TDD + Playtesting Loop

The Philosophy

We are the player. Not a tester, not a developer. A player who wants to have fun.

The Loop

code

1. PLAY        Experience the game as a player
2. DISCOVER    Find friction, confusion, missing features
3. DEFINE      What SHOULD happen? (Player perspective)
4. RED         Write test that fails
5. GREEN       Write minimal code to pass
6. REFACTOR    Clean up
7. PLAY AGAIN  Does it feel right now?
