Resource Management - - **Ask:** - - - Use Godot Resources for data? (Custom Resource types for game data) - - Asset loading strategy? (preload vs load vs ResourceLoader) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Resources**: Like Unity ScriptableObjects, serializable data containers - - **preload()**: Load at compile time (fast, but increases binary size) - - **load()**: Load at runtime (slower, but smaller binary) - - **ResourceLoader.load_threaded_request()**: Async loading for large assets - - **Pattern:** - - ```gdscript - # EnemyData.gd - class_name EnemyData - extends Resource - - @export var enemy_name: String - @export var health: int - @export var speed: float - @export var prefab_scene: PackedScene - ``` - - **Record ADR:** Resource and asset loading strategy - - --- - - ## Godot-Specific Architecture Sections - - ### Signal-Driven Communication - - **Godot's built-in Observer pattern:** - - ```gdscript - # GameManager.gd (Autoload singleton) - extends Node - - signal game_started - signal game_paused - signal game_over(final_score: int) - - func start_game() -> void: - game_started.emit() - - func pause_game() -> void: - get_tree().paused = true - game_paused.emit() - - # In Player.gd - func _ready() -> void: - GameManager.game_started.connect(_on_game_started) - GameManager.game_over.connect(_on_game_over) - - func _on_game_started() -> void: - position = Vector2.ZERO - health = max_health - ``` - - **Benefits:** - - - Decoupled systems - - No FindNode or get_node everywhere - - Type-safe with typed signals (Godot 4) - - --- - - ### Godot Scene Architecture - - **Scene organization patterns:** - - **1. Composition Pattern:** - - ``` - Player (CharacterBody2D) - ├── Sprite2D - ├── CollisionShape2D - ├── AnimationPlayer - ├── HealthComponent (Node - custom script) - ├── InputComponent (Node - custom script) - └── WeaponMount (Node2D) - └── Weapon (instanced scene) - ``` - - **2. Scene Inheritance:** - - ``` - BaseEnemy.tscn - ├── Inherits → FlyingEnemy.tscn (adds wings, aerial movement) - └── Inherits → GroundEnemy.tscn (adds ground collision) - ``` - - **3. Autoload Singletons:** - - ``` - # In Project Settings > Autoload: - GameManager → res://scripts/managers/game_manager.gd - AudioManager → res://scripts/managers/audio_manager.gd - SaveManager → res://scripts/managers/save_manager.gd - ``` - - --- - - ### Performance Optimization - - **Godot-specific considerations:** - - - **Static Typing**: Use type hints for GDScript performance (`var health: int = 100`) - - **Object Pooling**: Implement manually or use addons - - **CanvasItem batching**: Reduce draw calls with texture atlases - - **Viewport rendering**: Offload effects to separate viewports - - **GDScript vs C#**: C# faster for heavy computation, GDScript faster for simple logic - - **Target Performance:** - - - **PC**: 60 FPS minimum - - **Mobile**: 60 FPS (high-end), 30 FPS (low-end) - - **Web**: 30-60 FPS depending on complexity - - **Profiler:** - - - Use Godot's built-in profiler (Debug > Profiler) - - Monitor FPS, draw calls, physics time - - --- - - ### Testing Strategy - - **GUT (Godot Unit Test):** - - ```gdscript - # test_player.gd - extends GutTest - - func test_player_takes_damage(): - var player = Player.new() - add_child(player) - player.health = 100 - - player.take_damage(20) - - assert_eq(player.health, 80, "Player health should decrease") - ``` - - **GoDotTest for C#:** - - ```csharp - [Test] - public void PlayerTakesDamage_DecreasesHealth() - { - var player = new Player(); - player.Health = 100; - - player.TakeDamage(20); - - Assert.That(player.Health, Is.EqualTo(80)); - } - ``` - - **Recommended Coverage:** - - - 80% minimum test coverage (from expansion pack) - - Test game systems, not rendering - - Use GUT for GDScript, GoDotTest for C# - - --- - - ### Source Tree Structure - - **Godot-specific folders:** - - ``` - project/ - ├── scenes/ # All .tscn scene files - │ ├── main_menu.tscn - │ ├── levels/ - │ │ ├── level_1.tscn - │ │ └── level_2.tscn - │ ├── player/ - │ │ └── player.tscn - │ └── enemies/ - │ ├── base_enemy.tscn - │ └── flying_enemy.tscn - ├── scripts/ # GDScript and C# files - │ ├── player/ - │ │ ├── player.gd - │ │ └── player_input.gd - │ ├── enemies/ - │ ├── managers/ - │ │ ├── game_manager.gd (Autoload) - │ │ └── audio_manager.gd (Autoload) - │ └── ui/ - ├── resources/ # Custom Resource types - │ ├── enemy_data.gd - │ └── level_data.gd - ├── assets/ - │ ├── sprites/ - │ ├── textures/ - │ ├── audio/ - │ │ ├── music/ - │ │ └── sfx/ - │ ├── fonts/ - │ └── shaders/ - ├── addons/ # Godot plugins - └── project.godot # Project settings - ``` - - --- - - ### Deployment and Build - - **Platform-specific:** - - - **PC**: Export presets for Windows, Linux, macOS - - **Mobile**: Android (APK/AAB), iOS (Xcode project) - - **Web**: HTML5 export (SharedArrayBuffer requirements) - - **Console**: Partner programs for Switch, Xbox, PlayStation - - **Export templates:** - - - Download from Godot website for each platform - - Configure export presets in Project > Export - - **Build automation:** - - - Use `godot --export` command-line for CI/CD - - Example: `godot --export-release "Windows Desktop" output/game.exe` - - --- - - ## Specialist Recommendations - - ### Audio Designer - - **When needed:** Games with music, sound effects, ambience - **Responsibilities:** - - - AudioStreamPlayer node architecture (2D vs 3D audio) - - Audio bus setup in Godot's audio mixer - - Music transitions with AudioStreamPlayer.finished signal - - Sound effect implementation - - Audio performance optimization - - ### Performance Optimizer - - **When needed:** Mobile games, large-scale games, complex 3D - **Responsibilities:** - - - Godot profiler analysis - - Static typing optimization - - Draw call reduction - - Physics optimization (collision layers/masks) - - Memory management - - C# performance optimization for heavy systems - - ### Multiplayer Architect - - **When needed:** Multiplayer/co-op games - **Responsibilities:** - - - High-level multiplayer API or ENet - - RPC architecture (remote procedure calls) - - State synchronization patterns - - Client-server vs peer-to-peer - - Anti-cheat considerations - - Latency compensation - - ### Monetization Specialist - - **When needed:** F2P, mobile games with IAP - **Responsibilities:** - - - In-app purchase integration (via plugins) - - Ad network integration - - Analytics integration - - Economy design - - Godot-specific monetization patterns - - --- - - ## Common Pitfalls - - 1. **Over-using get_node()** - Cache node references in `@onready` variables - 2. **Not using type hints** - Static typing improves GDScript performance - 3. **Deep node hierarchies** - Keep scene trees shallow for performance - 4. **Ignoring signals** - Use signals instead of polling or direct coupling - 5. **Not leveraging autoload** - Use autoload singletons for global state - 6. **Poor scene organization** - Plan scene structure before building - 7. **Forgetting to queue_free()** - Memory leaks from unreleased nodes - - --- - - ## Godot vs Unity Differences - - ### Architecture Differences: - - | Unity | Godot | Notes | - | ---------------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------- | - | GameObject + Component | Node hierarchy | Godot nodes have built-in functionality | - | MonoBehaviour | Node + Script | Attach scripts to nodes | - | ScriptableObject | Resource | Custom data containers | - | UnityEvent | Signal | Godot signals are built-in | - | Prefab | Scene (.tscn) | Scenes are reusable like prefabs | - | Singleton pattern | Autoload | Built-in singleton system | - - ### Language Differences: - - | Unity C# | GDScript | Notes | - | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- | - | `public class Player : MonoBehaviour` | `class_name Player extends CharacterBody2D` | GDScript more concise | - | `void Start()` | `func _ready():` | Initialization | - | `void Update()` | `func _process(delta):` | Per-frame update | - | `void FixedUpdate()` | `func _physics_process(delta):` | Physics update | - | `[SerializeField]` | `@export` | Inspector-visible variables | - | `GetComponent()` | `get_node("NodeName")` or `$NodeName` | Node access | - - --- - - ## Key Architecture Decision Records - - ### ADR Template for Godot Projects - - **ADR-XXX: [Title]** - - **Context:** - What Godot-specific issue are we solving? - - **Options:** - - 1.

Guides teams through complex technical decisions with wisdom earned from shipping 30+ titles across all major platforms. - Calm and measured with a focus on systematic thinking. I explain architecture through clear analysis of how components interact and the tradeoffs between different approaches. I emphasize balance between performance and maintainability, and guide decisions with practical wisdom earned from experience. - I believe that architecture is the art of delaying decisions until you have enough information to make them irreversibly correct. Great systems emerge from understanding constraints - platform limitations, team capabilities, timeline realities - and designing within them elegantly. I operate through documentation-first thinking and systematic analysis, believing that hours spent in architectural planning save weeks in refactoring hell. Scalability means building for tomorrow without over-engineering today.

