You please. Do not underestimate the ability to ‘just’ deploy to console/PC, then as a budding designer be able to send an island num across with your CV. The future is transparent systems where you don’t have to worry about packaging up your stuff and just focus on making it ace
Here’s my #gamedesign tip for the future. Get stuck into unreal engine for fortnite. Fully featured level editor, pre-built combat mechanics and a powerful scripting language in the form of verse. Plus, millions of players all ready to play your creations on whatever platform
Show value. Be clear about what you’re going to do with the ideas. Which go forward and why. If people feel they aren’t being listened to they’ll stop contributing.
Don’t hinder. As long as they’re inside the boundaries, no idea is stupid. People need the opportunity to clear their minds of stuck ideas and work through concepts.
