Creative Design

Product Idea

1. Idea

The process of the creative development starts with an idea. That said idea is compared to other existing designs (e.g. games, markets, etc.). It is passed through multiple people to see how it is perceived and whether the idea is actually marketable. If so its goes to the next stage

2. Initialization

If the idea is marketable, the first iteration is made. A rough draft to see what the feasibility of the idea is. At this point, the idea will have a simple market pitch. For instance: “You play as dan trying to ruin him financially as quickly as possible”. Alongside the early development, market data is collected from small sample sets. Mainly from the VX Core Community

3. Development

Full Development is started. Alongside the development, marketability is further considered. Additionally Lore and storyline begins to form. A major part of the creative design process

4. Confirmed Development

A few months after development, the marketability of the product is evaluated. Its either abandoned, continued, or reworked
