High Concept Statement

This should be one to three paragraphs that describe your game in a concise fashion. Remember, your goal
is to sell your vision to others. Make it compelling! It should answer:

What does the player do? (interactivity)


Why do they do it? (player motivation)
Where does the player do it? (setting, story, narration)
What are the constraints on the player? (core mechanics)
What sort of emotion is this game trying to evoke in the player? (affect)
How is this game unique? What differentiates it from other games? (defining elements and
competitive analysis)

Feature Set

Create a series of features for the game to support the high-concept statement. At this point the features
should be written in a succinct manner, probably in a bulleted list. The details will be flushed out later.
Highlight the features that are unique selling points for the game.
Team Roles

Define the roles each team member will perform on the team.
