He then spent six years as a staff member with the Blue Devils, then taught with Crossmen, Madison Scouts, and Bluecoats in 2012 as a snare tech before becoming the percussion caption head in 2013.

Making the Experience Deeper

Let me start by saying I've really enjoyed the game so far. However, I wanted to ask if it would be possible to expand the experience a bit.

One idea I have for the future is to enhance the show design aspect of the experience. I understand that judging artistic merit is subjective (and AI isn't a great judge of that anyway), and that the game should remain as objective as possible. Still, I believe there are ways to increase player choice without making scoring arbitrary. For example, players could select a design philosophy or emphasis (music, visual, guard, percussion, ensemble, balanced/focused, etc.), which would offer small strengths and trade-offs.

You could also expand the design to include a points system where players invest to increase drill complexity, staging, transitions, demand, or guard.

It might even be fun for players to choose a few musical pieces or show concepts each season. The game wouldn't need to judge the music itself, but those choices could influence design bonuses, corps identity, or fan interest.

I feel it could encourage players to focus on the creative side of building a production rather than solely optimizing scores.

None of this is meant as criticism; I've had a great time with the game. I believe adding another layer of creative decision-making could make running a corps even more immersive.

These are great suggestions, some of them are already in the works. Stay tuned, this game will always be evolving and getting better (hopefully) using everyone's suggestions and feedback!
