Create GDD or any other design document.
-
Gather ideas and receive feedback from peers.
2. Research & Analysis
-
Research similar games.
-
Learn from these games and their designers.
-
Analyze what worked for them and what didn't.
-
Design graphs, notes, sketches, visual mock-ups, etc.
3. Prototyping and Implementation
-
Create small layouts or a graybox level to test mechanics.
-
Construct prototypes of the game mechanics.
-
Design more visual references to display ideas.
4. Iteration Process
-
Test and iterate on what is already implemented.
-
Gather feedback.
-
Make extensive playtest.
-
Start replacing the graybox level with Art assets.
