* Sci-fi, spreadsheet simulator, "Choose your own adventure"
(on missions) roguelite (procedural mission generation and
permanent failure) with X-Com influence (see the above)

Above, WILD means the character could perform under any three
of the main stats at a given time.

PERMAFAILURE LEVELS:

* Hard Saves at the start of each episode (like FE battles)
* Soft-saves only (never give up! never surrender!)

SEASON LOOP:

1. Pick the 32 crew for your vessel and assign them to jobs
2. Episode
  * 1-2 problems present in choose your own adventure style
  * Go along the branching path
    * Choose who deals with a given issue, etc.
    * Dicerolls!
    * Consequences! (Medical needs, windfalls, repairs, equipment,
      new character traits. More dicerolls probably!
3. Manage crew between episodes
4. Repeat (2) and (3) x 6
5. Season finale (functions like episodes, except risk/reward++,
   and the adventure has additional complications if I am able to
   program them in.

Technical note: Focusing on "perfectly imbalanced" static writing
crafted by me and other writers for the adventures. This means
mostly sticking names into a pre-existing paragraph mad-lib style
and the adventures themselves, probably *mostly* being put
together piecemeal or even just crafted fully or with small
variations (e.g. the way items work in Cogmind or, on the variant
front, Nioh.)

TRAITS AND CONDITIONS:
* Main Character: level this trait up for every 3 episodes
  featuring a crew member in the “foreground” (chosen for away
  mission, dealing with an engineering problem, etc). Every time
  a character would normally die, keep them alive but level this
  trait down. Captains and two other characters of player choice
  will automatically receive 2 levels of MC at the start of a
  season.
* Companionship: every crew member gains companionship with the
  people they work with. If a beloved crewmate is lost. Gain 1
  point per episode, 2 if “easily attached”
* Easily attached: gains companionship more quickly than other
  crew members
* Grief: chance to undergo grief for every crewman above certain
  companionship levels with the recently dead. Grief-stricken
  crewmates will receive 1-3 levels of this trait which will
  decrease at the end of each episode. May result in fractional
  penalties to performance, slight boon to performance depending
  on situation, or just be flavoring depending what I have time
  to program.
