🌱 Editing the Game Seed & Concept

When you enter a prompt in Jabali, the system first creates a game seed — the foundational blueprint that guides how your game is generated.

From this seed, Jabali creates a fully formed game concept, which includes the name, narrative summary, core mechanics, and a poster image.

This page explains how the game seed and concept work, and how you can edit or regenerate them to better match your vision.

🌱 What is a Game Seed?

The game seed is the starting point for game generation — a structured set of values derived from your initial prompt. It helps Jabali align tone, theme, and gameplay across all generated content.

🧬 What’s in a Game Seed?

Game Type Game Seed Fields
Character Simulation Character Name, Challenge, Character Bio, Visual Style
All Other Games Visual Style, Game Theme

🔍 Example (Character Sim Game Seed) 

Character Name: Nova  
Challenge: Keep her spaceship from falling apart while managing crew drama  
Character Bio: A brilliant but emotionally detached engineer-cat navigating leadership  
Visual Style: Cartoon sci-fi, pastel colors, side-view sprites

🎮 What is a Game Concept?

Based on your seed, Jabali creates a Game Concept: a polished, high-level pitch of your game. It includes:

  • 🕹️ Game Name
  • 📖 Gameplay Description – Mechanics, story loop, or mission structure
  • 🎨 Game Poster – An AI-generated visual for inspiration or use as a splash screen

🧪 Example Game Concept

🕹️ Title: “Cogs of Solitude”

📖 Description:
A narrative-driven resource management game where you play as Nova, a reclusive engineer-cat tasked with repairing a derelict starship. Each day, you balance repairs, morale, and unexpected visitors — all while unraveling a hidden mystery.
