Use when implementing level changes OR dynamic content loading. Keywords scene, loading, transition, async, ResourceLoader, change_scene, preload, PackedScene, fade.
Expert blueprint for testing patterns using GUT (Godot Unit Test), integration tests, mock/stub patterns, async testing, and validation techniques. Covers assert patterns, signal testing, and CI/CD integration. Use when implementing tests OR validating game logic. Keywords GUT, unit test, integration test, assert, mock, stub, GutTest, watch_signals, TDD.
Expert blueprint for UI themes using Theme resources, StyleBoxes, custom fonts, and theme overrides for consistent visual styling. Covers StyleBoxFlat/Texture, theme inheritance, dynamic theme switching, and font variations. Use when implementing consistent UI styling OR supporting multiple themes. Keywords Theme, StyleBox, StyleBoxFlat, add_theme_override, font, theme inheritance, dark mode.
Expert blueprint for horror games including tension pacing (sawtooth wave: buildup/peak/relief), Director system (macro AI controlling pacing), sensory AI (vision/sound detection), sanity/stress systems (camera shake, audio distortion), lighting atmosphere (volumetric fog, dynamic shadows), and "dual brain" AI (cheating director + honest senses). Use for psychological horror, survival horror, or atmospheric games. Trigger keywords: horror_game, tension_pacing, director_system, sensory_perception, sanity_system, volumetric_fog, AI_reaction_time.
Expert knowledge of Godot Engine game development including scene creation, node management, GDScript programming, and project structure. Use when working with Godot projects, creating or modifying scenes, adding nodes, writing game scripts, or solving Godot-specific problems.
Expert patterns for simplifying 3D games to 2D including dimension reduction strategies, camera flattening, physics conversion, 3D-to-sprite art pipeline, and control simplification. Use when porting 3D to 2D, creating 2D versions for mobile, or prototyping. Trigger keywords: CharacterBody3D to CharacterBody2D, Camera3D to Camera2D, Vector3 to Vector2, flatten Z-axis, orthogonal projection, 3D to sprite conversion, performance optimization.
Expert patterns for Godot audio including AudioStreamPlayer variants (2D positional, 3D spatial), AudioBus mixing architecture, dynamic effects (reverb, EQ,compression), audio pooling for performance, music transitions (crossfade, bpm-sync), and procedural audio generation. Use for music systems, sound effects, spatial audio, or audio-reactive gameplay. Trigger keywords: AudioStreamPlayer, AudioStreamPlayer2D, AudioStreamPlayer3D, AudioBus, AudioServer, AudioEffect, music_crossfade, audio_pool, positional_audio, reverb, bus_volume.
Expert patterns for game economies including currency management (multi-currency, wallet system), shop systems (buy/sell prices, stock limits), dynamic pricing (supply/demand), loot tables (weighted drops, rarity tiers), and economic balance (inflation control, currency sinks). Use for RPGs, trading games, or resource management systems. Trigger keywords: EconomyManager, currency, shop_item, loot_table, dynamic_pricing, buy_sell_spread, currency_sink, inflation, item_rarity.
Expert blueprint for platformer games including precision movement (coyote time, jump buffering, variable jump height), game feel polish (squash/stretch, particle trails, camera shake), level design principles (difficulty curves, checkpoint placement), collectible systems (progression rewards), and accessibility options (assist mode, remappable controls). Based on Celeste/Hollow Knight design research. Trigger keywords: platformer, coyote_time, jump_buffer, game_feel, level_design, precision_movement.
Expert blueprint for stealth games (Splinter Cell, Hitman, Dishonored, Thief) covering AI detection systems, vision cones, sound propagation, alert states, light/shadow mechanics, and systemic design. Use when building stealth-action, tactical infiltration, or immersive sim games requiring enemy awareness systems. Keywords vision cone, detection, alert state, sound propagation, light level, systemic AI, gradual detection.
Expert blueprint for shader programming (visual effects, post-processing, material customization) using Godot's GLSL-like shader language. Covers canvas_item (2D), spatial (3D), uniforms, built-in variables, and performance. Use when implementing custom effects OR stylized rendering. Keywords shader, GLSL, fragment, vertex, canvas_item, spatial, uniform, UV, COLOR, ALBEDO, post-processing.
Develop, test, build, and deploy Godot 4.x games. Use when working with Godot Engine, GDScript, GdUnit4 testing, PlayGodot automation, or exporting games to web/desktop. Covers CI/CD pipelines and deployment to Vercel/GitHub Pages/itch.io.
