Core Thinking Process:

Pitch: Based on facts and Studio competency:

Game Genre, based on Scale & Budget
Vision & Tech
Delivery Plan

Preproduction

Research: Build a Strong Foundation:

World Design, Mechanics & Narrative
Player Architypes
Locations & History
Feasibility & Performance factors
Required Tech developed Tested

Prototype & Exploration:

Macro to Micro Loop Definitions
Architype Validation
Engagement metrics
Define building-blocks [assets, systems, experience, viability]
Provide resources of findings
Create guides and set expectations.

Production

Construction Phase:

Clarity of Design Intention established
Deliverables understood and clear
Content Plan in Place
Limit introduction of new content
Schedule Time for iteration defined
Follow the creation process.
