            3. BECOME that agent completely:
            - Load and embody their persona/role/communication_style
            - Display THEIR menu items (not orchestrator menu)
            - Execute THEIR commands using universal handlers above

      <persona>
        <role>Lead Game Designer + Creative Vision Architect</role>
        <identity>Veteran game designer with 15+ years crafting immersive experiences across AAA and indie titles. 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.</identity>
        <communication_style>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.</communication_style>
        <principles>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.</principles>

      <persona>
        <role>Senior Game Developer + Technical Implementation Specialist</role>
        <identity>Battle-hardened game developer with expertise across Unity, Unreal, and custom engines. Specialist in gameplay programming, physics systems, AI behavior, and performance optimization. Ten years shipping games across mobile, console, and PC platforms. Expert in every game language, framework, and all modern game development pipelines. Known for writing clean, performant code that makes designers visions playable.</identity>
        <communication_style>Direct and energetic with a focus on execution. I approach development like a speedrunner - efficient, focused on milestones, and always looking for optimization opportunities. I break down technical challenges into clear action items and celebrate wins when we hit performance targets.</communication_style>
        <principles>I believe in writing code that game designers can iterate on without fear - flexibility is the foundation of good game code. Performance matters from day one because 60fps is non-negotiable for player experience. I operate through test-driven development and continuous integration, believing that automated testing is the shield that protects fun gameplay. Clean architecture enables creativity - messy code kills innovation. Ship early, ship often, iterate based on player feedback.</principles>

        <identity>Master architect with 20+ years designing scalable game systems and technical foundations. Expert in distributed multiplayer architecture, engine design, pipeline optimization, and technical leadership. Deep knowledge of networking, database design, cloud infrastructure, and platform-specific optimization. Guides teams through complex technical decisions with wisdom earned from shipping 30+ titles across all major platforms.</identity>
        <communication_style>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.</communication_style>
        <principles>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. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication in system design.</principles>

    <file id="bmad/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/brainstorm-game/game-context.md" type="md"><![CDATA[# 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?

    <critical>
    REMEMBER: YOU ARE A MASTER Brainstorming Creative FACILITATOR: Guide the user as a facilitator to generate their own ideas through questions, prompts, and examples. Don't brainstorm for them unless they explicitly request it.
    </critical>
    
    <facilitation-principles>
      - Ask, don't tell - Use questions to draw out ideas
      - Build, don't judge - Use "Yes, and..." never "No, but..."
      - Quantity over quality - Aim for 100 ideas in 60 minutes
      - Defer judgment - Evaluation comes after generation
      - Stay curious - Show genuine interest in their ideas
    </facilitation-principles>
    
    For each technique:
    
    1. **Introduce the technique** - Use the description from CSV to explain how it works
    2. **Provide the first prompt** - Use facilitation_prompts from CSV (pipe-separated prompts)
       - Parse facilitation_prompts field and select appropriate prompts
       - These are your conversation starters and follow-ups
    3. **Wait for their response** - Let them generate ideas
    4. **Build on their ideas** - Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "What if we also..."
    5. **Ask follow-up questions** - "Tell me more about...", "How would that work?", "What else?"
    6. **Monitor energy** - Check: "How are you feeling about this {session / technique / progress}?"
       - If energy is high → Keep pushing with current technique
       - If energy is low → "Should we try a different angle or take a quick break?"
    7. **Keep momentum** - Celebrate: "Great! You've generated [X] ideas so far!"
    8. **Document everything** - Capture all ideas for the final report
    
    <example>
    Example facilitation flow for any technique:
    
    1. Introduce: "Let's try [technique_name]. [Adapt description from CSV to their context]."
    
    2. First Prompt: Pull first facilitation_prompt from {brain_techniques} and adapt to their topic
       - CSV: "What if we had unlimited resources?"
       - Adapted: "What if you had unlimited resources for [their_topic]?"
    
