(Early / Ad Free) How to come up with great game ideas

Hey Patrons!

This video is going out to the world tomorrow, so here's your early and ad free version!

This is the first episode in a new series I'll be releasing throughout 2025 where I break down the indie game production pipeline - from ideation through prototyping, production, and so on.

This is the penultimate draft so there's a little more to change before final release - we're currently having a debate on the Discord about whether games really do need win states and lose states - so lemme know if you have any feedback!

Cheers

Mark

So far the Discord has avoided trying to define what a 'genre' is but knowing our weaknesses, it's only a matter of time

Fun fact: I just recently listened to an episode of the great podcast "Stay Forever" where they talk about old games (it's German). In this episode they discussed Pikmin and I learned that Shigeru Myamoto only joined the game in a later state. He even publicly admitted the story about "I got inspired by watching ants" was only marketing bla bla and never true.
