✍️ Sample Output Snippet

(Based on Theme: 'Solarpunk City-Builder', Genre: 'Strategy', Platform: 'PC')

1. Game Title Ideas:

• Veridian Spire
• Bloom-Cycle
• The Solarpunk Architect

2. High-Concept Pitch:

It's 'SimCity' meets 'The Great British Bake Off', but with eco-technology and community harmony.

4. Core Gameplay Loop:

Research -> Build -> Integrate -> Harmonize. Players research new green technologies, build symbiotic structures (e.g., algae farms on skyscraper walls), integrate them into the city's power/food grid, and work to raise the city's overall harmony score by balancing nature, technology, and community needs.

5. Key Mechanics:

• Symbiotic Building: Structures provide bonuses when placed near complementary ones.
• Seasonal Events: The changing seasons bring unique challenges and opportunities, like summer heatwaves requiring more cooling solutions or bountiful autumn harvests.

💡 Tips for Best Results

• Mix and Match: For the most creative results, try combining an unexpected Theme with a familiar Genre. For example, 'Victorian high society' + 'Survival horror'.
• Be Evocative: In the Game Theme variable, use descriptive language. 'A city built on the back of a sleeping giant' is more inspiring than 'fantasy city'.
• Iterate and Combine: Run the prompt a few times with slight variations. You might love the title ideas from one run and the core mechanics from another. Mix and match them!
• Think About Scope: When choosing a Target Platform, consider your team's size and budget. A 'Mobile' game often has a different scope than a 'PC/Console' AAA-style game.
