1)Brainstorm 20-50 ideas. You need to consider what the game will be about, what form it will take, how many players will be required, what kind of game is it (computer, board, outdoor, text-based, hybrid)
2)Come up with a name for your game.
3)Write a short statement that describes your game.
4)Describe what type of game it will be (hint: choose a form you feel confident you can make well)
