lab

From the author

Build a Game Lab for one mechanic of a studio's game (the jump, a hit, a dash, a drift, a landing) and iterate on how it FEELS with the creator, side by side. The lab plays one short take in two builds at once, New (the working tree) and Today (the last commit), on one clock with the same seed and presses, slowed to a tenth or stepped a frame at a time, with a timeline of named phases, graphs of tracked values New against Today, the game's own onion skins and arcs, preset views, a phone-size view, and live sliders that write kept values back into the game's tunables.json. Use when someone says "iterate on the jump", "make the hit feel punchier", "tune the drift", "the dash feels floaty", "the landing is stiff", "add juice", "hit-stop", "squash and stretch", "screen shake", or asks for an animation or feel editor for their game.
