About this model
In my puzzle game, difficulty increases every 10 levels. Simulate progression across 50 levels and identify w```text Create a clean game design loop diagram for my dark fantasy arena/dungeon game called "The Curse of the Blood".
The image should show the main gameplay loop clearly, using connected boxes with arrows. Make it suitable for a university game project report. Style should be readable, professional, and dark fantasy themed, but not too busy.
Game loop:
1. City / Home Base - Player starts in the home base. - Player can talk to NPCs: - Arcane Shop NPC - Arena Master NPC - Dungeon Master NPC - Sleep NPC - Player can manage abilities, save/load, rest, and choose activities.
Arrow to:
2. Choose Daily Activity - Player has 3 daily activities. - Each arena fight or dungeon run consumes 1 activity. - This prevents the player from farming everything on day one.
Split into two paths:
Path A: Arena Fight - Player fights enemies in the arena. - Arena gives money/coins. - Weekly boss duel happens at the end of each week. - Defeating all weekly bosses is required to win the game.
Path B: Dungeon Run - Player enters Blood Dungeon or Lava Dungeon. - Player fights enemies and bosses. - Dungeons drop essences and abilities. - Bosses can drop strong signature essence abilities.
Both paths connect to:
3. Rewards - Coins - XP - Ability drops - Essence drops - Boss signature abilities - Dungeon progress
Arrow to:
4. Upgrade Build - Player buys abilities from Arcane Shop. - Player upgrades abilities. - Abilities have ranks: Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary. - Player can merge same-type abilities. - Upgrades increase power and can unlock sub-abilities. - Player equips 3 active abilities and 3 passive abilities.
Arrow to:
5. Rest / Advance Day - Player talks to Sleep NPC. - Day advances. - Activities reset. - Weekly boss day gets closer.
Arrow loops back to:
City / Home Base
Also include final win/loss side notes: - Win: survive 3 weeks and defeat all weekly arena bosses. - Lose: player has 5 lives; losing all lives causes permanent death, then player must load a save or reset the run.
Visual design requirements: - Use a circular or semi-circular flow layout. - Use clear arrows. - Use readable labels. - Use simple icons if possible: city, sword, dungeon gate, coin, ability crystal, bed/rest, boss skull. - Use dark fantasy colours: dark red, black, grey, gold accents. - Make it clean enough to fit in a LaTeX report figure. - Output as a 16:9 or wide diagram image. - No tiny unreadable text. ```
