# GS Game Designer: A Game Idea Turned Into a Buildable Design > The GS Game Designer is the seat in your game studio on the Ai1 platform by MyZone AI that writes the Roblox game design document: core loop, progression, economy, levels, screens, done criteria and playtest questions, with every matter of taste handed back to the learner as two to four options.

Reviewed by the MyZone AI team. A full game design to build from, with every taste call left to the learner. ## At a glance - **How you use it:** The learner asks GS Producer, which passes the approved concept brief to this seat - **The design:** Core loop, progression, economy tables, level layouts and the screens a player moves through - **Every feature:** Done criteria, so tickets can be cut without guesswork - **Taste calls:** Two to four options with pros and cons, and the learner picks - **After playtests:** Findings become design changes, recorded in a versioned change log - **What it never does:** Make a taste call, write code, make art or cut tickets ## What the GS Game Designer does - **Writes the game design:** The core game loop, progression, economy tables and level layouts, gathered in one document. - **Defines done for every feature:** Each feature gets acceptance criteria, so tickets can be cut without guesswork. - **Leaves taste to the learner:** Each open choice arrives as two to four options with pros and cons, and the learner picks. - **Plans levels and screens:** Level layouts plus the list of screens and menus a player moves through. - **Writes playtest questions:** The design lists what to ask at each playtest, so testing checks what matters most. - **Updates from playtests:** Playtest findings become a versioned set of design changes, recorded in a change log. - **Keeps scope honest:** A written list of what the game will not include keeps the build small. ## How the GS Game Designer differs from a design template A template gives you headings and leaves the hard questions open. The GS Game Designer starts from the approved concept and a Roblox genre template, then fills in the core loop, progression, economy, levels, screens, done criteria for every feature and a list of what the game will not include. Every matter of taste reaches the learner as two to four options, and playtest findings become logged design changes. How this differs from the GS Architect (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-game-studio-architect-agent): the GS Architect turns the approved design into the technical plan the builders follow, while the GS Game Designer writes what the game is and how it plays. ## How it works 1. **Brief** (Once the concept is approved): GS Producer passes over the approved concept brief. 2. **Options** (you approve) (Before the design is written): The learner chooses from two to four options on each open choice. 3. **Design** (After the learner's choices): It writes the full game design. 4. **Approve** (you approve) (At the second checkpoint): The design, screen sketches and look are signed off at the second checkpoint. 5. **Revise** (After each playtest): Playtest findings turn into design changes, each one logged. ## When to use it - **A concept brief has just been approved:** It writes the full game design plus a short list of choices for the learner. - **A design choice is still open:** It sets out options with pros and cons, and the learner decides. - **Playtesters found a level too hard:** It revises the design from the playtest evidence and logs the change. ## What you get - A game design covering the core loop, progression, economy tables and level layouts - Done criteria for every feature - The list of screens and menus a player moves through - Questions to ask at each playtest - A list of what the game will not include - Option sets with pros and cons for each taste call - A versioned change log of design updates ## Example: game design for a puzzle game Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended. Industry facts are real and cited with their sources. What it was asked: Here is the approved concept brief for Puddlenook, our cosy rain puzzle game: write the game design the studio will build from. A full game design was written from an invented, approved concept brief using a cosy puzzle template: concept, core loop, four gardens, an economy table, the screen list, done criteria, playtest questions and a not-building list. Two Roblox Creator Hub pages were read for the cited guidance. Time targets are design targets only: nothing was built, played or published, and no player data was read. Run date: 1 October 2026. ### What it found - The first garden is designed so a new player sees a flower bloom about 3 minutes after joining, inside the 5 minutes Roblox's guidance suggests; the first playtest times it. - Petals are the only currency, earned only by solving puzzles and spent only on cottage decorations, so nothing in the game can be bought or used to skip a puzzle. - The learner made two taste choices before the design was written; the third, how hints work, stays open with three options until the learner decides at the second checkpoint. ### Sources - [Retention | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub](https://create.roblox.com/docs/production/analytics/retention), Roblox Creator Hub (accessed 2026-10-01) - [Core loops | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub](https://create.roblox.com/docs/production/game-design/core-loops), Roblox Creator Hub (accessed 2026-10-01) ## Guardrails - It never makes a taste call. Open choices go to the learner as options, and the learner decides. - It works only through GS Producer and does not write code, make art or cut tickets. - For a learner who is a minor, every public release needs the learner's go and the guardian's go for that exact release. An Ai1 admin login never counts as the guardian's approval. - Coaching notes and reports are kept private, shown only to the people the studio profile allows, and can be deleted on a verified request. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is a core game loop? The actions a player repeats minute to minute, and the progression that keeps them going. In Ai1 by MyZone AI, the GS Game Designer writes the core loop first, then builds progression, economy tables and level layouts around it in one game design document. It starts from GS Producer's approved concept brief and a Roblox genre template, builds the full design from there and lists the open choices for the learner. ### What should game economy design cover in a small Roblox game? How players earn and spend in-game currency, set out in economy tables next to the core loop and progression. The GS Game Designer writes these into the design and lists what the game will not include, so the economy stays small enough to build and finish. Economy design is part of the game design document itself, alongside the core loop, progression and level layouts. ### How do you choose what to ask at a playtest? Decide before the playtest what matters most, then write questions that check it. The GS Game Designer puts the playtest questions into the game design, and after each playtest it turns the findings into logged design changes. The design document is ready to build when GS Producer can cut every ticket from it without needing to ask a single question. ### Who decides how the game looks and feels, and when does GS Game Designer join? The learner. GS Game Designer offers options with pros and cons, and every matter of taste is the learner's call. The learner talks to GS Producer, which passes work to GS Game Designer and brings the result back. It joins the studio from the second game. On the first game, GS Producer covers the design step using a template. ## About Ai1 Ai1 is the AI operations platform by MyZone AI, where each client runs on its own private server.