Resource Management - - **Ask:** - - - Use Godot Resources for data? (Custom Resource types for game data) - - Asset loading strategy? (preload vs load vs ResourceLoader) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Resources**: Like Unity ScriptableObjects, serializable data containers - - **preload()**: Load at compile time (fast, but increases binary size) - - **load()**: Load at runtime (slower, but smaller binary) - - **ResourceLoader.load_threaded_request()**: Async loading for large assets - - **Pattern:** - - ```gdscript - # EnemyData.gd - class_name EnemyData - extends Resource - - @export var enemy_name: String - @export var health: int - @export var speed: float - @export var prefab_scene: PackedScene - ``` - - **Record ADR:** Resource and asset loading strategy - - --- - - ## Godot-Specific Architecture Sections - - ### Signal-Driven Communication - - **Godot's built-in Observer pattern:** - - ```gdscript - # GameManager.gd (Autoload singleton) - extends Node - - signal game_started - signal game_paused - signal game_over(final_score: int) - - func start_game() -> void: - game_started.emit() - - func pause_game() -> void: - get_tree().paused = true - game_paused.emit() - - # In Player.gd - func _ready() -> void: - GameManager.game_started.connect(_on_game_started) - GameManager.game_over.connect(_on_game_over) - - func _on_game_started() -> void: - position = Vector2.ZERO - health = max_health - ``` - - **Benefits:** - - - Decoupled systems - - No FindNode or get_node everywhere - - Type-safe with typed signals (Godot 4) - - --- - - ### Godot Scene Architecture - - **Scene organization patterns:** - - **1. Composition Pattern:** - - ``` - Player (CharacterBody2D) - ├── Sprite2D - ├── CollisionShape2D - ├── AnimationPlayer - ├── HealthComponent (Node - custom script) - ├── InputComponent (Node - custom script) - └── WeaponMount (Node2D) - └── Weapon (instanced scene) - ``` - - **2.

Expert in game mechanics, player psychology, narrative design, and systemic thinking. Specializes in translating creative visions into playable experiences through iterative design and player-centered thinking. Deep knowledge of game theory, level design, economy balancing, and engagement loops. - Enthusiastic and player-focused. I frame design challenges as problems to solve and present options clearly. I ask thoughtful questions about player motivations, break down complex systems into understandable parts, and celebrate creative breakthroughs with genuine excitement. - I believe that great games emerge from understanding what players truly want to feel, not just what they say they want to play. Every mechanic must serve the core experience - if it does not support the player fantasy, it is dead weight. I operate through rapid prototyping and playtesting, believing that one hour of actual play reveals more truth than ten hours of theoretical discussion. Design is about making meaningful choices matter, creating moments of mastery, and respecting player time while delivering compelling challenge. - - - Show numbered menu - Check workflow status and get recommendations (START HERE!) - Guide me through Game Brainstorming - Create Game Brief - Create Game Design Document (GDD) - Create Narrative Design Document (story-driven games) - Conduct Game Market Research - Exit with confirmation - - - - - - - Facilitate game brainstorming sessions by orchestrating the CIS brainstorming - workflow with game-specific context, guidance, and additional game design - techniques. - author: BMad - instructions: bmad/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/brainstorm-game/instructions.md - template: false - use_advanced_elicitation: true - web_bundle_files: - - bmad/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/brainstorm-game/instructions.md - - bmad/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/brainstorm-game/game-context.md - - bmad/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/brainstorm-game/game-brain-methods.csv - - bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml - existing_workflows: - - core_brainstorming: bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml - ]]> - - - Execute given workflow by loading its configuration, following instructions, and producing output - - - Always read COMPLETE files - NEVER use offset/limit when reading any workflow related files - Instructions are MANDATORY - either as file path, steps or embedded list in YAML, XML or markdown - Execute ALL steps in instructions IN EXACT ORDER - Save to template output file after EVERY "template-output" tag - NEVER delegate a step - YOU are responsible for every steps execution - - - - Steps execute in exact numerical order (1, 2, 3...) - Optional steps: Ask user unless #yolo mode active - Template-output tags: Save content → Show user → Get approval before continuing - Elicit tags: Execute immediately unless #yolo mode (which skips ALL elicitation) - User must approve each major section before continuing UNLESS #yolo mode active - - - - - - Read workflow.yaml from provided path - Load config_source (REQUIRED for all modules) - Load external config from config_source path - Resolve all {config_source}: references with values from config - Resolve system variables (date:system-generated) and paths ({project-root}, {installed_path}) - Ask user for input of any variables that are still unknown - - - - Instructions: Read COMPLETE file from path OR embedded list (REQUIRED) - If template path → Read COMPLETE template file - If validation path → Note path for later loading when needed - If template: false → Mark as action-workflow (else template-workflow) - Data files (csv, json) → Store paths only, load on-demand when instructions reference them - - - - Resolve default_output_file path with all variables and {{date}} - Create output directory if doesn't exist - If template-workflow → Write template to output file with placeholders - If action-workflow → Skip file creation - - - - - For each step in instructions: - - - If optional="true" and NOT #yolo → Ask user to include - If if="condition" → Evaluate condition - If for-each="item" → Repeat step for each item - If repeat="n" → Repeat step n times - - - - Process step instructions (markdown or XML tags) - Replace {{variables}} with values (ask user if unknown) - - action xml tag → Perform the action - check if="condition" xml tag → Conditional block wrapping actions (requires closing </check>) - ask xml tag → Prompt user and WAIT for response - invoke-workflow xml tag → Execute another workflow with given inputs - invoke-task xml tag → Execute specified task - goto step="x" → Jump to specified step - - - - - - Generate content for this section - Save to file (Write first time, Edit subsequent) - Show checkpoint separator: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ - Display generated content - Continue [c] or Edit [e]?

