1
So, when I first met James, I remember asking him how he knew a game idea was a good one, and how one even comes up with a good game idea in the first place.
2
Turns out those were two questions he got asked a lot, and boy, was he ready to answer them.
3
And honestly, those answers have stuck with me for a long time now, as just some really clear and practical advice for anyone before they start making a video game, or really any creative endeavor,
4
in order to have them end up with the best possible thing at the end.
5
So, today, I thought it'd be nice if we shared them with all of you.
6
Thanks so much to Trade Coffee for being the best creative fuel us caffeinated beings could ask for.
7
Okay, let's start with the question of how do I come up with a game idea?
8
Because that one's kind of easy, right?
9
You probably have dozens.
10
So to start, write down ten of them.
11
Make them short, of course, a paragraph or less, like an elevator pitch for a publisher kind of thing.
12
Next, I want you to write down ten more.
13
Got them?
14
Okay.
15
And lastly, one last batch of ten.
16
Now you're getting to the weird stuff, right?
17
The stuff that's probably truly original, because you've run out of the things you've seen before, and at this point you're really stretching.
18
And it's in this place of originality and weirdness that inspiration often does come.
19
Also, do not worry about these ideas being good yet.
20
I mean, Ayn Rand underwater shooter, a hedgehog but really fast, or a fantasy adventure where you shout, These are not really good ideas.
21
Heck, they're only slightly less insane than an Italian stereotype who takes mushrooms and jumps on turtles.
22
And the fact that they're not good ideas is totally okay, because in truth, it's execution, not the idea itself, that ends up making a good game.
23
So the real answer to the question of how do I know if my game idea is good is actually another question, can you execute on it in an interesting way?
24
And that right there, friends, James can give you real practical advice on.
25
First, take each of your ideas and ask yourself, what's the unique selling point?
26
What can this game offer that no other games do?
27
What can you present the players that they haven't seen before?
28
And any idea that you wrote down that doesn't have a clear answer to those questions can be crossed off your list.
29
Next, envision a snapshot of the game.
30
Does it have something visually unique for the player?
31
A character they'll love, an art style that they'll recognize from a mile away?
32
Maybe an area that will just sweep them off their feet?
33
If you can't envision at least one incredible visual for a game idea, cross it off the list.
34
Now try to think of the first five minutes of your game.
35
How do you see them playing out?
36
Can you show the player what's interesting about your game in those five minutes?
37
Will it grab them?
38
Or is it so complex that you'd have to play for 10 hours before you really get to the good bits?
39
If there's nothing you can make compelling in the first five minutes, you guessed it, cross it off that list.
40
Next, I want you to look around you at the people that will be making the game with you.
41
And that could be metaphorically if you're working remotely.
42
What are the skills of your team, even if that team is only you?
43
What's everyone good at, right?
44
Does your game idea highlight those skills?
45
Because if you're telling me your game idea is something like werewolves in zero gravity, and you've got no one who has any idea how to do something like fur physics,
46
then you should possibly cross that idea off the list too.
47
Or maybe you have an amazing art team, but only one engineer.
48
Well, then the idea you choose should probably showcase the art and not be too programming intensive. And anything
49
that doesn't fit the bill of your team skills can really
50
be just moved into your games to be made in the future bucket.
51
Along those similar lines, you should be thinking about your timeline and budget.
52
Think about your idea, right?
53
Does it require a lot of content for the player to enjoy?
54
Or is it really more about replayability and mechanics?
55
If you've got a smaller budget or a tight schedule, at this point you can cross off all of the open -world games and all of the MMOs from the list.
56
But it actually does go deeper than just those things.
57
Because imagine your game idea.
58
Does it need a ton of levels and enemies for the player to really enjoy it?
59
Well, if so, then that's not what you want to be making with a small team on a restricted schedule.
60
Now try to think about the end of your game.
61
The denouement, if you will.
62
Can you think of a truly memorable way for the player's experience with your game to end?
63
Will the final bit of the narrative stay with your player forever?
64
Will it make them weep?
65
Will the end be so epic they can't help but spoil it for all of their friends?
66
Will it pose a question that makes the player think about existence in a new way?
67
If you can't come up with a good ending for an idea, then at this point, it's probably not the right one.
68
So cross it off the list.
69
Next, ask yourself, who is my audience?
70
The more specific you can get here, the better.
71
Is it grade school children at recess?
72
45 -year -old man on bike rides?
73
FPS players who like puzzles or puzzle gamers who just really like to shoot stuff?
74
And hey, sometimes the audience is just you.
75
And that's okay.
76
But at this point, if any of your ideas don't have an audience jumping out to you, something's probably off.
77
So if you're stumbling here, this is also a good time to cross some ideas off the list.
78
After that, let's take a detour back to budget land for a moment, kinda.
79
Because now it's time to ask yourself what your game is worth.
80
What do you think a reasonable price point is for any of your ideas that are left?
81
This of course is a bit harder for free -to -play or ad -supported games, but in those cases, just ask yourself, how much do you expect the median player to pay?
82
Does that number make sense with your budget?
83
Does this idea sound like a one -hour walking simulator, but it also needs to be so visually stimulating that you need a $10 million budget?
84
Are you really getting a million people to pay $10?
85
Are your Steam reviews going to be filled with people saying, $10 for an hour of playtime?
86
What a ripoff!
87
So, would you really then need to sell 10 million units for something like a dollar?
88
Does that seem realistic?
89
If not, or if the clarity just isn't there, it's also back to the drawing board.
90
Oh, and I should probably mention here, remember that your publisher and your platform holders are also going to take their cut as well.
91
Finally, try and sketch out the moment where all of this comes together.
92
Create for yourself one example of play that gathers everything that's unique and interesting about your game that we've determined above, and really sells the player on why this is great.
93
Keep it brief, like describing five or ten minutes of gameplay.
94
But do describe it for yourself in detail.
95
Why it's amazing.
96
Why it will leave them odd.
97
Can you do that?
98
Because if you can, you might just have your winner.
99
Because really, anything can be an idea for a game.
100
The difficult part is actually separating the ones that made it through your ideas list gauntlet, and the ones that got crossed off along the way.
101
And that's done by thinking not about just the idea itself, but the execution.
102
All of the things that determine what it's going to be like when it's brought to life.
103
If you've gone through all of the above steps, you should not only have an idea that you're confident in, but one that you've really kicked the tires on.
104
One where you've found the flaws and contradictions that require a little bit closer inspection.
105
But more importantly, you should now be practically ready to pitch it to anyone.
106
You know why this is good.
107
You know who it's for you know what the budget needs to be.
108
You know this idea is good, so go turn it into a reality.
109
Though if you are feeling a little bit mentally pooped from this episode's creative exercise, might I suggest a pick -me -up from our friends over at Trade Coffee?

इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- 0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर grind, puzzle, bean जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
