# Roblox Game Design Fundamentals

## When to Load

Load for the structural craft of a Roblox experience: core loop and meta-game architecture, tutorial/FTUE structure, level design, economy design, retention-phase planning, juice/game feel, Bartle balance, grind avoidance, Today's Picks or Moments readiness. Route elsewhere: metrics/discovery → `roblox-growth-design`; persuasion/pricing → `roblox-player-psychology`; VFX → `roblox-animation-vfx`; economy telemetry → `roblox-analytics`.


## Quick Reference

- **Core loop first**: three layers must each work: core loop (moment-to-moment), meta-game (hour-to-hour), long-term progression (day-to-day). If the raw actions aren't fun, nothing above them survives.
- **Retention phases**: D0–7 understandability/novelty/stability → D7–30 progression/mastery/return triggers → D30–90 social comparison/LiveOps → D90+ community.
- **Teach invisibly**: teach through experience, never popups; environmental teaching, dynamic UI, kinesthetic learning, show don't tell, inverted pyramid of complexity.
- **Levels**: Kishōtenketsu (safe intro → develop → twist → conclusion) plus the invisible hand (coins/lighting guide without text) and fairness (deaths feel the player's fault).
- **Economy**: every source needs a sink; soft/hard/social currencies; prices must scale with the power curve; watch hoarding, churn at choke points, currency devaluation.