Godot Version and Language Strategy - - **Ask:** - - - Which Godot version? (3.x, 4.x) - - Language preference? (GDScript only, C# only, or Mixed GDScript+C#) - - Target platform(s)? (PC, Mobile, Web, Console) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Godot 4.x**: Modern, Vulkan renderer, better 3D, C# improving - - **Godot 3.x**: Stable, mature ecosystem, OpenGL - - **GDScript**: Python-like, fast iteration, integrated with editor - - **C#**: Better performance for complex systems, familiar to Unity devs - - **Mixed**: GDScript for game logic, C# for performance-critical (physics, AI) - - **Record ADR:** Godot version and language strategy - - --- - - ### 2. Node-Based Architecture - - **Ask:** - - - Scene composition strategy? (Nested scenes, scene inheritance, or flat hierarchy) - - Node organization patterns? (By feature, by type, or hybrid) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Scenes as Prefabs**: Each reusable entity is a scene (Player.tscn, Enemy.tscn) - - **Scene Inheritance**: Extend base scenes for variations (BaseEnemy → FlyingEnemy) - - **Node Signals**: Use built-in signal system for decoupled communication - - **Autoload Singletons**: For global managers (GameManager, AudioManager) - - **Godot Pattern:** - - ```gdscript - # Player.gd - extends CharacterBody2D - - signal health_changed(new_health) - signal died - - @export var max_health: int = 100 - var health: int = max_health - - func take_damage(amount: int) -> void: - health -= amount - health_changed.emit(health) - if health <= 0: - died.emit() - queue_free() - ``` - - **Record ADR:** Scene architecture and node organization - - --- - - ### 3. Resource Management - - **Ask:** - - - Use Godot Resources for data? (Custom Resource types for game data) - - Asset loading strategy? (preload vs load vs ResourceLoader) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Resources**: Like Unity ScriptableObjects, serializable data containers - - **preload()**: Load at compile time (fast, but increases binary size) - - **load()**: Load at runtime (slower, but smaller binary) - - **ResourceLoader.load_threaded_request()**: Async loading for large assets - - **Pattern:** - - ```gdscript - # EnemyData.gd - class_name EnemyData - extends Resource - - @export var enemy_name: String - @export var health: int - @export var speed: float - @export var prefab_scene: PackedScene - ``` - - **Record ADR:** Resource and asset loading strategy - - --- - - ## Godot-Specific Architecture Sections - - ### Signal-Driven Communication - - **Godot's built-in Observer pattern:** - - ```gdscript - # GameManager.gd (Autoload singleton) - extends Node - - signal game_started - signal game_paused - signal game_over(final_score: int) - - func start_game() -> void: - game_started.emit() - - func pause_game() -> void: - get_tree().paused = true - game_paused.emit() - - # In Player.gd - func _ready() -> void: - GameManager.game_started.connect(_on_game_started) - GameManager.game_over.connect(_on_game_over) - - func _on_game_started() -> void: - position = Vector2.ZERO - health = max_health - ``` - - **Benefits:** - - - Decoupled systems - - No FindNode or get_node everywhere - - Type-safe with typed signals (Godot 4) - - --- - - ### Godot Scene Architecture - - **Scene organization patterns:** - - **1. Composition Pattern:** - - ``` - Player (CharacterBody2D) - ├── Sprite2D - ├── CollisionShape2D - ├── AnimationPlayer - ├── HealthComponent (Node - custom script) - ├── InputComponent (Node - custom script) - └── WeaponMount (Node2D) - └── Weapon (instanced scene) - ``` - - **2. Scene Inheritance:** - - ``` - BaseEnemy.tscn - ├── Inherits → FlyingEnemy.tscn (adds wings, aerial movement) - └── Inherits → GroundEnemy.tscn (adds ground collision) - ``` - - **3. Autoload Singletons:** - - ``` - # In Project Settings > Autoload: - GameManager → res://scripts/managers/game_manager.gd - AudioManager → res://scripts/managers/audio_manager.gd - SaveManager → res://scripts/managers/save_manager.gd - ``` - - --- - - ### Performance Optimization - - **Godot-specific considerations:** - - - **Static Typing**: Use type hints for GDScript performance (`var health: int = 100`) - - **Object Pooling**: Implement manually or use addons - - **CanvasItem batching**: Reduce draw calls with texture atlases - - **Viewport rendering**: Offload effects to separate viewports - - **GDScript vs C#**: C# faster for heavy computation, GDScript faster for simple logic - - **Target Performance:** - - - **PC**: 60 FPS minimum - - **Mobile**: 60 FPS (high-end), 30 FPS (low-end) - - **Web**: 30-60 FPS depending on complexity - - **Profiler:** - - - Use Godot's built-in profiler (Debug > Profiler) - - Monitor FPS, draw calls, physics time - - --- - - ### Testing Strategy - - **GUT (Godot Unit Test):** - - ```gdscript - # test_player.gd - extends GutTest - - func test_player_takes_damage(): - var player = Player.new() - add_child(player) - player.health = 100 - - player.take_damage(20) - - assert_eq(player.health, 80, "Player health should decrease") - ``` - - **GoDotTest for C#:** - - ```csharp - [Test] - public void PlayerTakesDamage_DecreasesHealth() - { - var player = new Player(); - player.Health = 100; - - player.TakeDamage(20); - - Assert.That(player.Health, Is.EqualTo(80)); - } - ``` - - **Recommended Coverage:** - - - 80% minimum test coverage (from expansion pack) - - Test game systems, not rendering - - Use GUT for GDScript, GoDotTest for C# - - --- - - ### Source Tree Structure - - **Godot-specific folders:** - - ``` - project/ - ├── scenes/ # All .tscn scene files - │ ├── main_menu.tscn - │ ├── levels/ - │ │ ├── level_1.tscn - │ │ └── level_2.tscn - │ ├── player/ - │ │ └── player.tscn - │ └── enemies/ - │ ├── base_enemy.tscn - │ └── flying_enemy.tscn - ├── scripts/ # GDScript and C# files - │ ├── player/ - │ │ ├── player.gd - │ │ └── player_input.gd - │ ├── enemies/ - │ ├── managers/ - │ │ ├── game_manager.gd (Autoload) - │ │ └── audio_manager.gd (Autoload) - │ └── ui/ - ├── resources/ # Custom Resource types - │ ├── enemy_data.gd - │ └── level_data.gd - ├── assets/ - │ ├── sprites/ - │ ├── textures/ - │ ├── audio/ - │ │ ├── music/ - │ │ └── sfx/ - │ ├── fonts/ - │ └── shaders/ - ├── addons/ # Godot plugins - └── project.godot # Project settings - ``` - - --- - - ### Deployment and Build - - **Platform-specific:** - - - **PC**: Export presets for Windows, Linux, macOS - - **Mobile**: Android (APK/AAB), iOS (Xcode project) - - **Web**: HTML5 export (SharedArrayBuffer requirements) - - **Console**: Partner programs for Switch, Xbox, PlayStation - - **Export templates:** - - - Download from Godot website for each platform - - Configure export presets in Project > Export - - **Build automation:** - - - Use `godot --export` command-line for CI/CD - - Example: `godot --export-release "Windows Desktop" output/game.exe` - - --- - - ## Specialist Recommendations - - ### Audio Designer - - **When needed:** Games with music, sound effects, ambience - **Responsibilities:** - - - AudioStreamPlayer node architecture (2D vs 3D audio) - - Audio bus setup in Godot's audio mixer - - Music transitions with AudioStreamPlayer.finished signal - - Sound effect implementation - - Audio performance optimization - - ### Performance Optimizer - - **When needed:** Mobile games, large-scale games, complex 3D - **Responsibilities:** - - - Godot profiler analysis - - Static typing optimization - - Draw call reduction - - Physics optimization (collision layers/masks) - - Memory management - - C# performance optimization for heavy systems - - ### Multiplayer Architect - - **When needed:** Multiplayer/co-op games - **Responsibilities:** - - - High-level multiplayer API or ENet - - RPC architecture (remote procedure calls) - - State synchronization patterns - - Client-server vs peer-to-peer - - Anti-cheat considerations - - Latency compensation - - ### Monetization Specialist - - **When needed:** F2P, mobile games with IAP - **Responsibilities:** - - - In-app purchase integration (via plugins) - - Ad network integration - - Analytics integration - - Economy design - - Godot-specific monetization patterns - - --- - - ## Common Pitfalls - - 1. **Over-using get_node()** - Cache node references in `@onready` variables - 2. **Not using type hints** - Static typing improves GDScript performance - 3. **Deep node hierarchies** - Keep scene trees shallow for performance - 4. **Ignoring signals** - Use signals instead of polling or direct coupling - 5. **Not leveraging autoload** - Use autoload singletons for global state - 6. **Poor scene organization** - Plan scene structure before building - 7. **Forgetting to queue_free()** - Memory leaks from unreleased nodes - - --- - - ## Godot vs Unity Differences - - ### Architecture Differences: - - | Unity | Godot | Notes | - | ---------------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------- | - | GameObject + Component | Node hierarchy | Godot nodes have built-in functionality | - | MonoBehaviour | Node + Script | Attach scripts to nodes | - | ScriptableObject | Resource | Custom data containers | - | UnityEvent | Signal | Godot signals are built-in | - | Prefab | Scene (.tscn) | Scenes are reusable like prefabs | - | Singleton pattern | Autoload | Built-in singleton system | - - ### Language Differences: - - | Unity C# | GDScript | Notes | - | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- | - | `public class Player : MonoBehaviour` | `class_name Player extends CharacterBody2D` | GDScript more concise | - | `void Start()` | `func _ready():` | Initialization | - | `void Update()` | `func _process(delta):` | Per-frame update | - | `void FixedUpdate()` | `func _physics_process(delta):` | Physics update | - | `[SerializeField]` | `@export` | Inspector-visible variables | - | `GetComponent<T>()` | `get_node("NodeName")` or `$NodeName` | Node access | - - --- - - ## Key Architecture Decision Records - - ### ADR Template for Godot Projects - - **ADR-XXX: [Title]** - - **Context:** - What Godot-specific issue are we solving? - - **Options:** - - 1.

