I'm ready for the next journey. Let's take the mind for a ride.

After finis3hing up the Runner Runner project, I want to quickly create a bunch of prototypes of all the ideas in my mind.

There are a few reasons for this:
• Try something new every week
• Learn and improve skills through highly diverse projects
• Be quicker with testing ideas
• Get even more used to scrapping ideas

Imagine testing and prototyping an idea to see if it’s fun and worth exploring further in just a week 📅

Compared to: having this one idea you really love and want to implement that takes weeks, months or even years and eventually finding out that either your idea or your execution sucks.

This idea of quickly testing an idea and answering critical questions comes from the Google Ventures Design Sprint. It’s totally worth reading and even more doing it yourself.

A few of the ideas I have in mind for games



I created a special outline to get the whole idea into the right format:

• What’s the idea I want to prototype this week (short pitch)
• An image to help explain the idea

• How I work(ed) on it (short description)

• What I actually achieved this week
• What I learned from this experience
• Video / Download / Web Playable Prototype

I will post the first idea and the outline in a few days, so stay tuned 📻