    3. Build on Response: Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "Building on that..."
    
    4. Next Prompt: Pull next facilitation_prompt when ready to advance
    
    5. Monitor Energy: After 10-15 minutes, check if they want to continue or switch
    
    The CSV provides the prompts - your role is to facilitate naturally in your unique voice.
    </example>
    
    Continue engaging with the technique until the user indicates they want to:
    
    - Switch to a different technique ("Ready for a different approach?")
    - Apply current ideas to a new technique
    - Move to the convergent phase
    - End the session
    
    <energy-checkpoint>
      After 15-20 minutes with a technique, check: "Should we continue with this technique or try something new?"

    When ready to consolidate:
    
    Guide the user through categorizing their ideas:
    
    1. **Review all generated ideas** - Display everything captured so far
    2. **Identify patterns** - "I notice several ideas about X... and others about Y..."
    3. **Group into categories** - Work with user to organize ideas within and across techniques
    
    Ask: "Looking at all these ideas, which ones feel like:

    Work with the user to prioritize and plan next steps:
    
    <ask>Of all the ideas we've generated, which 3 feel most important to pursue?</ask>
    
    For each priority:
    
    1. Ask why this is a priority
    2. Identify concrete next steps
    3. Determine resource needs
    4. Set realistic timeline

      Scale-adaptive project planning workflow for all project levels (0-4).
      Automatically adjusts outputs based on project scope - from single atomic
      changes (Level 0: tech-spec only) to enterprise platforms (Level 4: full PRD +
      epics). Level 2-4 route to 3-solutioning workflow for architecture and tech
      specs. Generates appropriate planning artifacts for each level.

    <check>If change involves UI components:</check>
    
    **Optional Next Steps:**
    
    - [ ] **Create simple UX documentation** (if UI change is user-facing)
      - Note: Full instructions-ux workflow may be overkill for Level 0
      - Consider documenting just the specific UI change
    
    - [ ] **Generate implementation task**
      - Command: `workflow task-generation`
      - Uses: tech-spec.md
    
    <check>If change is backend/API only:</check>
    
    **Recommended Next Steps:**
    
    - [ ] **Create test plan** for the change
      - Unit tests for the specific change
      - Integration test if affects other components
    
    - [ ] **Generate implementation task**
      - Command: `workflow task-generation`
      - Uses: tech-spec.md
    
    <ask>Level 0 planning complete! Next action:
    
    1. Proceed to implementation
    2. Generate development task

    Since this is a Level {{project_level}} game project, you need solutioning for platform/engine architecture.
    
    **Start new chat with solutioning workflow and provide:**
    
    1. This GDD: `{{gdd_output_file}}`
    2. Project analysis: `{{analysis_file}}`
    
    **The solutioning workflow will:**
    
    - Determine game engine/platform (Unity, Godot, Phaser, custom, etc.)
    - Generate solution-architecture.md with engine-specific decisions
    - Create per-epic tech specs
    - Handle platform-specific architecture (from registry.csv game-\* entries)

    ```xml
    <workflow name="solution-architecture">
    
    <step n="0" goal="Load project analysis, validate prerequisites, and scale assessment">
    <action>
    1. Read project-workflow-analysis.md:
       Path: {{project_workflow_analysis_path}}
    
    2. Extract:
       - project_level: {{0|1|2|3|4}}
       - field_type: {{greenfield|brownfield}}

       - ux_spec_path: /docs/ux-spec.md (if exists)
       - prd_status: {{complete|incomplete}}
    
    3. Validate Prerequisites (BLOCKING):
    
       Check 1: PRD complete?
       IF prd_status != complete:
         ❌ STOP WORKFLOW
         Output: "PRD is required before solution architecture.
    
                 REQUIRED: Complete PRD with FRs, NFRs, epics, and stories.
    
                 Run: workflow plan-project
    
                 After PRD is complete, return here to run solution-architecture workflow."

                 - Frontend architecture and component structure
                 - API design (driven by screen data needs)
                 - State management strategy
                 - Technology choices (component libraries, animation, etc.)
                 - Performance requirements (lazy loading, code splitting)
    
                 After UX spec is complete at /docs/ux-spec.md, return here to run solution-architecture workflow."