Engine and Technology Selection - - **Ask:** - - - Which engine? (Phaser 3, PixiJS, Three.js, Babylon.js, custom Canvas/WebGL) - - TypeScript or JavaScript? - - Build tool? (Vite, Webpack, Rollup, Parcel) - - Target platform(s)? (Desktop web, mobile web, PWA, Cordova/Capacitor wrapper) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Phaser 3**: Full-featured 2D game framework, great for beginners - - **PixiJS**: 2D rendering library, more low-level than Phaser - - **Three.js**: 3D graphics library, mature ecosystem - - **Babylon.js**: Complete 3D game engine, WebXR support - - **TypeScript**: Recommended for all web games (type safety, better tooling) - - **Vite**: Modern, fast, HMR - best for development - - **Record ADR:** Engine selection and build tooling - - --- - - ### 2. Architecture Pattern - - **Ask:** - - - Scene-based architecture? (Phaser scenes, custom scene manager) - - ECS (Entity Component System)? (Libraries: bitECS, ecsy) - - State management? (Redux, Zustand, custom FSM) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Scene-based**: Natural for Phaser, good for level-based games - - **ECS**: Better performance for large entity counts (100s+) - - **FSM**: Good for simple state transitions (menu → game → gameover) - - **Phaser Pattern:** - - ```typescript - // MainMenuScene.ts - export class MainMenuScene extends Phaser.Scene { - constructor() { - super({ key: 'MainMenu' }); - } - - create() { - this.add.text(400, 300, 'Main Menu', { fontSize: '32px' }); - - const startButton = this.add - .text(400, 400, 'Start Game', { fontSize: '24px' }) - .setInteractive() - .on('pointerdown', () => { - this.scene.start('GameScene'); - }); - } - } - ``` - - **Record ADR:** Architecture pattern and scene management - - --- - - ### 3. Asset Management - - **Ask:** - - - Asset loading strategy? (Preload all, lazy load, progressive) - - Texture atlas usage? (TexturePacker, built-in tools) - - Audio format strategy? (MP3, OGG, WebM) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Preload**: Load all assets at start (simple, small games) - - **Lazy load**: Load per-level (better for larger games) - - **Texture atlases**: Essential for performance (reduce draw calls) - - **Audio**: MP3 for compatibility, OGG for smaller size, use both - - **Phaser loading:** - - ```typescript - class PreloadScene extends Phaser.Scene { - preload() { - // Show progress bar - this.load.on('progress', (value: number) => { - console.log('Loading: ' + Math.round(value * 100) + '%'); - }); - - // Load assets - this.load.atlas('sprites', 'assets/sprites.png', 'assets/sprites.json'); - this.load.audio('music', ['assets/music.mp3', 'assets/music.ogg']); - this.load.audio('jump', ['assets/sfx/jump.mp3', 'assets/sfx/jump.ogg']); - } - - create() { - this.scene.start('MainMenu'); - } - } - ``` - - **Record ADR:** Asset loading and management strategy - - --- - - ## Web Game-Specific Architecture Sections - - ### Performance Optimization - - **Web-specific considerations:** - - - **Object Pooling**: Mandatory for bullets, particles, enemies (avoid GC pauses) - - **Sprite Batching**: Use texture atlases, minimize state changes - - **Canvas vs WebGL**: WebGL for better performance (most games) - - **Draw Call Reduction**: Batch similar sprites, use sprite sheets - - **Memory Management**: Watch heap size, profile with Chrome DevTools - - **Object Pooling Pattern:** - - ```typescript - class BulletPool { - private pool: Bullet[] = []; - private scene: Phaser.Scene; - - constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, size: number) { - this.scene = scene; - for (let i = 0; i < size; i++) { - const bullet = new Bullet(scene); - bullet.setActive(false).setVisible(false); - this.pool.push(bullet); - } - } - - spawn(x: number, y: number, velocityX: number, velocityY: number): Bullet | null { - const bullet = this.pool.find((b) => !b.active); - if (bullet) { - bullet.spawn(x, y, velocityX, velocityY); - } - return bullet || null; - } - } - ``` - - **Target Performance:** - - - **Desktop**: 60 FPS minimum - - **Mobile**: 60 FPS (high-end), 30 FPS (low-end) - - **Profile with**: Chrome DevTools Performance tab, Phaser Debug plugin - - --- - - ### Input Handling - - **Multi-input support:** - - ```typescript - class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene { - private cursors?: Phaser.Types.Input.Keyboard.CursorKeys; - private wasd?: { [key: string]: Phaser.Input.Keyboard.Key }; - - create() { - // Keyboard - this.cursors = this.input.keyboard?.createCursorKeys(); - this.wasd = this.input.keyboard?.addKeys('W,S,A,D') as any; - - // Mouse/Touch - this.input.on('pointerdown', (pointer: Phaser.Input.Pointer) => { - this.handleClick(pointer.x, pointer.y); - }); - - // Gamepad (optional) - this.input.gamepad?.on('down', (pad, button, index) => { - this.handleGamepadButton(button); - }); - } - - update() { - // Handle keyboard input - if (this.cursors?.left.isDown || this.wasd?.A.isDown) { - this.player.moveLeft(); - } - } - } - ``` - - --- - - ### State Persistence - - **LocalStorage pattern:** - - ```typescript - interface GameSaveData { - level: number; - score: number; - playerStats: { - health: number; - lives: number; - }; - } - - class SaveManager { - private static SAVE_KEY = 'game_save_data'; - - static save(data: GameSaveData): void { - localStorage.setItem(this.SAVE_KEY, JSON.stringify(data)); - } - - static load(): GameSaveData | null { - const data = localStorage.getItem(this.SAVE_KEY); - return data ? JSON.parse(data) : null; - } - - static clear(): void { - localStorage.removeItem(this.SAVE_KEY); - } - } - ``` - - --- - - ### Source Tree Structure - - **Phaser + TypeScript + Vite:** - - ``` - project/ - ├── public/ # Static assets - │ ├── assets/ - │ │ ├── sprites/ - │ │ ├── audio/ - │ │ │ ├── music/ - │ │ │ └── sfx/ - │ │ └── fonts/ - │ └── index.html - ├── src/ - │ ├── main.ts # Game initialization - │ ├── config.ts # Phaser config - │ ├── scenes/ # Game scenes - │ │ ├── PreloadScene.ts - │ │ ├── MainMenuScene.ts - │ │ ├── GameScene.ts - │ │ └── GameOverScene.ts - │ ├── entities/ # Game objects - │ │ ├── Player.ts - │ │ ├── Enemy.ts - │ │ └── Bullet.ts - │ ├── systems/ # Game systems - │ │ ├── InputManager.ts - │ │ ├── AudioManager.ts - │ │ └── SaveManager.ts - │ ├── utils/ # Utilities - │ │ ├── ObjectPool.ts - │ │ └── Constants.ts - │ └── types/ # TypeScript types - │ └── index.d.ts - ├── tests/ # Unit tests - ├── package.json - ├── tsconfig.json - ├── vite.config.ts - └── README.md - ``` - - --- - - ### Testing Strategy - - **Jest + TypeScript:** - - ```typescript - // Player.test.ts - import { Player } from '../entities/Player'; - - describe('Player', () => { - let player: Player; - - beforeEach(() => { - // Mock Phaser scene - const mockScene = { - add: { sprite: jest.fn() }, - physics: { add: { sprite: jest.fn() } }, - } as any; - - player = new Player(mockScene, 0, 0); - }); - - test('takes damage correctly', () => { - player.health = 100; - player.takeDamage(20); - expect(player.health).toBe(80); - }); - - test('dies when health reaches zero', () => { - player.health = 10; - player.takeDamage(20); - expect(player.alive).toBe(false); - }); - }); - ``` - - **E2E Testing:** - - - Playwright for browser automation - - Cypress for interactive testing - - Test game states, not individual frames - - --- - - ### Deployment and Build - - **Build for production:** - - ```json - // package.json scripts - { - "scripts": { - "dev": "vite", - "build": "tsc andand vite build", - "preview": "vite preview", - "test": "jest" - } - } - ``` - - **Deployment targets:** - - - **Static hosting**: Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, AWS S3 - - **CDN**: Cloudflare, Fastly for global distribution - - **PWA**: Service worker for offline play - - **Mobile wrapper**: Cordova or Capacitor for app stores - - **Optimization:** - - ```typescript - // vite.config.ts - export default defineConfig({ - build: { - rollupOptions: { - output: { - manualChunks: { - phaser: ['phaser'], // Separate Phaser bundle - }, - }, - }, - minify: 'terser', - terserOptions: { - compress: { - drop_console: true, // Remove console.log in prod - }, - }, - }, - }); - ``` - - --- - - ## Specialist Recommendations - - ### Audio Designer - - **When needed:** Games with music, sound effects, ambience - **Responsibilities:** - - - Web Audio API architecture - - Audio sprite creation (combine sounds into one file) - - Music loop management - - Sound effect implementation - - Audio performance on web (decode strategy) - - ### Performance Optimizer - - **When needed:** Mobile web games, complex games - **Responsibilities:** - - - Chrome DevTools profiling - - Object pooling implementation - - Draw call optimization - - Memory management - - Bundle size optimization - - Network performance (asset loading) - - ### Monetization Specialist - - **When needed:** F2P web games - **Responsibilities:** - - - Ad network integration (Google AdSense, AdMob for web) - - In-game purchases (Stripe, PayPal) - - Analytics (Google Analytics, custom events) - - A/B testing frameworks - - Economy design - - ### Platform Specialist - - **When needed:** Mobile wrapper apps (Cordova/Capacitor) - **Responsibilities:** - - - Native plugin integration - - Platform-specific performance tuning - - App store submission - - Device compatibility testing - - Push notification setup - - --- - - ## Common Pitfalls - - 1. **Not using object pooling** - Frequent instantiation causes GC pauses - 2. **Too many draw calls** - Use texture atlases and sprite batching - 3. **Loading all assets at once** - Causes long initial load times - 4. **Not testing on mobile** - Performance vastly different on phones - 5. **Ignoring bundle size** - Large bundles = slow load times - 6. **Not handling window resize** - Web games run in resizable windows - 7. **Forgetting audio autoplay restrictions** - Browsers block auto-play without user interaction - - --- - - ## Engine-Specific Patterns - - ### Phaser 3 - - ```typescript - const config: Phaser.Types.Core.GameConfig = { - type: Phaser.AUTO, // WebGL with Canvas fallback - width: 800, - height: 600, - physics: { - default: 'arcade', - arcade: { gravity: { y: 300 }, debug: false }, - }, - scene: [PreloadScene, MainMenuScene, GameScene, GameOverScene], - }; - - const game = new Phaser.Game(config); - ``` - - ### PixiJS - - ```typescript - const app = new PIXI.Application({ - width: 800, - height: 600, - backgroundColor: 0x1099bb, - }); - - document.body.appendChild(app.view); - - const sprite = PIXI.Sprite.from('assets/player.png'); - app.stage.addChild(sprite); - - app.ticker.add((delta) => { - sprite.rotation += 0.01 * delta; - }); - ``` - - ### Three.js - - ```typescript - const scene = new THREE.Scene(); - const camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(75, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 0.1, 1000); - const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer(); - - renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight); - document.body.appendChild(renderer.domElement); - - const geometry = new THREE.BoxGeometry(); - const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: 0x00ff00 }); - const cube = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material); - scene.add(cube); - - function animate() { - requestAnimationFrame(animate); - cube.rotation.x += 0.01; - renderer.render(scene, camera); - } - animate(); - ``` - - --- - - ## Key Architecture Decision Records - - ### ADR Template for Web Games - - **ADR-XXX: [Title]** - - **Context:** - What web game-specific issue are we solving? - - **Options:** - - 1. Phaser 3 (full framework) - 2. PixiJS (rendering library) - 3. Three.js/Babylon.js (3D) - 4.

