7	## 1. Core Loop Design
8
9	### The 30-Second Test
10
11	```
12	Every game needs a fun 30-second loop:
13	1. ACTION → Player does something
14	2. FEEDBACK → Game responds
15	3. REWARD → Player feels good
16	4. REPEAT
17	```
18
19	### Loop Examples
20
21	\| Genre \| Core Loop \|
22	\|-------\|-----------\|
23	\| Platformer \| Run → Jump → Land → Collect \|
24	\| Shooter \| Aim → Shoot → Kill → Loot \|
25	\| Puzzle \| Observe → Think → Solve → Advance \|
26	\| RPG \| Explore → Fight → Level → Gear \|

31
32	### Essential Sections
33
34	\| Section \| Content \|
35	\|---------\|---------\|
36	\| Pitch \| One-sentence description \|
37	\| Core Loop \| 30-second gameplay \|
38	\| Mechanics \| How systems work \|
39	\| Progression \| How player advances \|
40	\| Art Style \| Visual direction \|
41	\| Audio \| Sound direction \|
42
43	### Principles
44
45	- Keep it living (update regularly)
46	- Visuals help communicate
47	- Less is more (start small)
48
49	---
50
51	## 3. Player Psychology
52
53	### Motivation Types
54
55	\| Type \| Driven By \|
56	\|------\|-----------\|
57	\| Achiever \| Goals, completion \|
58	\| Explorer \| Discovery, secrets \|
59	\| Socializer \| Interaction, community \|
60	\| Killer \| Competition, dominance \|
61
62	### Reward Schedules
63
64	\| Schedule \| Effect \| Use \|
65	\|----------\|--------\|-----\|
66	\| Fixed \| Predictable \| Milestone rewards \|
67	\| Variable \| Addictive \| Loot drops \|
68	\| Ratio \| Effort-based \| Grind games \|
69
70	---
71
72	## 4. Difficulty Balancing
73
74	### Flow State
75
76	```
77	Too Hard → Frustration → Quit
78	Too Easy → Boredom → Quit
79	Just Right → Flow → Engagement
80	```
81
82	### Balancing Strategies
83
84	\| Strategy \| How \|
85	\|----------\|-----\|
86	\| Dynamic \| Adjust to player skill \|
87	\| Selection \| Let player choose \|
88	\| Accessibility \| Options for all \|
89
90	---
91
92	## 5. Progression Design
93
94	### Progression Types
95
96	\| Type \| Example \|
97	\|------\|---------\|
98	\| Skill \| Player gets better \|
99	\| Power \| Character gets stronger \|
100	\| Content \| New areas unlock \|
101	\| Story \| Narrative advances \|
102
103	### Pacing Principles
104
105	- Early wins (hook quickly)
106	- Gradually increase challenge
107	- Rest beats between intensity
108	- Meaningful choices
109
110	---
111
112	## 6. Anti-Patterns
113
114	\| ❌ Don't \| ✅ Do \|
115	\|----------\|-------\|
116	\| Design in isolation \| Playtest constantly \|
117	\| Polish before fun \| Prototype first \|
118	\| Force one way to play \| Allow player expression \|
119	\| Punish excessively \| Reward progress \|
120
121	---
122
123	> Remember: Fun is discovered through iteration, not designed on paper.
