Coming up with the latest and greatest video game ideas takes skill, a great deal of original thought, and observation. Some of the best video game creators suggest researching what is already out there, and noting what is working or not working. Also, being mindful of your surroundings and everyday life is very important. Many games that are very successful are so because the characters and storyline are relatable. Discuss how you keep your idea machine running hot!

"The first rule of thumb for me is to play a lot of video games! If I am unsure what is out there, what is working, and where existing games could be improved, it would be a serious challenge for me to come up with workable ideas. Also, I am very active in the gaming community and follow many forums. I want to see what people are saying about the world's most popular games."

I am a big gamer myself, so I play a lot of different games. I also stream and have a small community with who we talk about games and what they would like to see. I get inspired by games, good stories, and also looking at how people play games. I take notes and write really short GDD when I think an idea could be developed in the future. This is what I did when I made my own mobile game.
