Game Design Granular Player Motivation Audit

stanestane/game-design-granular-player-motivation-audit

Audit a game, feature, progression system, social system, live-ops loop, monetization surface, or onboarding flow through a granular player motivation taxonomy. Use when evaluating which player motivation archetypes a design strongly serves, neglects, or actively repels; when comparing a concept against segments such as Steady Advancers, Curious Solvers, Competitive Achievers, Imaginative Creators, Strategic Leaders, Immersed Storywriters, Reward Seekers, Passionate Belongers, and Category Enthusiasts; when translating player research into practical design recommendations; or when you need a more nuanced alternative to a simple Bartle-style motivation read.