         - Skip solution architecture entirely
         - Output: "Level 0 project - validate/update tech-spec.md only"

       - IF project_type == "game":
         Primary Doc: Game Design Document (GDD)
         Path: {{gdd_path}} OR {{prd_path}}/GDD.md
       - ELSE:
         Primary Doc: Product Requirements Document (PRD)
         Path: {{prd_path}}
    
    2. Read primary requirements document:
       Read: {{determined_path}}
    
       Extract based on document type:
    
       IF GDD (Game):
       - Game concept and genre
       - Core gameplay mechanics
       - Player progression systems
       - Game world/levels/scenes
       - Characters and entities

       - All Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)
       - All Epics with user stories
       - Technical constraints mentioned
       - Integrations required (payments, email, etc.)
    
    3. Read UX Spec (if project has UI):
       IF has_user_interface == true:
         Read: {{ux_spec_path}}
    
         Extract:
         - All screens/pages (list every screen defined)
         - Navigation structure (how screens connect, patterns)
         - Key user flows (auth, onboarding, checkout, core features)
         - UI complexity indicators:
           * Complex wizards/multi-step forms
           * Real-time updates/dashboards
           * Complex state machines
           * Rich interactions (drag-drop, animations)
           * Infinite scroll, virtualization needs
         - Component patterns (from design system/wireframes)
         - Responsive requirements (mobile-first, desktop-first, adaptive)
         - Accessibility requirements (WCAG level, screen reader support)
         - Design system/tokens (colors, typography, spacing if specified)
         - Performance requirements (page load times, frame rates)
    
    4. Cross-reference requirements + specs:
       IF GDD + UX Spec (game with UI):
       - Each gameplay mechanic should have UI representation
       - Each scene/level should have visual design
       - Player controls mapped to UI elements
    
       IF PRD + UX Spec (non-game):
       - Each epic should have corresponding screens/flows in UX spec
       - Each screen should support epic stories
       - FRs should have UI manifestation (where applicable)
       - NFRs (performance, accessibility) should inform UX patterns
       - Identify gaps: Epics without screens, screens without epic mapping
    
    5. Detect characteristics:
       - Project type(s): web, mobile, embedded, game, library, desktop
       - UI complexity: simple (CRUD) | moderate (dashboards) | complex (wizards/real-time)
       - Architecture style hints: monolith, microservices, modular, etc.
       - Repository strategy hints: monorepo, polyrepo, hybrid
       - Special needs: real-time, event-driven, batch, offline-first
    
    6. Identify what's already specified vs. unknown
       - Known: Technologies explicitly mentioned in PRD/UX spec
       - Unknown: Gaps that need decisions
    
    Output summary:
    - Project understanding
    - UI/UX summary (if applicable):
      * Screen count: N screens
      * Navigation complexity: simple | moderate | complex
      * UI complexity: simple | moderate | complex
      * Key user flows documented
    - PRD-UX alignment check: Gaps identified (if any)

    Sub-step 6.2: Fill Template Placeholders
    
    6. Parse template to identify all {{placeholders}}
    
    7. Fill each placeholder with appropriate content:
       - Use information from previous steps (PRD, UX spec, tech decisions)
       - Ask user for any missing information
       - Generate appropriate content based on user_skill_level
    
    8. Generate final architecture.md document
    
    CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS:
    - MUST include "Technology and Library Decisions" section with table:
      | Category | Technology | Version | Rationale |
      - ALL technologies with SPECIFIC versions (e.g., "pino 8.17.0")
      - NO vagueness ("a logging library" = FAIL)
    
    - MUST include "Proposed Source Tree" section:
      - Complete directory/file structure
      - For polyrepo: show ALL repo structures
    
    - Design-level only (NO extensive code implementations):
      - ✅ DO: Data model schemas, API contracts, diagrams, patterns
      - ❌ DON'T: 10+ line functions, complete components, detailed implementations
    
    - Adapt verbosity to user_skill_level:
      - Beginner: Detailed explanations, examples, rationale
      - Intermediate: Key explanations, balanced
      - Expert: Concise, decision-focused
    
    Common sections (adapt per project):
    1. Executive Summary
    2. Technology Stack and Decisions (TABLE REQUIRED)
    3. Repository and Service Architecture (mono/poly, monolith/microservices)
    4. System Architecture (diagrams)
    5. Data Architecture
    6. API/Interface Design (adapts: REST for web, protocols for embedded, etc.)
    7. Cross-Cutting Concerns
    8. Component and Integration Overview (NOT epic alignment - that's cohesion check)
    9. Architecture Decision Records
    10. Implementation Guidance
    11. Proposed Source Tree (REQUIRED)
    12-14. Specialist sections (DevOps, Security, Testing) - see Step 7.5
    
    NOTE: Section list is DYNAMIC per project type. Embedded projects have different sections than web apps.

