Generating Ideas

Creating game ideas

For the next phase me Izzy and Maja decided to team up, combing mine and Izzy’s themes of paparazzi and serial killers.

To come up with ideas, me and Izzy decided to generate some separately by making mind maps.

Group Meeting

04/11/2024

On Monday me, Izzy and Maja had a group meeting to talk about what we want to achieve within the next two weeks. This was preparation for our presentation of three concepts, during week 9.

Following on from the mind maps we made, we then had to make the difficult decision of saying yes or no to each concept made. We came to a mutual agreement by ticking the ideas for yes, or crossing for no.


After this process, we managed to knock 24 concepts down to 9! however, to move forward we needed to get rid of a few more.

Maja listed the 9 ideas where we then each had about 5-6 ticks each. Each tick indicated that we wanted to continue with that concept.

As you can see, the top voted were numbers:

  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 9

Google Forms

As we were a bit stuck on what ideas to proceed with, we created a Google Forms with a title and brief summary of each idea. Izzy kindly put this together for us and sent it out Via Slack and Discord so we could receive both peers and teachers opinions.

Below are the descriptions we came up with.

Results

Out of the 5 ideas on the google forms, the most voted ended up being out of focus, anonymous provider and broken lens. On top of this we also received some nice written feedback and it was great to see what part of the concept they liked and why.


Anonymous Provider Research

For this Phase I have chosen to move forward with Anonymous Provider, meanwhile Izzy will be focusing on out of focus and Maja has chosen Broken Lens.
