This course is about how to start further developing your game idea, and how to polish this game idea from scratch to a game development plan and how to eventually develop the game!

Pre planning will save your time and money, you won't waste them on projects that are out of scope, outdated or impossible to develop - because you will get good and solid information and data about your game idea by pre planning it first!

This pre planning phase includes several parts for you to follow, and after these parts it's much easier to see if your idea is good enough for prototyping or even development.

First we start with game idea

1. Make the initial definition for the Game idea

2. Do some Market research and check reference games

3. Think about the Platform(s) and Monetization

Then we polish the game idea

1. Create vision of graphic style and technic

2. Do some first versions of wireframes and flowcharts

3. Do some planning on UX and Usability

Finally we make the plan more solid

1. Find out what kind of team is needed for development

2. Think about the general workflow and timetable of game development

3. Do an estimate for the price of the development

4. Plan the next steps

Ideally this course is meant for small and medium sized Indie game teams, starting with their initial game ideas. And to people who dream about making games and building their own team for it, and want to learn the process of developing a game idea into a game development plan - and ultimately to develop the game!
