I think there's a lot to recommend the incremental approach! I do a lot of my thinking that way—a sort of hybrid between incrementalism and durable notes updated over time. Still not sure how to best negotiate that boundary, but neither extreme seems right in all cases.

Different game loops generate different outcomes, so there are infinite "right answers". Really what I'm trying to point toward in these posts is not specific features, but rather, a shift in perspective, away from designing features, and toward designing feedback loops.
