INTRODUCTION
Game designer is a broader concept for the video game development. It is a process which
involves use of design and creativity in order to improvise for make a game either for
entertainment purpose for educational purpose(Abuzuraiq, Alsalman and Erhan, 2020). Game
design provides for several principles with benefits the games like Card games Casino games
board games War games for many other. This report contains various methods of Idea generation
to support the development of game. There are several factors which contribute to the generation
of successful idea and help to create a game design proposal. This report also contains a
functional game prototype through iterative testing and revision and highlights game play
mechanism testing and development process.
TASK 1
Discuss idea generation techniques used by industry practitioners
Design of a game starts with generation of an idea in mind of a game designer. There is not any
book which helps to learn about how to generate or produce better ideas. In order to generate
new and innovative ideas game designers can use four techniques which are used for creating
ideas. Do this techniques are used to create ideas but many of them are designs to solve the
problems only. The four techniques of Idea generation are explained below:
 Concentration: It is the most common method which is used by an individual for Idea
generation and most importantly it is used without any training. Concentration states that
an individual merely think until they have an idea. In day to day life, every individual
gets a lot of excellent ideas when they visit on the way. According to research it is
observed that the change in the environment influence the idea generation(Abuzuraiq,
Alsalman and Erhan, 2020). It states that thinking in a constant atmosphere will generate
same ideas again and again while changing the atmosphere result in generation of new
ideas in an individual. Further a positive change in the environment affects the generation
of ideas and in order to generate more ideas a person can use some techniques like write
an unknown root take away in an unusual time and many more.
