Bring game-design practice into long-form writing

Game design and writing share the need to guide attention. A player or reader benefits from a clear goal, meaningful choices and enough context to understand the next step.

For a developer moving into writing, a short project log is a practical beginning. Explain one problem, the alternatives considered and the observed result. Concrete decisions make a stronger story than a list of tools.

Revise the explanation for someone outside the project. Remove assumptions, define necessary terms and keep the central idea visible. A clear explanation makes the work accessible to a wider audience.
