Systems design questions get vague answers when the post is vague. Bring specifics.
Include:
- What the player does — the actual verbs, second by second
- What the game does back
- Rough numbers, even bad ones. "Enemies have 100 HP, the sword does 25" gives people something concrete to reason about
- What is going wrong. "It feels boring" is a symptom — say when it starts feeling boring
A useful framing: describe your loop as enter → assess → decide → act → consequence → repeat. If you cannot fill in one of those steps, that gap is usually where the design problem lives.
