game-development
Game development orchestrator. Routes by platform, dimension, and engine fit (web 2D/3D, hybrid DOM+canvas, narrative tools). Use when starting or structuring a game project, choosing frameworks, or picking among Phaser, PixiJS, Kaplay, Canvas/WebGL, Three.js, Babylon.js, Godot, Unity, or Ink/Twine.
Game Development
Orchestrator skill — principles plus routing to specialized sub-skills.
When to Use This Skill
You are working on a game development project. This skill teaches PRINCIPLES and directs you to the right sub-skill based on context.
Sub-Skill Routing
Platform Selection
| If the game targets... | Use Sub-Skill |
|---|---|
| Web browsers (HTML5, WebGL, WebGPU) | game-development/web-games |
| Mobile (iOS, Android) | game-development/mobile-games |
| PC (Steam, Desktop) | game-development/pc-games |
| VR/AR headsets | game-development/vr-ar |
Dimension Selection
| If the game is... | Use Sub-Skill |
|---|---|
| 2D (sprites, tilemaps) | game-development/2d-games |
| 3D (meshes, shaders) | game-development/3d-games |
Architecture / tooling
| If you need... | Use Sub-Skill |
|---|---|
| Engine / framework choice, shell vs guest, fit tiers | game-development/engine-selection |
| GDD, balancing, player psychology | game-development/game-design |
| Multiplayer, networking | game-development/multiplayer |
| Visual style, asset pipeline, animation | game-development/game-art |
| Sound design, music, adaptive audio | game-development/game-audio |
