game-feel-design

game-feel-design is a skill for Claude Code from MRCalderon3D/everything-game-dev-code. It costs 32 tokens per session (466 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A game design guide for making player actions feel clear and responsive through timing, animation, camera movement, sound, visual effects, and haptics.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for specifying feedback for core actions, setting response-time targets, and defining adjustable settings such as screen shake and flashes.
Why use it?
It helps fix actions that feel slow or unclear while keeping added effects from hurting readability or accessibility.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

game-feel-design scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Game Feel Design

Purpose

Design moment-to-moment feedback — hit-stop, screen shake, tweening, and response timing — so actions feel readable and satisfying.

Use When

  • core actions feel flat, mushy, or unresponsive in playtests
  • feedback layers (visual, audio, haptic) need a coherent budget and priority
  • juice additions start hurting readability or competitive clarity

Inputs

  • core loop and action set
  • input-to-response timing measurements
  • existing feedback inventory (VFX, SFX, camera, haptics)
  • readability and accessibility constraints

Process

  1. inventory each player action and its current feedback stack
  2. define target response timing per action (anticipation, contact, recovery)
  3. assign feedback layers per action: animation, camera, audio, haptics, UI
  4. set a juice budget — where intensity helps and where it harms readability
  5. define tuning variables and exposure so feel can be iterated without code changes
  6. validate against accessibility needs (shake reduction, flash limits, haptic toggles)

Outputs

  • feedback stack specification per core action
  • response timing targets
  • juice budget with readability limits
  • tuning variable list for iteration

Quality Bar

  • supports the core fantasy and player goals
  • defines readable rules, edge cases, and feedback
  • creates concrete hooks for tuning, telemetry, and QA

Common Failure Modes

  • stacking effects until readability collapses
  • tuning feel by anecdote without timing measurements
  • feedback that cannot be reduced or disabled for accessibility
  • gameplay-programmer
  • ui-ux-designer
  • audio-designer
  • game-feel-pass
  • audio-pass
  • ui-flow-review
  • accessibility-design
  • combat-design

Notes

  • Keep this skill aligned with the relevant rules layer and current project documentation.
  • If engine-specific constraints materially change the workflow, hand off to the matching engine skill or engine-specific reviewer.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
