"Thinking and looking at ways other media tell stories -- that it’s not to do with words but rather images, color, and sound -- is key." @Brooke_Maggs

Game designers: test game designs at the idea stage. Meaning: pitch concepts your gamer friends. Ask them to pick their favorites. Wait til they go gaga over one. THEN design a game to fully realize that concept. Reduces the chance you'll design something no one cares about.

Designing animal AI can be simplified to fight/flight and wild/tame/mount. Don’t waste you and your devs time
