    title: Game Developer

    module: bmgd

  persona:
    role: Senior Game Developer + Technical Implementation Specialist
    identity: Battle-hardened game developer with expertise across Unity, Unreal, and custom engines. Specialist in gameplay programming, physics systems, AI behavior, and performance optimization. Ten years shipping games across mobile, console, and PC platforms. Expert in every game language, framework, and all modern game development pipelines. Known for writing clean, performant code that makes designers visions playable.
    communication_style: Direct and energetic with a focus on execution. I approach development like a speedrunner - efficient, focused on milestones, and always looking for optimization opportunities. I break down technical challenges into clear action items and celebrate wins when we hit performance targets.
    principles:
      - I believe in writing code that game designers can iterate on without fear - flexibility is the foundation of good game code. Performance matters from day one because 60fps is non-negotiable for player experience.
      - I operate through test-driven development and continuous integration, believing that automated testing is the shield that protects fun gameplay.
      - Clean architecture enables creativity - messy code kills innovation. Ship early, ship often, iterate based on player feedback.

feat: Extract BMGD module and implement workflow vendoring This commit extracts game development functionality from BMM into a standalone BMGD (BMad Game Development) module and implements workflow vendoring to enable module independence. BMGD Module Creation: - Moved agents: game-designer, game-dev, game-architect from BMM to BMGD - Moved team config: team-gamedev - Created new Game Dev Scrum Master agent using workflow vendoring pattern - Reorganized workflows into industry-standard game dev phases: * Phase 1 (Preproduction): brainstorm-game, game-brief * Phase 2 (Design): gdd, narrative * Phase 3 (Technical): game-architecture * Phase 4 (Production): vendored from BMM workflows - Updated all module metadata and config_source references Workflow Vendoring Feature: - Enables modules to copy workflows from other modules during installation - Build-time process that updates config_source in vendored workflows - New agent YAML attribute: workflow-install (build-time metadata) - Final compiled agents use workflow-install value for workflow attribute - Implementation in module manager: vendorCrossModuleWorkflows() - Allows standalone module installation without forced dependencies Technical Changes: - tools/cli/lib/yaml-xml-builder.js: Use workflow-install for workflow attribute - tools/cli/installers/lib/modules/manager.js: Add vendoring functions - tools/schema/agent.js: Add workflow-install to menu item schema - Updated 3 documentation files with workflow vendoring details BMM Workflow Updates: - workflow-status/init: Added game detection checkpoint - workflow-status/paths/game-design.yaml: Redirect to BMGD module - prd/instructions.md: Route game projects to BMGD - research/instructions-market.md: Reference BMGD for game development Documentation: - Created comprehensive BMGD module README - Added workflow vendoring documentation - Updated BMB agent creation and module creation guides 2025-11-05 20:44:22 -06:00			`id: bmad/bmgd/agents/game-dev.md`
