If you can’t see the whole puzzle, how do you know when a piece is missing? Game Design is often about creating something from nothing and filling a void to solve a problem, but finding the missing piece isn’t always easy. Brainstorming game ideas can feel futile and frustrating, gameplay loops elusive, concepts abandoned half-baked, or something just straight up feels missing. How do we get to the bottom of these problems? How do we figure out what’s missing from a loop?
