Game Design Sequence in Five Convenient Points

1) Choose a goal and a topic

Your goal as a game designer, decide what kind of emotions and feelings your game will evoke. Once that is set, choose a topic.

2) Research and preparation

Once you have your topic, research it. Don't write any code yet, just do research on the topic. Assess the topic, is it fun/interesting enough to make a game about? what are good/bad points about the topic?

3) Enter the design phase
