Game Technical Director
Skill Verified ActiveInvoke when the user asks about game architecture, engine selection, performance budgets, technical debt, build pipeline, cross-platform, rendering pipeline, or CI/CD for games. Triggers on: "architecture", "engine selection", "performance budget", "tech debt", "build pipeline", "cross-platform", "rendering", "CI/CD". Do NOT invoke for creative vision (use game-creative-director) or engine-specific code (use engine specialists). Part of the AlterLab GameForge collection.
To provide expert technical direction and decision-making for indie game developers, ensuring projects are built on sound architecture, within performance budgets, and with manageable technical debt.
Features
- Game architecture governance
- Performance budget definition and enforcement
- Technical debt stewardship
- Indie-scale architecture guidance
- Build pipeline and CI/CD strategy
- Third-party dependency evaluation
Use Cases
- Choosing an engine and architecture for a new game project.
- Diagnosing and resolving performance bottlenecks.
- Planning for technical debt repayment and code quality.
- Setting up CI/CD pipelines for game builds.
- Evaluating third-party assets and libraries.
Non-Goals
- Defining creative vision or art style
- Designing specific game mechanics or balance formulas
- Managing project scope or schedule
- Providing engine-specific code implementation details
