Use when a game idea is still vague and needs pillars, verbs, and an acceptance bar before implementation.

Game Concept Brainstorm

Goal

Lock the game fantasy before architecture or implementation.

Outputs

Follow the gsp-orchestrator output strategy:

inline (default): present concept brainstorm and requirements in conversation.
minimal or full: write docs/game-studio/concept-brainstorm.md and docs/game-studio/requirements.md.

Use ../../shared/templates/concept-brainstorm.md.

Workflow

Restate the player fantasy in one sentence.
Lock the primary verb, the reward loop, and the first 30-second promise.
Lock the game shape before coding: camera / view model, movement grammar, obstacle or encounter grammar, fail / retry rhythm, and visual anchor.
Define 3-4 design pillars.
Separate must-haves from experiments.
Ask enough high-value questions to remove shape ambiguity. Good question types: subtype, references, control grammar, failure rhythm, visual anchor, and “what must beat baseline.”
For benchmark or one-prompt builds, spend more tokens here than feels comfortable if ambiguity remains.
Feed the result into gsp-requirements-brainstorm, gsp-scope-profile, and gsp-ux-flow-designer.

Important

If the prompt uses an archetype word that can imply multiple valid game forms, do not silently choose one and move on. Examples: runner, shooter, breakout. Write the chosen interpretation explicitly so downstream skills inherit a locked shape instead of improvising. Do not optimize for asking fewer questions. Optimize for asking the fewest questions that still fully lock the concept.
