Create a Reboot Game

Groundwork

Design the idea

On paper · outside the editor

Before touching the editor, define the game idea, its levels and its characters, and above all the relationships between levels and characters (which character sees which level, who speaks on each level). This upfront design determines which later steps you'll actually need.

Decide now: number of languages, game mode (GPS or free), whether there will be AI, and whether the game is standalone or an instance that reuses another game's content.
