Nope. :-) Domain information should use defrecord, and should never be mutable. This is the closest thing to a Java bean, but is radically different in being (1) immutable, (2) persistent, and (3) accessible generically as a map. Game state would modeled with defrecord. deftype is for things like custom data structures. In a Clojure-in-Clojure implementation, deftype would be used to implement maps, vectors, and lists. deftype's mutation ability would be used to implement transients.
