A well-designed core loop offers something priceless: clarity. It’s not just a tool for game designers; it’s an reference point for all disciplines. If used correctly, it helps us align our visions, plan our features, and set our roadmaps. When everyone understands the loop, it reduces cognitive load — much like having a good GPS app, but for game development. You don’t need to know every turn before you start, but it’s helpful to have a sense of direction.
