Initial ideas for video games (part 2)

A Springboard for Video Game Developers
Creating video games is an art, no doubt. The problem is that it is not easy, with ideas for video games. And even if we have an idea, it does not seem as fresh or exciting as we want it to. The following offers a few ways to generate creative and innovative ideas to keep your video game so much fun to play from beginning to end.
7. Play the video game development before it began. It sounds crazy, but it can be done, and it is a great way down the land. To this work, relax, and visually imagine that you to the game from beginning to end. Let your mind close scenes, characters, actions and strategies. Write down the game as its played in front of your mind, and then repeat for each turn that you wish to see implemented in the actual game was.
8. Take the plot into the mixer. It could well be nothing more challenging than in a video game turns. While it is not too confusing to the point where players could stop complaining and reorganization of its action some fun tricky turns that no one would ever give to predict. Try the game starts in the middle, or introduce all the subplots in the beginning of the game and have to feel it all start to make towards the end (Think, "Pulp Fiction").
9. Watch the game with someone in the eye. You may already know how to play your game, but so can everyone else. To enter some real creativity in your video game design, as if it were presented from the eyes of a child, a lizard or an inanimate object like a TV. This exercise is not only interesting to the game for his players, it will also keep its development challenging and interesting for you! Not if your new view will change his surprise, the game throughout its development. A new perspective has an interesting habit of creating new purposes and new solutions.
10. Challenge the rules. Try to remember that most advances in anything (not just video games) over the defense of the rules came from. For this to work, think of the rules for video game developers in the past, and raised only break! Do the opposite.Where they say you can not or should not you - you go on and do it. As long as your violation Spree caused no damage and does not compromise the integrity of the game, try it!
11. Do not call your project a video game. Sometimes when you change the name to something, you start to see things differently. This is because different words a train of thought moving in another direction - a different direction that sparks new ideas.
12. Combine ideas. We are often told to ditch the first, second or even third idea that we come up with a project in favor of a much stronger idea. But instead of ditching these ideas, why not in one. Combining ideas is one of the easiest ways to come up with new ideas and you can do with your game. You could combine life forms, landscapes and all sorts of things. The end result would be nothing short of amazing and the whole time, your players will wonder: "How did they come up with this stuff?"