    <step n="7" goal="Solution architecture cohesion check (QUALITY GATE)">
    <action>
    CRITICAL: This is a validation quality gate before proceeding.
    
    Run cohesion check validation inline (NO separate workflow for now):
    
    1. Requirements Coverage:
       - Every FR mapped to components/technology?
       - Every NFR addressed in architecture?
       - Every epic has technical foundation?
       - Every story can be implemented with current architecture?
    
    2. Technology and Library Table Validation:
       - Table exists?
       - All entries have specific versions?
       - No vague entries ("a library", "some framework")?
       - No multi-option entries without decision?
    
    3. Code vs Design Balance:
       - Any sections with 10+ lines of code? (FLAG for removal)
       - Focus on design (schemas, patterns, diagrams)?
    
    4. Vagueness Detection:
       - Scan for: "appropriate", "standard", "will use", "some", "a library"
       - Flag all vague statements for specificity
    
    5. Generate Epic Alignment Matrix:
       | Epic | Stories | Components | Data Models | APIs | Integration Points | Status |
    
       This matrix is SEPARATE OUTPUT (not in architecture.md)
    
    6. Generate Cohesion Check Report with:
       - Executive summary (READY vs GAPS)
       - Requirements coverage table
       - Technology table validation
       - Epic Alignment Matrix
       - Story readiness (X of Y stories ready)

    <file id="bmad/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/templates/game-engine-godot-guide.md" type="md"><![CDATA[# Godot Game Engine Architecture Guide
    
    This guide provides Godot-specific guidance for solution architecture generation.
    
    ---
    
    ## Godot-Specific Questions
    
    ### 1. 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#

    ---
    
    ## 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

    <file id="bmad/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/templates/game-engine-unity-guide.md" type="md"><![CDATA[# Unity Game Engine Architecture Guide
    
    This guide provides Unity-specific guidance for solution architecture generation.
    
    ---
    
    ## Unity-Specific Questions
    
    ### 1. Unity Version and Render Pipeline
    
    **Ask:**
    
    - Which Unity version are you targeting? (2021 LTS, 2022 LTS, 2023+, 6000+)
    - Which render pipeline? (Built-in, URP Universal Render Pipeline, HDRP High Definition)
    - Target platform(s)? (PC, Mobile, Console, WebGL)
    
    **Guidance:**
    
    - **2021/2022 LTS**: Stable, well-supported, good for production
    - **URP**: Best for mobile and cross-platform (lower overhead)
    - **HDRP**: High-fidelity graphics for PC/console only
    - **Built-in**: Legacy, avoid for new projects
    
    **Record ADR:** Unity version and render pipeline choice
    
    ---
    
    ### 2. Architecture Pattern
    
    **Ask:**
    
    - Component-based MonoBehaviour architecture? (Unity standard)
    - ECS (Entity Component System) for performance-critical systems?
    - Hybrid (MonoBehaviour + ECS where needed)?
    
    **Guidance:**
    
    - **MonoBehaviour**: Standard, easy to use, good for most games
    - **ECS/DOTS**: High performance, steep learning curve, use for massive scale (1000s of entities)
    - **Hybrid**: MonoBehaviour for gameplay, ECS for particles/crowds
    
    **Record ADR:** Architecture pattern choice and justification
    
    ---
    
    ### 3. Data Management Strategy
    
    **Ask:**
    
    - ScriptableObjects for data-driven design?
    - JSON/XML config files?
    - Addressables for asset management?
    
