[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 9334127, member: 71699"] When time permits I will scour back through the thread and list out some that you and others (probably including me) have listed. I haven't claimed to be either a modalist or a hybridist. I observed that both exist. It is always the case that successful designs will be situated in the hot spots, i.e. represent distinguishable modes. Novel designs are often found initially in the hinterland, but quickly form a neighbourhood as others promulgate and emulate them. Interesting. I was looking at "framed", "resolved" and "generates theme" each as properties. Such that a game could have a "scene" property, and (via scenes) could have the properties "framed", "resolved", and "theme". I'll label those FRT for convenience. In this case I would wonder if frequency, accuracy and intensity matter. It seems very likely that they do, in which case what you have described isn't a binary.
