Game Prototype Iteration overview

Rapid iteration loop for building and evaluating game prototypes within a sprint. Game developers scope a focused mechanic or experience hypothesis, build a minimal playable prototype, and conduct internal playtests to validate fun and feasibility. Feedback from playtests drives immediate refinements or pivots in the next iteration. Prototypes that pass the fun threshold are promoted to full feature development while failed experiments are documented as learning artefacts for the team.
