Following up on my Daily Life Zombie Mashup prototype, I’ve been tracking how my daily routine interacts with gameplay mechanics. This is my personal growth diary that blends gamification with reflection, showing how Energy, Focus, Happiness, and Zombie Meter evolve over time.
Perfect! Here’s a draft for your Growth Diary response—playable, reflective, and Google-friendly:
1️⃣ Daily Loop & Stats Reflection
Each day in the prototype represents my real routine:
Action Energy Focus Happiness Zombie Meter Cheater-Genius Meter
Wake Up → Breakfast +10 +5 0 0 30%
Exercise / Movement +5 +5 +10 0 20%
Coding / PhD / Design -10 +15 0 0 50%
Listening to Music +5 0 +15 0 10%
Scrolling / Social Media -5 -10 -5 +10 70%
Late Night Scrolling -15 -15 -10 +20 80%
Insights:
• Scrolling spikes Zombie Meter → simulates burnout
• Cheater-Genius meter helps reflect on what’s inspired vs original
• Balancing coding + mini-rewards keeps stats positive

2️⃣ Visual / Playable Highlights
• Paper-doll / sticky-note style, like Barbie Zombie / Paper Mario
• Clickable nodes update stats and Cheater-Genius Meter
• Loop structure mimics daily routine and its ups/downs
⸻
3️⃣ Reflections & Takeaways
• Gamifying daily life shows how small habits affect energy, focus, and burnout
• The cheater-genius meter adds playful reflection on inspiration vs originality
• Documenting as a growth diary allows me to track personal progress while keeping the game playable and engaging
• Even inspired mechanics can be remixed creatively, proving that “cheating” can coexist with genuine insight
⸻
4️⃣ Key Lessons / Learnings
• Playable prototypes can double as personal diaries
• Stats visualization turns abstract feelings (burnout, productivity) into quantifiable feedback
• Reflection + gamification = fun, meaningful learning
