My Game Design Tip: Write it down!

I have been keeping a few notebooks of game design ideas and and other thoughts related to game development. It is useful for me because my memory has never been picture perfect.

My Game Development Notebooks

Occasionally I pull it out to reference during a conversation with other game development students here at the University. I’ll say something like, “I was thinking about that very same thing the other day…” and then share what I had jotted down.

However, I was surprised and honored when I walked back into the room one day to find out that while I had stepped out, the conversation had revolved around my notebook and what they wouldn’t do to get a copy of it.

Many of my current projects are based on ideas I have scribbled down in the middle of the night. So my advice… keep a notebook of your ideas. Because if you’re anything like me, you’ve forgotten more than you’ll ever know.
