Game Backend Selector

Goal

Select the backend profile that best serves the requested outcome. Use ../../shared/reference/backend-profiles.md.

Outputs

Respect the output strategy set by using-game-superpowers:

• inline (default): present backend decisions in conversation.
• minimal or full: write docs/game-studio/backend-decision.md.

Rules

• Prefer capabilities over brand or fandom.
• If the project already has a workable backend, bias toward it unless it is the blocker.
• Optimize for the chosen quality target, not just the fastest toy result.
• Respect project state: live iteration and greenfield do not deserve the same backend decision policy.
