game-design-bartle-archetype-audit
From the author
Audit a game, feature, event, progression system, social system, live-ops loop, or onboarding flow through the lens of Bartle player archetypes: Achievers, Explorers, Socializers, and Killers. Use when evaluating who a design motivates, who it neglects, whether a feature over-serves one archetype at the expense of others, how a system will be perceived by different motivational player types, or why engagement is uneven across different player motivations.

- game-design-granular-player-motivation-auditStanestane/game-design-skills-bundleAudit 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.Design★ 86
- game-design-player-motivation-auditStanestane/game-design-skills-bundleAudit a game, feature, live-ops system, progression loop, social feature, or monetization surface using a Self-Determination Theory-inspired motivation framework. Use when evaluating what kind of motivation a design creates, comparing alternative motivational profiles, diagnosing why a system feels sticky, hollow, exhausting, or dead, checking overreliance on rewards and grind, or assessing whether a feature supports short-term activation, medium-term habit, or long-term player identity.Design★ 86
- game-design-multiplayer-feature-auditStanestane/game-design-skills-bundleAudit a game, feature, live-ops layer, social system, or multiplayer concept for the quality and fit of its social design. Use when evaluating collaboration, competition, collaborate-to-compete structures, matchmaking, guilds/clubs, synchronous versus asynchronous play, realtime constraints, depth of social interaction, community formation, vanity/status systems, or how to add social play to a mostly single-player game.Design★ 86
- game-design-big-five-personality-auditStanestane/game-design-skills-bundleAudit a game, feature, progression system, social system, live-ops loop, onboarding flow, monetization surface, or multiplayer space through the lens of the Big Five personality traits (OCEAN): Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Use when evaluating which personality-style preferences a design feels comfortable for, which kinds of players it energizes or exhausts, how much structure, novelty, social intensity, conflict, or emotional pressure it creates, or when you need a personality-fit lens that is different from archetype or motivation-segment frameworks.Design★ 86
- game-design-attribution-auditStanestane/game-design-skills-bundleAudit a game, feature, combat scenario, progression step, failure state, onboarding beat, or reward outcome through the lens of attribution theory: how players explain success and failure. Use when evaluating whether players will blame themselves, the system, luck, or hidden rules; diagnosing perceived unfairness, learned helplessness, rage, or churn after losses; or identifying where clarity, control, and feedback are too weak for healthy learning.Design★ 86
- game-design-player-segment-perception-auditStanestane/game-design-skills-bundleAudit a game feature, live update, roadmap item, event, or content drop by how different player segments are likely to perceive it. Use when a feature is aimed at one cohort but visible to others, when update messaging may create excitement for players who cannot meaningfully access the feature, or when you need to understand how new, mid, and elder players will read the same feature differently.Design★ 86
