A (mostly) text-based basketball adventure, with some light strategy and RPG elements.

• Player progression (through winning games? Training? Who knows!)
• Gameplay elements first; balancing/tuning later
• Various opponents, increasing in difficulty
• Name your player whatever you want!
• Persistent player data for those who want it
• Ability to choose offensive + defensive play style, possibly on the fly; simple toggle in both cases, or can it be stepped up to an RPS level?
• 4-6 attrs to start: perimeter/post D, outside(3, midrange), inside(layup, dunk)

• How should it be set up? Players don't need a strategic preference set all the time, so maybe it could just be done through the match.
• But it might make sense to choose a style of player? That's a nice idea.
• In the immediate term, I think this makes the most sense; style can dictate offensive approach, and you can set a defensive strategy (maybe not even in v1)
• I think offensive tendency should dictate shot distribution, maybe including a skill bump to relevant skills on character creation
• Question is; should defensive strategy affect shot distribution as well?
• Will definitely affect shot success; maybe only affects distribution at higher levels, could be sort of Perks-like

• Needs method of assigning possession at the start of match; probably shoot for it, right?
• Need to play out each point, give a result; for now, let's say all misses are defensive rebounds; airball and back up mechanic could be fun (penalize shaky three point shooters being given space to shoot)
• Easy to set up different possession rules on made basket
• Some sort of 21 game? Would like to try a text-based/maybe eventually visual FT component
• Static styles for now; think notes on mechanics from above section still hold true
• Mix up displayed results as needed; steals, blocks, what have you
• But are those actual differences, or does it not really matter with skills being what they are? Probably keep it simple to start
