Hi Ther
e!
Game Design…or that freeloading “idea person” on your hackathon
team
Where do you
begin?
• Begin by setting constraints
• Begin with technology
• Begin by representing some part of your world
• Begin by telling a story
• Begin with a mood, feeling or phrase
• Begin with another game
• Begin by adding things together
• Begin by subtracting
A beginning is a delicate time.
