DESIGN PROCESS

Plan your ideas to make them come true!
This was part of my ideation process.
I can't explain everything in four pictures but I will try :)

Laying out the ideas

I've started writing down all my ideas, looking for existing references and sources of inspiration. Sometimes I write down questions, names, mechanics, genres, colors, pictures, etc. Whatever works for me! :)

Creation Process

With the idea defined, I've started to filter ideas by removing and refining.
Then I've made a prototype so I could make a first test of those ideas and learn from the valuable Feedback and the playtest experience.

Testing with Users

Testing certain tasks and mechanics it's very important on this step. Pay attention to the user's behavior, questions, doubts, etc. Write down everything relevant, such as date, timeplay, etc.

Prototype & Iterations

After getting the user's feedback, and once you've tested it with many different people (players and non-players) and found bugs, it's time to balance rules, come out with new ideas, remove or add components.
