Well imagine wanting to make a game but you don't have any ideas for a game? This means you need inspiration first! The first half of this article is about getting inspiration! and the second about what to do with it

What can you do to get inpsirastion?
- play games.
- go out on the street.
- watch movies.
- read books.

By doing this you can come up with ideas. You might play an old gamecube or ps2 game and see things you might not have thought off. You might see something happen in the street that might be fun in a game! Or you see a movie that you can make a game of or even a book!! Anything that comes up in your head is inspiration so you want as much of that as possible! You can even just talk to people and they might have ideas for you or you can make charcaters of your friends!!!

Now when you get inspiration the next thing to do is: write it down!! You can have a good idea but now you must not forget about it, otherwise the idea is gone again! so write it down on the spot on paper or in notepad. you can also make little scethces of what the characters will look like or the levels. When writing down make sure:
- write everthing down
- draw as much as possible
- make sure you don't lose your notes!

After every thing has been written down it is time to structure it so you can use it to make a game. You now have a whole bunch of notes and droodles which is not organised enough. Tips for this are:
- sum things up
- put every thing in the right cathegory
- make sure other people can understand it if you work with a team
- make a list of things to do

When this is done you can start your actual game! Whoo!!
