Things to Remember
- Take some time to think of an idea, don’t just go with the first thing that jumps into your head, develop it!
- Always bring something to the table, avoid simply bringing a question without an answer!
- Make sure your idea is within the limitations of the game!
- What kind of idea do you have? Where does it fit in the game? Time to do some research!
- Remember you’re making a suggestion for the current development of the game, your idea might be better as a mod as the community gets it’s hands on Longvinter!
- Make sure that your suggestions hasn’t already been put on the official Longvinter Roadmap!
- Spare a thought for all of your fellow members who have great ideas, check to see if anyone has the same idea as you in @Bunn’s thread, great minds think alike. Also use the search function.
- Take your time on the presentation, it’s the most important, a good idea presented poorly could well end up being ignored or misunderstood. Use the opportunity to reflect and improve upon your idea.
- Give context and structure to your idea, describe how it contributes to the game especially if your idea is a mechanic.
- Consider using diagrams if you need to put across a difficult and complex subject in a simple manner.
- For UX / UI Game Design Concepts feel free to look at @Bunn’s thread.
- Keep it short and simple for the most part but make sure you get the depth in!
- Adopt a format or template, love it and stroke it, it’s your new best friend. It’ll make things easy for you to plan and easy for your potential mindslave to read!
- Use relative terms when describing something e.g. Low strength High armour, balance isn’t something you can plan for.
- Use examples to help get your point across.
- Listen to feedback and use it to improve your idea or discuss the implications further with the community.
