Gift of Hedone: What is the actual "Gameplay Loop"? (Patreon)

Hello you sexy deviants,

For those who may not be familiar with the term, A gameplay loop is the sequence of actions that players perform repeatedly throughout the game - ultimately it is what will keep you coming back to a game if you enjoy the gameplay loop.

So I wanted to take this time to explain best I can in its simplest form what I want the Gift of Hedone Gameplay loop to be:

You will prepare you party for journeying & exploration:
1.  Apply Pre-journey buffs

2. Discover side quest

3. Strengthening Your Party (passives & abilities)

4. Summon New Teams Members

5. Make Potions

6. Buy Items or Upgrade Weapons

7. "Interact" with party members and other NPCs ;)

Once prepared, you will venture out and explore:

1. Fight Monsters & Level Up

3. Find Treasure & secrets

4. Complete Side Quests

You will become strong enough to progress the story, to reach the next village and the loop will repeat, unlocking more preparation options, and more venturing exploration tasks.

I hope this provides a good snapshot of the gameloop, but please let me know if you have any questions.
