.