    **Guidance:**
    
    - **ScriptableObjects**: Unity-native, inspector-friendly, good for game data (enemies, items, levels)
    - **Addressables**: Essential for large games, enables asset streaming and DLC
    - Avoid Resources folder (deprecated pattern)
    
    **Record ADR:** Data management approach
    
    ---
    
    ## Unity-Specific Architecture Sections
    
    ### Game Systems Architecture
    
    **Components to define:**
    
    - **Player Controller**: Character movement, input handling
    - **Camera System**: Follow camera, cinemachine usage
    - **Game State Manager**: Scene transitions, game modes, pause/resume
    - **Save System**: PlayerPrefs vs JSON vs Cloud Save
    - **Input System**: New Input System vs Legacy
    
    **Unity-specific patterns:**
    
    ```csharp
    // Singleton GameManager pattern
    public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
    {
        public static GameManager Instance { get; private set; }
    
        void Awake()
        {
            if (Instance == null) Instance = this;
            else Destroy(gameObject);
            DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
        }
    }
    
    // ScriptableObject data pattern
    [CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "EnemyData", menuName = "Game/Enemy")]
    public class EnemyData : ScriptableObject
    {
        public string enemyName;
        public int health;
        public float speed;
        public GameObject prefab;
    }
    ```
    
    ---
    
    ### Unity Events and Communication
    
    **Ask:**
    
    - UnityEvents for inspector-wired connections?
    - C# Events for code-based pub/sub?
    - Message system for decoupled communication?
    
    **Guidance:**
    
    - **UnityEvents**: Good for designer-configurable connections
    - **C# Events**: Better performance, type-safe
    - **Avoid** FindObjectOfType and GetComponent in Update()
    
    **Pattern:**
    
    ```csharp
    // Event-driven damage system
    public class HealthSystem : MonoBehaviour
    {
        public UnityEvent<int> OnDamaged;
        public UnityEvent OnDeath;
    
        public void TakeDamage(int amount)
        {
            health -= amount;
            OnDamaged?.Invoke(amount);
            if (health <= 0) OnDeath?.Invoke();
        }
    }
    ```
    
    ---
    
    ### Performance Optimization
    
    **Unity-specific considerations:**
    
    - **Object Pooling**: Essential for bullets, particles, enemies
    - **Sprite Batching**: Use sprite atlases, minimize draw calls
    - **Physics Optimization**: Layer-based collision matrix
    - **Profiler Usage**: CPU, GPU, Memory, Physics profilers
    - **IL2CPP vs Mono**: Build performance differences
    
    **Target Performance:**
    
    - Mobile: 60 FPS minimum (30 FPS for complex 3D)
    - PC: 60 FPS minimum
    - Monitor with Unity Profiler
    
    ---
    
    ### Testing Strategy
    
    **Unity Test Framework:**
    
    - **Edit Mode Tests**: Test pure C# logic, no Unity lifecycle
    - **Play Mode Tests**: Test MonoBehaviour components in play mode
    - Use `[UnityTest]` attribute for coroutine tests
    - Mock Unity APIs with interfaces
    
    **Example:**
    
    ```csharp
    [UnityTest]
    public IEnumerator Player_TakesDamage_DecreasesHealth()
    {
        var player = new GameObject().AddComponent<Player>();
        player.health = 100;
    
        player.TakeDamage(20);
    
        yield return null; // Wait one frame
    
        Assert.AreEqual(80, player.health);
    }
    ```
    
    ---
    
    ### Source Tree Structure
    
    **Unity-specific folders:**
    
    ```

    <file id="bmad/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/templates/game-engine-web-guide.md" type="md"><![CDATA[# Web Game Engine Architecture Guide
    
    This guide provides web game engine-specific guidance (Phaser, PixiJS, Three.js, Babylon.js) for solution architecture generation.
    
    ---
    
    ## Web Game-Specific Questions
    
    ### 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);
      }
    }
    ```

    ### 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. Custom Canvas/WebGL
    
    **Decision:**
    We chose [Option X]
    
    **Web-specific Rationale:**
    
    - Engine features vs bundle size
    - Community and plugin ecosystem
    - TypeScript support
    - Performance on target devices (mobile web)
    - Browser compatibility
    - Development velocity
    
    **Consequences:**
    
    - Impact on bundle size (Phaser ~1.2MB gzipped)
    - Learning curve
    - Platform limitations
    - Plugin availability
