📋 Output Example

## Fusion Scheme: Roguelike × Simulation × Social

### 🎯 Core Concept
Manage a shelter in a randomly generated post-apocalyptic world. After each failure, 
a new generation inherits partial memories and resources, but relationship networks reset.

### 🔄 Core Loop

**Short-term** (per minute):
- Assign survivors to explore, build, research
- Handle emergencies (resource shortage, conflicts, diseases)

**Mid-term** (per session):
- Explore new areas, unlock resources and technologies
- Expand shelter, accept new survivors

**Long-term** (Meta progression):
- Generational inheritance: next generation inherits tech and resources
- Memory fragments: unlock special storylines
- Civilization rebuilding progress

### 🔗 Key Mechanism Fusion

| Roguelike Element | Simulation Element | Fusion Approach |
|------------------|-------------------|-----------------|
| Permadeath | Base Building | Generational inheritance |
| Random Generation | Resource Management | Survivors with random traits |
| Meta Progression | Tech Tree | Memory fragments unlock cross-gen tech |

### ✨ Innovations

1. **Dynamic Family History**: Auto-generated "family legends" narrative
2. **Memory Inheritance System**: Past experiences affect descendant abilities
3. **Cultural Tradition Evolution**: Rituals become traditions across generations

### ⚠️ Potential Risks

- **Mechanism Conflict**: Fast-paced failure vs slow-paced building
- **Cognitive Load**: Managing resources, relationships, tech tree simultaneously
- **Development Complexity**: Generational system requires extensive content