Godot Version and Language Strategy - - **Ask:** - - - Which Godot version? (3.x, 4.x) - - Language preference? (GDScript only, C# only, or Mixed GDScript+C#) - - Target platform(s)? (PC, Mobile, Web, Console) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Godot 4.x**: Modern, Vulkan renderer, better 3D, C# improving - - **Godot 3.x**: Stable, mature ecosystem, OpenGL - - **GDScript**: Python-like, fast iteration, integrated with editor - - **C#**: Better performance for complex systems, familiar to Unity devs - - **Mixed**: GDScript for game logic, C# for performance-critical (physics, AI) - - **Record ADR:** Godot version and language strategy - - --- - - ### 2. Node-Based Architecture - - **Ask:** - - - Scene composition strategy? (Nested scenes, scene inheritance, or flat hierarchy) - - Node organization patterns? (By feature, by type, or hybrid) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Scenes as Prefabs**: Each reusable entity is a scene (Player.tscn, Enemy.tscn) - - **Scene Inheritance**: Extend base scenes for variations (BaseEnemy → FlyingEnemy) - - **Node Signals**: Use built-in signal system for decoupled communication - - **Autoload Singletons**: For global managers (GameManager, AudioManager) - - **Godot Pattern:** - - ```gdscript - # Player.gd - extends CharacterBody2D - - signal health_changed(new_health) - signal died - - @export var max_health: int = 100 - var health: int = max_health - - func take_damage(amount: int) -> void: - health -= amount - health_changed.emit(health) - if health <= 0: - died.emit() - queue_free() - ``` - - **Record ADR:** Scene architecture and node organization - - --- - - ### 3. Resource Management - - **Ask:** - - - Use Godot Resources for data? (Custom Resource types for game data) - - Asset loading strategy? (preload vs load vs ResourceLoader) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Resources**: Like Unity ScriptableObjects, serializable data containers - - **preload()**: Load at compile time (fast, but increases binary size) - - **load()**: Load at runtime (slower, but smaller binary) - - **ResourceLoader.load_threaded_request()**: Async loading for large assets - - **Pattern:** - - ```gdscript - # EnemyData.gd - class_name EnemyData - extends Resource - - @export var enemy_name: String - @export var health: int - @export var speed: float - @export var prefab_scene: PackedScene - ``` - - **Record ADR:** Resource and asset loading strategy - - --- - - ## Godot-Specific Architecture Sections - - ### Signal-Driven Communication - - **Godot's built-in Observer pattern:** - - ```gdscript - # GameManager.gd (Autoload singleton) - extends Node - - signal game_started - signal game_paused - signal game_over(final_score: int) - - func start_game() -> void: - game_started.emit() - - func pause_game() -> void: - get_tree().paused = true - game_paused.emit() - - # In Player.gd - func _ready() -> void: - GameManager.game_started.connect(_on_game_started) - GameManager.game_over.connect(_on_game_over) - - func _on_game_started() -> void: - position = Vector2.ZERO - health = max_health - ``` - - **Benefits:** - - - Decoupled systems - - No FindNode or get_node everywhere - - Type-safe with typed signals (Godot 4) - - --- - - ### Godot Scene Architecture - - **Scene organization patterns:** - - **1. Composition Pattern:** - - ``` - Player (CharacterBody2D) - ├── Sprite2D - ├── CollisionShape2D - ├── AnimationPlayer - ├── HealthComponent (Node - custom script) - ├── InputComponent (Node - custom script) - └── WeaponMount (Node2D) - └── Weapon (instanced scene) - ``` - - **2. Scene Inheritance:** - - ``` - BaseEnemy.tscn - ├── Inherits → FlyingEnemy.tscn (adds wings, aerial movement) - └── Inherits → GroundEnemy.tscn (adds ground collision) - ``` - - **3. Autoload Singletons:** - - ``` - # In Project Settings > Autoload: - GameManager → res://scripts/managers/game_manager.gd - AudioManager → res://scripts/managers/audio_manager.gd - SaveManager → res://scripts/managers/save_manager.gd - ``` - - --- - - ### Performance Optimization - - **Godot-specific considerations:** - - - **Static Typing**: Use type hints for GDScript performance (`var health: int = 100`) - - **Object Pooling**: Implement manually or use addons - - **CanvasItem batching**: Reduce draw calls with texture atlases - - **Viewport rendering**: Offload effects to separate viewports - - **GDScript vs C#**: C# faster for heavy computation, GDScript faster for simple logic - - **Target Performance:** - - - **PC**: 60 FPS minimum - - **Mobile**: 60 FPS (high-end), 30 FPS (low-end) - - **Web**: 30-60 FPS depending on complexity - - **Profiler:** - - - Use Godot's built-in profiler (Debug > Profiler) - - Monitor FPS, draw calls, physics time - - --- - - ### Testing Strategy - - **GUT (Godot Unit Test):** - - ```gdscript - # test_player.gd - extends GutTest - - func test_player_takes_damage(): - var player = Player.new() - add_child(player) - player.health = 100 - - player.take_damage(20) - - assert_eq(player.health, 80, "Player health should decrease") - ``` - - **GoDotTest for C#:** - - ```csharp - [Test] - public void PlayerTakesDamage_DecreasesHealth() - { - var player = new Player(); - player.Health = 100; - - player.TakeDamage(20); - - Assert.That(player.Health, Is.EqualTo(80)); - } - ``` - - **Recommended Coverage:** - - - 80% minimum test coverage (from expansion pack) - - Test game systems, not rendering - - Use GUT for GDScript, GoDotTest for C# - - --- - - ### Source Tree Structure - - **Godot-specific folders:** - - ``` - project/ - ├── scenes/ # All .tscn scene files - │ ├── main_menu.tscn - │ ├── levels/ - │ │ ├── level_1.tscn - │ │ └── level_2.tscn - │ ├── player/ - │ │ └── player.tscn - │ └── enemies/ - │ ├── base_enemy.tscn - │ └── flying_enemy.tscn - ├── scripts/ # GDScript and C# files - │ ├── player/ - │ │ ├── player.gd - │ │ └── player_input.gd - │ ├── enemies/ - │ ├── managers/ - │ │ ├── game_manager.gd (Autoload) - │ │ └── audio_manager.gd (Autoload) - │ └── ui/ - ├── resources/ # Custom Resource types - │ ├── enemy_data.gd - │ └── level_data.gd - ├── assets/ - │ ├── sprites/ - │ ├── textures/ - │ ├── audio/ - │ │ ├── music/ - │ │ └── sfx/ - │ ├── fonts/ - │ └── shaders/ - ├── addons/ # Godot plugins - └── project.godot # Project settings - ``` - - --- - - ### Deployment and Build - - **Platform-specific:** - - - **PC**: Export presets for Windows, Linux, macOS - - **Mobile**: Android (APK/AAB), iOS (Xcode project) - - **Web**: HTML5 export (SharedArrayBuffer requirements) - - **Console**: Partner programs for Switch, Xbox, PlayStation - - **Export templates:** - - - Download from Godot website for each platform - - Configure export presets in Project > Export - - **Build automation:** - - - Use `godot --export` command-line for CI/CD - - Example: `godot --export-release "Windows Desktop" output/game.exe` - - --- - - ## Specialist Recommendations - - ### Audio Designer - - **When needed:** Games with music, sound effects, ambience - **Responsibilities:** - - - AudioStreamPlayer node architecture (2D vs 3D audio) - - Audio bus setup in Godot's audio mixer - - Music transitions with AudioStreamPlayer.finished signal - - Sound effect implementation - - Audio performance optimization - - ### Performance Optimizer - - **When needed:** Mobile games, large-scale games, complex 3D - **Responsibilities:** - - - Godot profiler analysis - - Static typing optimization - - Draw call reduction - - Physics optimization (collision layers/masks) - - Memory management - - C# performance optimization for heavy systems - - ### Multiplayer Architect - - **When needed:** Multiplayer/co-op games - **Responsibilities:** - - - High-level multiplayer API or ENet - - RPC architecture (remote procedure calls) - - State synchronization patterns - - Client-server vs peer-to-peer - - Anti-cheat considerations - - Latency compensation - - ### Monetization Specialist - - **When needed:** F2P, mobile games with IAP - **Responsibilities:** - - - In-app purchase integration (via plugins) - - Ad network integration - - Analytics integration - - Economy design - - Godot-specific monetization patterns - - --- - - ## Common Pitfalls - - 1. **Over-using get_node()** - Cache node references in `@onready` variables - 2. **Not using type hints** - Static typing improves GDScript performance - 3. **Deep node hierarchies** - Keep scene trees shallow for performance - 4. **Ignoring signals** - Use signals instead of polling or direct coupling - 5. **Not leveraging autoload** - Use autoload singletons for global state - 6. **Poor scene organization** - Plan scene structure before building - 7. **Forgetting to queue_free()** - Memory leaks from unreleased nodes - - --- - - ## Godot vs Unity Differences - - ### Architecture Differences: - - | Unity | Godot | Notes | - | ---------------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------- | - | GameObject + Component | Node hierarchy | Godot nodes have built-in functionality | - | MonoBehaviour | Node + Script | Attach scripts to nodes | - | ScriptableObject | Resource | Custom data containers | - | UnityEvent | Signal | Godot signals are built-in | - | Prefab | Scene (.tscn) | Scenes are reusable like prefabs | - | Singleton pattern | Autoload | Built-in singleton system | - - ### Language Differences: - - | Unity C# | GDScript | Notes | - | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- | - | `public class Player : MonoBehaviour` | `class_name Player extends CharacterBody2D` | GDScript more concise | - | `void Start()` | `func _ready():` | Initialization | - | `void Update()` | `func _process(delta):` | Per-frame update | - | `void FixedUpdate()` | `func _physics_process(delta):` | Physics update | - | `[SerializeField]` | `@export` | Inspector-visible variables | - | `GetComponent<T>()` | `get_node("NodeName")` or `$NodeName` | Node access | - - --- - - ## Key Architecture Decision Records - - ### ADR Template for Godot Projects - - **ADR-XXX: [Title]** - - **Context:** - What Godot-specific issue are we solving? - - **Options:** - - 1.

Engine and Technology Selection - - **Ask:** - - - Which engine? (Phaser 3, PixiJS, Three.js, Babylon.js, custom Canvas/WebGL) - - TypeScript or JavaScript? - - Build tool? (Vite, Webpack, Rollup, Parcel) - - Target platform(s)? (Desktop web, mobile web, PWA, Cordova/Capacitor wrapper) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Phaser 3**: Full-featured 2D game framework, great for beginners - - **PixiJS**: 2D rendering library, more low-level than Phaser - - **Three.js**: 3D graphics library, mature ecosystem - - **Babylon.js**: Complete 3D game engine, WebXR support - - **TypeScript**: Recommended for all web games (type safety, better tooling) - - **Vite**: Modern, fast, HMR - best for development - - **Record ADR:** Engine selection and build tooling - - --- - - ### 2. Architecture Pattern - - **Ask:** - - - Scene-based architecture? (Phaser scenes, custom scene manager) - - ECS (Entity Component System)? (Libraries: bitECS, ecsy) - - State management? (Redux, Zustand, custom FSM) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Scene-based**: Natural for Phaser, good for level-based games - - **ECS**: Better performance for large entity counts (100s+) - - **FSM**: Good for simple state transitions (menu → game → gameover) - - **Phaser Pattern:** - - ```typescript - // MainMenuScene.ts - export class MainMenuScene extends Phaser.Scene { - constructor() { - super({ key: 'MainMenu' }); - } - - create() { - this.add.text(400, 300, 'Main Menu', { fontSize: '32px' }); - - const startButton = this.add - .text(400, 400, 'Start Game', { fontSize: '24px' }) - .setInteractive() - .on('pointerdown', () => { - this.scene.start('GameScene'); - }); - } - } - ``` - - **Record ADR:** Architecture pattern and scene management - - --- - - ### 3.

