What’s your game’s core "verb"?
🌱 Grow
🧱 Build
🗡️ Fight
💡 Solve
Your entire design should support that one core action.

Game dev is 50% design, 50% mechanics, and 100% player experience.

Learn how players think, not just how games are made.

🎯 What emotion do you want players to feel?

Then build a mechanic that creates it.
This is how “game feel” starts to, well, feel fun.

Look for ideas that jump out at you, and spend 15 minutes freewriting concepts for related rules or themes (whatever is missing). Keep doing this with new ideas until you hit one that resonates!

Have you ever met this NPC in RoboQuest?

It's not just there to heal you when you need it.

You can also damage it, without killing it, so you can try out your new weapons.

Good design solves many problems.

Most beginner game devs make the same mistake:
They start building their dream game.
You need a starter game.
✅ 1 mechanic
✅ 1 level
✅ 1 week of work
Build to learn, not to impress.

You don’t need 100 features.
You need 1 mechanic that’s fun to do over and over.

Simple > Complex.
