When starting the Development of a New Game
When starting the development of a new game, ask yourself:
What’s your superpower?
Because games with a clear superpower succeed.
↳ They build loyal communities.
↳ They attract players.
↳ They leave a mark.
Your superpower is your game’s identity.
It’s what players remember.
So, pinpoint it.
Embrace it.
• Is it a unique mechanic?
• A gripping story?
• Or maybe stunning visuals?
Identifying this early helps focus your team.
It guides decisions.
It shapes the player experience.
So before you dive deep, ask yourself:
What makes our game truly special?