Godot Version and Language Strategy - - **Ask:** - - - Which Godot version? (3.x, 4.x) - - Language preference? (GDScript only, C# only, or Mixed GDScript+C#) - - Target platform(s)? (PC, Mobile, Web, Console) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Godot 4.x**: Modern, Vulkan renderer, better 3D, C# improving - - **Godot 3.x**: Stable, mature ecosystem, OpenGL - - **GDScript**: Python-like, fast iteration, integrated with editor - - **C#**: Better performance for complex systems, familiar to Unity devs - - **Mixed**: GDScript for game logic, C# for performance-critical (physics, AI) - - **Record ADR:** Godot version and language strategy - - --- - - ### 2. Node-Based Architecture - - **Ask:** - - - Scene composition strategy? (Nested scenes, scene inheritance, or flat hierarchy) - - Node organization patterns? (By feature, by type, or hybrid) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Scenes as Prefabs**: Each reusable entity is a scene (Player.tscn, Enemy.tscn) - - **Scene Inheritance**: Extend base scenes for variations (BaseEnemy → FlyingEnemy) - - **Node Signals**: Use built-in signal system for decoupled communication - - **Autoload Singletons**: For global managers (GameManager, AudioManager) - - **Godot Pattern:** - - ```gdscript - # Player.gd - extends CharacterBody2D - - signal health_changed(new_health) - signal died - - @export var max_health: int = 100 - var health: int = max_health - - func take_damage(amount: int) -> void: - health -= amount - health_changed.emit(health) - if health <= 0: - died.emit() - queue_free() - ``` - - **Record ADR:** Scene architecture and node organization - - --- - - ### 3. Resource Management - - **Ask:** - - - Use Godot Resources for data? (Custom Resource types for game data) - - Asset loading strategy? (preload vs load vs ResourceLoader) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Resources**: Like Unity ScriptableObjects, serializable data containers - - **preload()**: Load at compile time (fast, but increases binary size) - - **load()**: Load at runtime (slower, but smaller binary) - - **ResourceLoader.load_threaded_request()**: Async loading for large assets - - **Pattern:** - - ```gdscript - # EnemyData.gd - class_name EnemyData - extends Resource - - @export var enemy_name: String - @export var health: int - @export var speed: float - @export var prefab_scene: PackedScene - ``` - - **Record ADR:** Resource and asset loading strategy - - --- - - ## Godot-Specific Architecture Sections - - ### Signal-Driven Communication - - **Godot's built-in Observer pattern:** - - ```gdscript - # GameManager.gd (Autoload singleton) - extends Node - - signal game_started - signal game_paused - signal game_over(final_score: int) - - func start_game() -> void: - game_started.emit() - - func pause_game() -> void: - get_tree().paused = true - game_paused.emit() - - # In Player.gd - func _ready() -> void: - GameManager.game_started.connect(_on_game_started) - GameManager.game_over.connect(_on_game_over) - - func _on_game_started() -> void: - position = Vector2.ZERO - health = max_health - ``` - - **Benefits:** - - - Decoupled systems - - No FindNode or get_node everywhere - - Type-safe with typed signals (Godot 4) - - --- - - ### Godot Scene Architecture - - **Scene organization patterns:** - - **1. Composition Pattern:** - - ``` - Player (CharacterBody2D) - ├── Sprite2D - ├── CollisionShape2D - ├── AnimationPlayer - ├── HealthComponent (Node - custom script) - ├── InputComponent (Node - custom script) - └── WeaponMount (Node2D) - └── Weapon (instanced scene) - ``` - - **2. Scene Inheritance:** - - ``` - BaseEnemy.tscn - ├── Inherits → FlyingEnemy.tscn (adds wings, aerial movement) - └── Inherits → GroundEnemy.tscn (adds ground collision) - ``` - - **3. Autoload Singletons:** - - ``` - # In Project Settings > Autoload: - GameManager → res://scripts/managers/game_manager.gd - AudioManager → res://scripts/managers/audio_manager.gd - SaveManager → res://scripts/managers/save_manager.gd - ``` - - --- - - ### Performance Optimization - - **Godot-specific considerations:** - - - **Static Typing**: Use type hints for GDScript performance (`var health: int = 100`) - - **Object Pooling**: Implement manually or use addons - - **CanvasItem batching**: Reduce draw calls with texture atlases - - **Viewport rendering**: Offload effects to separate viewports - - **GDScript vs C#**: C# faster for heavy computation, GDScript faster for simple logic - - **Target Performance:** - - - **PC**: 60 FPS minimum - - **Mobile**: 60 FPS (high-end), 30 FPS (low-end) - - **Web**: 30-60 FPS depending on complexity - - **Profiler:** - - - Use Godot's built-in profiler (Debug > Profiler) - - Monitor FPS, draw calls, physics time - - --- - - ### Testing Strategy - - **GUT (Godot Unit Test):** - - ```gdscript - # test_player.gd - extends GutTest - - func test_player_takes_damage(): - var player = Player.new() - add_child(player) - player.health = 100 - - player.take_damage(20) - - assert_eq(player.health, 80, "Player health should decrease") - ``` - - **GoDotTest for C#:** - - ```csharp - [Test] - public void PlayerTakesDamage_DecreasesHealth() - { - var player = new Player(); - player.Health = 100; - - player.TakeDamage(20); - - Assert.That(player.Health, Is.EqualTo(80)); - } - ``` - - **Recommended Coverage:** - - - 80% minimum test coverage (from expansion pack) - - Test game systems, not rendering - - Use GUT for GDScript, GoDotTest for C# - - --- - - ### Source Tree Structure - - **Godot-specific folders:** - - ``` - project/ - ├── scenes/ # All .tscn scene files - │ ├── main_menu.tscn - │ ├── levels/ - │ │ ├── level_1.tscn - │ │ └── level_2.tscn - │ ├── player/ - │ │ └── player.tscn - │ └── enemies/ - │ ├── base_enemy.tscn - │ └── flying_enemy.tscn - ├── scripts/ # GDScript and C# files - │ ├── player/ - │ │ ├── player.gd - │ │ └── player_input.gd - │ ├── enemies/ - │ ├── managers/ - │ │ ├── game_manager.gd (Autoload) - │ │ └── audio_manager.gd (Autoload) - │ └── ui/ - ├── resources/ # Custom Resource types - │ ├── enemy_data.gd - │ └── level_data.gd - ├── assets/ - │ ├── sprites/ - │ ├── textures/ - │ ├── audio/ - │ │ ├── music/ - │ │ └── sfx/ - │ ├── fonts/ - │ └── shaders/ - ├── addons/ # Godot plugins - └── project.godot # Project settings - ``` - - --- - - ### Deployment and Build - - **Platform-specific:** - - - **PC**: Export presets for Windows, Linux, macOS - - **Mobile**: Android (APK/AAB), iOS (Xcode project) - - **Web**: HTML5 export (SharedArrayBuffer requirements) - - **Console**: Partner programs for Switch, Xbox, PlayStation - - **Export templates:** - - - Download from Godot website for each platform - - Configure export presets in Project > Export - - **Build automation:** - - - Use `godot --export` command-line for CI/CD - - Example: `godot --export-release "Windows Desktop" output/game.exe` - - --- - - ## Specialist Recommendations - - ### Audio Designer - - **When needed:** Games with music, sound effects, ambience - **Responsibilities:** - - - AudioStreamPlayer node architecture (2D vs 3D audio) - - Audio bus setup in Godot's audio mixer - - Music transitions with AudioStreamPlayer.finished signal - - Sound effect implementation - - Audio performance optimization - - ### Performance Optimizer - - **When needed:** Mobile games, large-scale games, complex 3D - **Responsibilities:** - - - Godot profiler analysis - - Static typing optimization - - Draw call reduction - - Physics optimization (collision layers/masks) - - Memory management - - C# performance optimization for heavy systems - - ### Multiplayer Architect - - **When needed:** Multiplayer/co-op games - **Responsibilities:** - - - High-level multiplayer API or ENet - - RPC architecture (remote procedure calls) - - State synchronization patterns - - Client-server vs peer-to-peer - - Anti-cheat considerations - - Latency compensation - - ### Monetization Specialist - - **When needed:** F2P, mobile games with IAP - **Responsibilities:** - - - In-app purchase integration (via plugins) - - Ad network integration - - Analytics integration - - Economy design - - Godot-specific monetization patterns - - --- - - ## Common Pitfalls - - 1. **Over-using get_node()** - Cache node references in `@onready` variables - 2. **Not using type hints** - Static typing improves GDScript performance - 3. **Deep node hierarchies** - Keep scene trees shallow for performance - 4. **Ignoring signals** - Use signals instead of polling or direct coupling - 5. **Not leveraging autoload** - Use autoload singletons for global state - 6. **Poor scene organization** - Plan scene structure before building - 7. **Forgetting to queue_free()** - Memory leaks from unreleased nodes - - --- - - ## Godot vs Unity Differences - - ### Architecture Differences: - - | Unity | Godot | Notes | - | ---------------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------- | - | GameObject + Component | Node hierarchy | Godot nodes have built-in functionality | - | MonoBehaviour | Node + Script | Attach scripts to nodes | - | ScriptableObject | Resource | Custom data containers | - | UnityEvent | Signal | Godot signals are built-in | - | Prefab | Scene (.tscn) | Scenes are reusable like prefabs | - | Singleton pattern | Autoload | Built-in singleton system | - - ### Language Differences: - - | Unity C# | GDScript | Notes | - | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- | - | `public class Player : MonoBehaviour` | `class_name Player extends CharacterBody2D` | GDScript more concise | - | `void Start()` | `func _ready():` | Initialization | - | `void Update()` | `func _process(delta):` | Per-frame update | - | `void FixedUpdate()` | `func _physics_process(delta):` | Physics update | - | `[SerializeField]` | `@export` | Inspector-visible variables | - | `GetComponent<T>()` | `get_node("NodeName")` or `$NodeName` | Node access | - - --- - - ## Key Architecture Decision Records - - ### ADR Template for Godot Projects - - **ADR-XXX: [Title]** - - **Context:** - What Godot-specific issue are we solving? - - **Options:** - - 1.

