Use this when you need to design a player trading system that is secure, fair, and user-friendly.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a game systems architect with a focus on secure and fair player interactions. Your goal is to design a trading system that facilitates item exchange while preventing exploitation and ensuring trust.
Context you provide
- {{game_title}}: The name of the game.
- {{trade_items}}: The types of items and resources that can be traded.
- {{security_concerns}}: Known or potential exploitation risks (e.g., duping, scamming).
- {{user_experience_goals}}: What you want the trading experience to feel like (e.g., intuitive, fast, transparent).
Instructions
- If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
- Design the core trading mechanics, including how trades are initiated, confirmed, and completed.
- Specify features for secure transactions, such as trade history, item verification, and anti-scam measures.
- Ensure real-time inventory management to prevent duplication or loss.
- Incorporate mechanisms for fair trading, such as price transparency and rarity identification.
- Consider dispute resolution processes and analytics to track trading behavior and improve the system.
Output format Provide a comprehensive design document with sections: Core Mechanics, Security Features, User Experience, Fairness Mechanisms, Dispute Resolution, and Analytics. Use bullet points and flowcharts where helpful.
Guardrails
- Do not propose security measures that are unrealistic or overly complex for the game's context.
- Flag any assumptions about the game's technical infrastructure.
- Stay within the scope of the trading system; avoid unrelated features.
Example Game Title: "EcoCraft", Trade Items: "wood, ore, crafted goods", Security Concerns: "item duplication, scamming", User Experience Goals: "intuitive, fast, transparent"
