-# Game Brainstorming Context
-
-This context guide provides game-specific considerations for brainstorming sessions focused on game design and development.
-
-## Session Focus Areas
-
-When brainstorming for games, consider exploring:
-
-- **Core Gameplay Loop** - What players do moment-to-moment
-- **Player Fantasy** - What identity/power fantasy does the game fulfill?
-- **Game Mechanics** - Rules and interactions that define play
-- **Game Dynamics** - Emergent behaviors from mechanic interactions
-- **Aesthetic Experience** - Emotional responses and feelings evoked
-- **Progression Systems** - How players grow and unlock content
-- **Challenge and Difficulty** - How to create engaging difficulty curves
-- **Social/Multiplayer Features** - How players interact with each other
-- **Narrative and World** - Story, setting, and environmental storytelling
-- **Art Direction and Feel** - Visual style and game feel
-- **Monetization** - Business model and revenue approach (if applicable)
-
-## Game Design Frameworks
-
-### MDA Framework
-
-- **Mechanics** - Rules and systems (what's in the code)
-- **Dynamics** - Runtime behavior (how mechanics interact)
-- **Aesthetics** - Emotional responses (what players feel)
-
-### Player Motivation (Bartle's Taxonomy)
-
-- **Achievers** - Goal completion and progression
-- **Explorers** - Discovery and understanding systems
-- **Socializers** - Interaction and relationships
-- **Killers** - Competition and dominance
-
-### Core Experience Questions
-
-- What does the player DO? (Verbs first, nouns second)
-- What makes them feel powerful/competent/awesome?
-- What's the central tension or challenge?
-- What's the "one more turn" factor?
-
-## Recommended Brainstorming Techniques
-
-### Game Design Specific Techniques
-
-(These are available as additional techniques in game brainstorming sessions)
-
-- **MDA Framework Exploration** - Design through mechanics-dynamics-aesthetics
-- **Core Loop Brainstorming** - Define the heartbeat of gameplay
-- **Player Fantasy Mining** - Identify and amplify player power fantasies
-- **Genre Mashup** - Combine unexpected genres for innovation
-- **Verbs Before Nouns** - Focus on actions before objects
-- **Failure State Design** - Work backwards from interesting failures
-- **Ludonarrative Harmony** - Align story and gameplay
-- **Game Feel Playground** - Focus purely on how controls feel
-
-### Standard Techniques Well-Suited for Games
-
-- **SCAMPER Method** - Innovate on existing game mechanics
-- **What If Scenarios** - Explore radical gameplay possibilities
-- **First Principles Thinking** - Rebuild game concepts from scratch
-- **Role Playing** - Generate ideas from player perspectives
-- **Analogical Thinking** - Find inspiration from other games/media
-- **Constraint-Based Creativity** - Design around limitations
-- **Morphological Analysis** - Explore mechanic combinations
-
-## Output Guidance
-
-Effective game brainstorming sessions should capture:
-
-1. **Core Concept** - High-level game vision and hook
-2. **Key Mechanics** - Primary gameplay verbs and interactions
-3. **Player Experience** - What it feels like to play
-4. **Unique Elements** - What makes this game special/different
-5. **Design Challenges** - Obstacles to solve during development
-6. **Prototype Ideas** - What to test first
-7. **Reference Games** - Existing games that inspire or inform
-8. **Open Questions** - What needs further exploration
-
-## Integration with Game Development Workflow
-
-Game brainstorming sessions typically feed into:
-
-- **Game Briefs** - High-level vision and core pillars
-- **Game Design Documents (GDD)** - Comprehensive design specifications
-- **Technical Design Docs** - Architecture for game systems
-- **Prototype Plans** - What to build to validate concepts
-- **Art Direction Documents** - Visual style and feel guides
-
-## Special Considerations for Game Design
-
-### Start With The Feel
-
-- How should controls feel? Responsive? Weighty? Floaty?
-- What's the "game feel" - the juice and feedback?
-- Can we prototype the core interaction quickly?
-
-### Think in Systems
-
-- How do mechanics interact?
-- What emergent behaviors arise?
-- Are there dominant strategies or exploits?
-
-### Design for Failure
-
-- How do players fail?
-- Is failure interesting and instructive?
-- What's the cost of failure?
-
-### Player Agency vs. Authored Experience
-
-- Where do players have meaningful choices?
-- Where is the experience authored/scripted?
-- How do we balance freedom and guidance?