Engine and Technology Selection - - **Ask:** - - - Which engine? (Phaser 3, PixiJS, Three.js, Babylon.js, custom Canvas/WebGL) - - TypeScript or JavaScript? - - Build tool? (Vite, Webpack, Rollup, Parcel) - - Target platform(s)? (Desktop web, mobile web, PWA, Cordova/Capacitor wrapper) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Phaser 3**: Full-featured 2D game framework, great for beginners - - **PixiJS**: 2D rendering library, more low-level than Phaser - - **Three.js**: 3D graphics library, mature ecosystem - - **Babylon.js**: Complete 3D game engine, WebXR support - - **TypeScript**: Recommended for all web games (type safety, better tooling) - - **Vite**: Modern, fast, HMR - best for development - - **Record ADR:** Engine selection and build tooling - - --- - - ### 2. Architecture Pattern - - **Ask:** - - - Scene-based architecture? (Phaser scenes, custom scene manager) - - ECS (Entity Component System)? (Libraries: bitECS, ecsy) - - State management? (Redux, Zustand, custom FSM) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Scene-based**: Natural for Phaser, good for level-based games - - **ECS**: Better performance for large entity counts (100s+) - - **FSM**: Good for simple state transitions (menu → game → gameover) - - **Phaser Pattern:** - - ```typescript - // MainMenuScene.ts - export class MainMenuScene extends Phaser.Scene { - constructor() { - super({ key: 'MainMenu' }); - } - - create() { - this.add.text(400, 300, 'Main Menu', { fontSize: '32px' }); - - const startButton = this.add - .text(400, 400, 'Start Game', { fontSize: '24px' }) - .setInteractive() - .on('pointerdown', () => { - this.scene.start('GameScene'); - }); - } - } - ``` - - **Record ADR:** Architecture pattern and scene management - - --- - - ### 3. Asset Management - - **Ask:** - - - Asset loading strategy? (Preload all, lazy load, progressive) - - Texture atlas usage? (TexturePacker, built-in tools) - - Audio format strategy? (MP3, OGG, WebM) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Preload**: Load all assets at start (simple, small games) - - **Lazy load**: Load per-level (better for larger games) - - **Texture atlases**: Essential for performance (reduce draw calls) - - **Audio**: MP3 for compatibility, OGG for smaller size, use both - - **Phaser loading:** - - ```typescript - class PreloadScene extends Phaser.Scene { - preload() { - // Show progress bar - this.load.on('progress', (value: number) => { - console.log('Loading: ' + Math.round(value * 100) + '%'); - }); - - // Load assets - this.load.atlas('sprites', 'assets/sprites.png', 'assets/sprites.json'); - this.load.audio('music', ['assets/music.mp3', 'assets/music.ogg']); - this.load.audio('jump', ['assets/sfx/jump.mp3', 'assets/sfx/jump.ogg']); - } - - create() { - this.scene.start('MainMenu'); - } - } - ``` - - **Record ADR:** Asset loading and management strategy - - --- - - ## Web Game-Specific Architecture Sections - - ### Performance Optimization - - **Web-specific considerations:** - - - **Object Pooling**: Mandatory for bullets, particles, enemies (avoid GC pauses) - - **Sprite Batching**: Use texture atlases, minimize state changes - - **Canvas vs WebGL**: WebGL for better performance (most games) - - **Draw Call Reduction**: Batch similar sprites, use sprite sheets - - **Memory Management**: Watch heap size, profile with Chrome DevTools - - **Object Pooling Pattern:** - - ```typescript - class BulletPool { - private pool: Bullet[] = []; - private scene: Phaser.Scene; - - constructor(scene: Phaser.Scene, size: number) { - this.scene = scene; - for (let i = 0; i < size; i++) { - const bullet = new Bullet(scene); - bullet.setActive(false).setVisible(false); - this.pool.push(bullet); - } - } - - spawn(x: number, y: number, velocityX: number, velocityY: number): Bullet | null { - const bullet = this.pool.find((b) => !b.active); - if (bullet) { - bullet.spawn(x, y, velocityX, velocityY); - } - return bullet || null; - } - } - ``` - - **Target Performance:** - - - **Desktop**: 60 FPS minimum - - **Mobile**: 60 FPS (high-end), 30 FPS (low-end) - - **Profile with**: Chrome DevTools Performance tab, Phaser Debug plugin - - --- - - ### Input Handling - - **Multi-input support:** - - ```typescript - class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene { - private cursors?: Phaser.Types.Input.Keyboard.CursorKeys; - private wasd?: { [key: string]: Phaser.Input.Keyboard.Key }; - - create() { - // Keyboard - this.cursors = this.input.keyboard?.createCursorKeys(); - this.wasd = this.input.keyboard?.addKeys('W,S,A,D') as any; - - // Mouse/Touch - this.input.on('pointerdown', (pointer: Phaser.Input.Pointer) => { - this.handleClick(pointer.x, pointer.y); - }); - - // Gamepad (optional) - this.input.gamepad?.on('down', (pad, button, index) => { - this.handleGamepadButton(button); - }); - } - - update() { - // Handle keyboard input - if (this.cursors?.left.isDown || this.wasd?.A.isDown) { - this.player.moveLeft(); - } - } - } - ``` - - --- - - ### State Persistence - - **LocalStorage pattern:** - - ```typescript - interface GameSaveData { - level: number; - score: number; - playerStats: { - health: number; - lives: number; - }; - } - - class SaveManager { - private static SAVE_KEY = 'game_save_data'; - - static save(data: GameSaveData): void { - localStorage.setItem(this.SAVE_KEY, JSON.stringify(data)); - } - - static load(): GameSaveData | null { - const data = localStorage.getItem(this.SAVE_KEY); - return data ? JSON.parse(data) : null; - } - - static clear(): void { - localStorage.removeItem(this.SAVE_KEY); - } - } - ``` - - --- - - ### Source Tree Structure - - **Phaser + TypeScript + Vite:** - - ``` - project/ - ├── public/ # Static assets - │ ├── assets/ - │ │ ├── sprites/ - │ │ ├── audio/ - │ │ │ ├── music/ - │ │ │ └── sfx/ - │ │ └── fonts/ - │ └── index.html - ├── src/ - │ ├── main.ts # Game initialization - │ ├── config.ts # Phaser config - │ ├── scenes/ # Game scenes - │ │ ├── PreloadScene.ts - │ │ ├── MainMenuScene.ts - │ │ ├── GameScene.ts - │ │ └── GameOverScene.ts - │ ├── entities/ # Game objects - │ │ ├── Player.ts - │ │ ├── Enemy.ts - │ │ └── Bullet.ts - │ ├── systems/ # Game systems - │ │ ├── InputManager.ts - │ │ ├── AudioManager.ts - │ │ └── SaveManager.ts - │ ├── utils/ # Utilities - │ │ ├── ObjectPool.ts - │ │ └── Constants.ts - │ └── types/ # TypeScript types - │ └── index.d.ts - ├── tests/ # Unit tests - ├── package.json - ├── tsconfig.json - ├── vite.config.ts - └── README.md - ``` - - --- - - ### Testing Strategy - - **Jest + TypeScript:** - - ```typescript - // Player.test.ts - import { Player } from '../entities/Player'; - - describe('Player', () => { - let player: Player; - - beforeEach(() => { - // Mock Phaser scene - const mockScene = { - add: { sprite: jest.fn() }, - physics: { add: { sprite: jest.fn() } }, - } as any;

Godot Version and Language Strategy - - **Ask:** - - - Which Godot version? (3.x, 4.x) - - Language preference? (GDScript only, C# only, or Mixed GDScript+C#) - - Target platform(s)? (PC, Mobile, Web, Console) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Godot 4.x**: Modern, Vulkan renderer, better 3D, C# improving - - **Godot 3.x**: Stable, mature ecosystem, OpenGL - - **GDScript**: Python-like, fast iteration, integrated with editor - - **C#**: Better performance for complex systems, familiar to Unity devs - - **Mixed**: GDScript for game logic, C# for performance-critical (physics, AI) - - **Record ADR:** Godot version and language strategy - - --- - - ### 2. Node-Based Architecture - - **Ask:** - - - Scene composition strategy? (Nested scenes, scene inheritance, or flat hierarchy) - - Node organization patterns? (By feature, by type, or hybrid) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Scenes as Prefabs**: Each reusable entity is a scene (Player.tscn, Enemy.tscn) - - **Scene Inheritance**: Extend base scenes for variations (BaseEnemy → FlyingEnemy) - - **Node Signals**: Use built-in signal system for decoupled communication - - **Autoload Singletons**: For global managers (GameManager, AudioManager) - - **Godot Pattern:** - - ```gdscript - # Player.gd - extends CharacterBody2D - - signal health_changed(new_health) - signal died - - @export var max_health: int = 100 - var health: int = max_health - - func take_damage(amount: int) -> void: - health -= amount - health_changed.emit(health) - if health <= 0: - died.emit() - queue_free() - ``` - - **Record ADR:** Scene architecture and node organization - - --- - - ### 3. Resource Management - - **Ask:** - - - Use Godot Resources for data? (Custom Resource types for game data) - - Asset loading strategy? (preload vs load vs ResourceLoader) - - **Guidance:** - - - **Resources**: Like Unity ScriptableObjects, serializable data containers - - **preload()**: Load at compile time (fast, but increases binary size) - - **load()**: Load at runtime (slower, but smaller binary) - - **ResourceLoader.load_threaded_request()**: Async loading for large assets - - **Pattern:** - - ```gdscript - # EnemyData.gd - class_name EnemyData - extends Resource - - @export var enemy_name: String - @export var health: int - @export var speed: float - @export var prefab_scene: PackedScene - ``` - - **Record ADR:** Resource and asset loading strategy - - --- - - ## Godot-Specific Architecture Sections - - ### Signal-Driven Communication - - **Godot's built-in Observer pattern:** - - ```gdscript - # GameManager.gd (Autoload singleton) - extends Node - - signal game_started - signal game_paused - signal game_over(final_score: int) - - func start_game() -> void: - game_started.emit() - - func pause_game() -> void: - get_tree().paused = true - game_paused.emit() - - # In Player.gd - func _ready() -> void: - GameManager.game_started.connect(_on_game_started) - GameManager.game_over.connect(_on_game_over) - - func _on_game_started() -> void: - position = Vector2.ZERO - health = max_health - ``` - - **Benefits:** - - - Decoupled systems - - No FindNode or get_node everywhere - - Type-safe with typed signals (Godot 4) - - --- - - ### Godot Scene Architecture - - **Scene organization patterns:** - - **1.

