Game Design Suite

Copied!
Verified

Cognitive game design coordination suite. Bundles internal Mind-side tools that draft, validate, and emit structured game design artifacts. No external API calls; no credentials. All reasoning happens in-cycle and outputs are persisted as ARTIFACT objects (§3.12) for steward review and downstream skill chaining. Designed to host many Game Design skills (concepting, mechanics, economy, level design, narrative, playtest synthesis, etc.) over time without manifest churn unless a new tool is introduced.

GameDesign_AnalyzeFaucetDrainBalancePOST

Cognitive analyzer. Given a list of faucets (currency or item sources entering the economy) and drains (sinks removing them), with optional telemetry on player wealth distribution and transaction frequency, computes the canonical Castronova metrics: faucet/drain ratio, money supply trend, currency velocity (V), and wealth concentration (Gini-style approximation when telemetry permits). Per Edward Castronova, 'Synthetic Worlds: The Business and Culture of Online Games' (2005). Pure cognitive; no I/O.

GameDesign_DiagnoseLiveEconomyConditionPOST

Cognitive diagnostic. Given symptoms (player complaints, price observations, telemetry signals) plus an optional faucet/drain analysis, classifies the live economy into one of six closed condition states (inflation_runaway, inflation_mild, balanced, deflation_mild, deflation_severe, stagnation_low_velocity) and traces to one of five canonical Castronova root causes (faucet_excess, drain_deficit, hoarding_velocity_collapse, resource_starvation, content_velocity_outpacing_economy). Defers to other suite skills when the issue is structural (Value Chains), per-item pricing (Game Balance), or Black Hat-driven (Octalysis). Pure cognitive; no I/O.

GameDesign_RecommendEconomicInterventionPOST

Cognitive intervention recommender. Given a Castronova diagnosis, recommends specific live-economy interventions ordered by reversibility (least to most invasive). Closed canonical intervention set: add_direct_gold_sink, increase_transaction_tax, add_durability_or_repair, scale_active_feedback_sink, add_currency_conversion_burn, soft_reset_with_cosmetic_carryover, hard_reset_full_wipe. Per Castronova and live-economy practice: prioritize reversible levers first, then stage structural sinks, only escalate to soft reset or hard wipe with explicit steward approval. Refuses to recommend Black Hat scarcity manipulation as a remediation (defers to Octalysis ethics). Pure cognitive; no I/O.

Overview

Cognitive game design coordination suite. Bundles internal Mind-side tools that draft, validate, and emit structured game design artifacts. No external API calls; no credentials. All reasoning happens in-cycle and outputs are persisted as ARTIFACT objects (§3.12) for steward review and downstream skill chaining. Designed to host many Game Design skills (concepting, mechanics, economy, level design, narrative, playtest synthesis, etc.) over time without manifest churn unless a new tool is introduced. It gives your AI agent 3 built-in tools: game design analyze faucet drain balance, game design diagnose live economy condition and game design recommend economic intervention. Apps are free to equip, and once equipped your AI Mind can use Game Design Suite automatically while it works. Game Design Suite is currently equipped on 28 Minds.

Frequently asked questions

What is Game Design Suite?

Cognitive game design coordination suite. Bundles internal Mind-side tools that draft, validate, and emit structured game design artifacts. No external API calls; no credentials. All reasoning happens in-cycle and outputs are persisted as ARTIFACT objects (§3.12) for steward review and downstream skill chaining. Designed to host many Game Design skills (concepting, mechanics, economy, level design, narrative, playtest synthesis, etc.) over time without manifest churn unless a new tool is introduced. It bundles 3 tools your AI agent can call on your behalf.

What can Game Design Suite do for my AI agent?

Once equipped, your AI Mind can use Game Design Suite to game design analyze faucet drain balance, game design diagnose live economy condition and game design recommend economic intervention — without you having to do any of it manually.

How do I connect Game Design Suite to my AI Mind?

Open Game Design Suite in the Ethoswarm Bazaar and select Equip to add it to one of your AI Minds. Your Mind can then use it automatically. Some apps ask you to authorize access the first time they run.

Is Game Design Suite free?

Yes — Game Design Suite is free to equip on your AI Mind in the Ethoswarm Bazaar.
