Feedback and Mutation Design

This page covers the operational workflow from raw player comments to delta design updates.

Step 1: Connect a Feedback Source​

Attach a feedback endpoint or API link in project release data so Arcane Forge can retrieve player comments.

Step 2: Review Player Comments​

Use the comments list to inspect raw player voice before analysis.

Step 3: Choose Analysis Mode​

Assisted discussion:

  • Select comments
  • Send to Design Assistant
  • Ask targeted product questions

Automated analysis:

  • Run full clustering and synthesis
  • Produce opportunities and candidate mutations

Step 4: Review Clusters and Opportunities​

Automated analysis should produce:

  • Feedback clusters by problem area
  • Actionable opportunities
  • Proposed mutations with impact and effort

Step 5: Generate Delta GDD​

Select the mutations you want, then open a mutation design session to generate delta GDD updates. Review and save accepted changes into the Knowledge Base.

Loop Closure​

Use the updated design to drive the next implementation cycle:

Feedback -> Analysis -> Design Change -> Build -> Release