Scene Inheritance:** - - ``` - BaseEnemy.tscn - ├── Inherits → FlyingEnemy.tscn (adds wings, aerial movement) - └── Inherits → GroundEnemy.tscn (adds ground collision) - ``` - - **3. Autoload Singletons:** - - ``` - # In Project Settings > Autoload: - GameManager → res://scripts/managers/game_manager.gd - AudioManager → res://scripts/managers/audio_manager.gd - SaveManager → res://scripts/managers/save_manager.gd - ``` - - --- - - ### Performance Optimization - - **Godot-specific considerations:** - - - **Static Typing**: Use type hints for GDScript performance (`var health: int = 100`) - - **Object Pooling**: Implement manually or use addons - - **CanvasItem batching**: Reduce draw calls with texture atlases - - **Viewport rendering**: Offload effects to separate viewports - - **GDScript vs C#**: C# faster for heavy computation, GDScript faster for simple logic - - **Target Performance:** - - - **PC**: 60 FPS minimum - - **Mobile**: 60 FPS (high-end), 30 FPS (low-end) - - **Web**: 30-60 FPS depending on complexity - - **Profiler:** - - - Use Godot's built-in profiler (Debug > Profiler) - - Monitor FPS, draw calls, physics time - - --- - - ### Testing Strategy - - **GUT (Godot Unit Test):** - - ```gdscript - # test_player.gd - extends GutTest - - func test_player_takes_damage(): - var player = Player.new() - add_child(player) - player.health = 100 - - player.take_damage(20) - - assert_eq(player.health, 80, "Player health should decrease") - ``` - - **GoDotTest for C#:** - - ```csharp - [Test] - public void PlayerTakesDamage_DecreasesHealth() - { - var player = new Player(); - player.Health = 100; - - player.TakeDamage(20); - - Assert.That(player.Health, Is.EqualTo(80)); - } - ``` - - **Recommended Coverage:** - - - 80% minimum test coverage (from expansion pack) - - Test game systems, not rendering - - Use GUT for GDScript, GoDotTest for C# - - --- - - ### Source Tree Structure - - **Godot-specific folders:** - - ``` - project/ - ├── scenes/ # All .tscn scene files - │ ├── main_menu.tscn - │ ├── levels/ - │ │ ├── level_1.tscn - │ │ └── level_2.tscn - │ ├── player/ - │ │ └── player.tscn - │ └── enemies/ - │ ├── base_enemy.tscn - │ └── flying_enemy.tscn - ├── scripts/ # GDScript and C# files - │ ├── player/ - │ │ ├── player.gd - │ │ └── player_input.gd - │ ├── enemies/ - │ ├── managers/ - │ │ ├── game_manager.gd (Autoload) - │ │ └── audio_manager.gd (Autoload) - │ └── ui/ - ├── resources/ # Custom Resource types - │ ├── enemy_data.gd - │ └── level_data.gd - ├── assets/ - │ ├── sprites/ - │ ├── textures/ - │ ├── audio/ - │ │ ├── music/ - │ │ └── sfx/ - │ ├── fonts/ - │ └── shaders/ - ├── addons/ # Godot plugins - └── project.godot # Project settings - ``` - - --- - - ### Deployment and Build - - **Platform-specific:** - - - **PC**: Export presets for Windows, Linux, macOS - - **Mobile**: Android (APK/AAB), iOS (Xcode project) - - **Web**: HTML5 export (SharedArrayBuffer requirements) - - **Console**: Partner programs for Switch, Xbox, PlayStation - - **Export templates:** - - - Download from Godot website for each platform - - Configure export presets in Project > Export - - **Build automation:** - - - Use `godot --export` command-line for CI/CD - - Example: `godot --export-release "Windows Desktop" output/game.exe` - - --- - - ## Specialist Recommendations - - ### Audio Designer - - **When needed:** Games with music, sound effects, ambience - **Responsibilities:** - - - AudioStreamPlayer node architecture (2D vs 3D audio) - - Audio bus setup in Godot's audio mixer - - Music transitions with AudioStreamPlayer.finished signal - - Sound effect implementation - - Audio performance optimization - - ### Performance Optimizer - - **When needed:** Mobile games, large-scale games, complex 3D - **Responsibilities:** - - - Godot profiler analysis - - Static typing optimization - - Draw call reduction - - Physics optimization (collision layers/masks) - - Memory management - - C# performance optimization for heavy systems - - ### Multiplayer Architect - - **When needed:** Multiplayer/co-op games - **Responsibilities:** - - - High-level multiplayer API or ENet - - RPC architecture (remote procedure calls) - - State synchronization patterns - - Client-server vs peer-to-peer - - Anti-cheat considerations - - Latency compensation - - ### Monetization Specialist - - **When needed:** F2P, mobile games with IAP - **Responsibilities:** - - - In-app purchase integration (via plugins) - - Ad network integration - - Analytics integration - - Economy design - - Godot-specific monetization patterns - - --- - - ## Common Pitfalls - - 1. **Over-using get_node()** - Cache node references in `@onready` variables - 2. **Not using type hints** - Static typing improves GDScript performance - 3. **Deep node hierarchies** - Keep scene trees shallow for performance - 4. **Ignoring signals** - Use signals instead of polling or direct coupling - 5. **Not leveraging autoload** - Use autoload singletons for global state - 6. **Poor scene organization** - Plan scene structure before building - 7. **Forgetting to queue_free()** - Memory leaks from unreleased nodes - - --- - - ## Godot vs Unity Differences - - ### Architecture Differences: - - | Unity | Godot | Notes | - | ---------------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------- | - | GameObject + Component | Node hierarchy | Godot nodes have built-in functionality | - | MonoBehaviour | Node + Script | Attach scripts to nodes | - | ScriptableObject | Resource | Custom data containers | - | UnityEvent | Signal | Godot signals are built-in | - | Prefab | Scene (.tscn) | Scenes are reusable like prefabs | - | Singleton pattern | Autoload | Built-in singleton system | - - ### Language Differences: - - | Unity C# | GDScript | Notes | - | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- | - | `public class Player : MonoBehaviour` | `class_name Player extends CharacterBody2D` | GDScript more concise | - | `void Start()` | `func _ready():` | Initialization | - | `void Update()` | `func _process(delta):` | Per-frame update | - | `void FixedUpdate()` | `func _physics_process(delta):` | Physics update | - | `[SerializeField]` | `@export` | Inspector-visible variables | - | `GetComponent<T>()` | `get_node("NodeName")` or `$NodeName` | Node access | - - --- - - ## Key Architecture Decision Records - - ### ADR Template for Godot Projects - - **ADR-XXX: [Title]** - - **Context:** - What Godot-specific issue are we solving? - - **Options:** - - 1.

- **Status:** Not created OR Draft (needs review) - - **Action:** SM should run `create-story` workflow to draft this story - - **Instructions:** - - - Only ONE story in TODO at a time - - Story stays in TODO until user marks it "ready for development" - - SM reads this section to know which story to draft next - - After SM creates/updates story, user reviews and approves via `story-ready` workflow - - #### IN PROGRESS (Approved for Development) - - - **Story ID:** {{current_story_id}} - - **Story Title:** {{current_story_title}} - - **Story File:** `{{current_story_file}}` - - **Story Status:** Ready | In Review - - **Context File:** `{{current_story_context_file}}` - - **Action:** DEV should run `dev-story` workflow to implement this story - - **Instructions:** - - - Only ONE story in IN PROGRESS at a time - - Story stays here until user marks it "approved" (DoD complete) -

{{/epics}} - - #### State Transition Logic - - **Story Lifecycle:** - - ``` - BACKLOG → TODO → IN PROGRESS → DONE - ``` - - **Transition Rules:** - - 1. **BACKLOG → TODO**: Automatically when previous story moves TODO → IN PROGRESS - 2. **TODO → IN PROGRESS**: User runs SM agent `story-ready` workflow after reviewing drafted story - 3. **IN PROGRESS → DONE**: User runs DEV agent `story-approved` workflow after DoD complete - - **Important:** - - - SM agent NEVER searches for "next story" - always reads TODO section - - DEV agent NEVER searches for "current story" - always reads IN PROGRESS section - - Both agents update this status file after their workflows complete -

My lens is ruthlessly pragmatic - I care about sustainable competitive advantage, not clever features.

Punctuates breakthroughs with enthusiastic 'Aha!' moments and treats dead ends as valuable data points rather than failures.</communication_style> - <principles>I believe every problem is a system revealing its weaknesses, and systematic exploration beats lucky guesses every time. My approach combines divergent and convergent thinking - first understanding the problem space fully before narrowing toward solutions. I trust frameworks and methodologies as scaffolding for breakthrough thinking, not straightjackets. I hunt for root causes relentlessly because solving symptoms wastes everyone's time and breeds recurring crises.
