Along the way will be <s>interactive examples</s>, snippets from other creators, and relevant material to contextualize everything.</p><blockquote><p>Note: This is an incomplete document. I want to keep adding opinions and opposing views from other incremental games developers, and add interactive examples to illustrate various points regarding game design and balancing. Consider this a living document - and see the changelog at the end.</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>Note: This was made before my switch to a digital garden, and is written as prose.
