About game design and development mind maps
GoConqr OriginalExplore game design and development mind maps
The maps bring together ideas for planning games and thinking about how they work. Imedia - Video game proposal branches into settings and possible environments, while 2D Game Ideas compares visual styles. Other maps explore gamification, game concepts and clicker projects.
Choose a starting point
For a project-focused route, open the video game proposal and follow its branches about player choice and environments. Then look at Existing Clicker Games alongside My Clicker Game to explore maps with different project starting points. If you are interested in design frameworks, try the map on the formal approach to game design and research.
Use the maps to revise
Read a branch, cover it, and write down the ideas you remember before checking the map again. Compare related maps to see how their creators organise a topic. When you want a different way to practise, switch to a quiz or flashcards on the unit page. Choose a map and make your own notes from it.
