Tips for collaborative work
- Ideation: everyone jots down ideas on paper, and then shares
- Social awareness: listening to and accepting other people's ideas
- Improvisation: cultivate curiosity about unpredicted results
- Division of labor: everyone contributes according to their favorite talents
Presentations
Each group: create a design document with the following:
- Name of the game (with the finished title)
- List of group members, with their professional roles (artist, level designer, writer, etc)
- Photos of all sketches
- Brief writing of concepts, ideas, etc.
