How does one create a good game loop? No matter how much story content I have it's worth nothing if the hook and loop isn't there. Akabur made Jasmine go to work and genie to make money between events. Should I do the same?

I'm not sure myself, ive been deving my own game and have found the game loop to be one of the more challenging parts, making one is hard especially for sex games and trainer games. Ive found on thing that helps me is looking into different game loops online, and how they are made, seeing what people enjoy and getting feedback is the next step for me.

Either copy a loop you like or create your own. It's mostly just about finding a good balance between progress/reward for the player and not making it to grindy/repetitive with the amount of content you can add.

There are a lot examples around but basic ones usually boil down to a mix of doing things to earn money, resources or level up which will unlock new things for some progress and goal.

At it's core you need a goal, if the goal is to grind to get better at grinding there's a good chance you're gonna lose people. The goal of reaching an ending or unlocking more content (stuff to do) has worked for years.

Look at the final fantasy series and you can pretty much tell what the goal is, and the goal does change as you move towards them, but the goals are clearly defined.

FF7

>fight to survive

>Help your friend with a favor

>save another friend

>stop a madman from saving the world

FF8

>pass the test

>complete the mission

>complete another mission

>stop the sorceress from taking over the world

The goals are fairly well defined and you know overall what you need to be doing. Princess Trainer had the defined goal of making Jasmine into a slut for Jafar and as a consequence you unlocked other content. Strive for power's goal is to become more powerful and wealthy which leads you down the quest line.

do a thing >> get a prize >> prize helps you do thing better >> get better prize

this but rinse and repeat

most games you can boil down to this

just add abstraction and good content so its fun to do this loop otherwise it'll just be lame grinding
