To brainstorm a cohesive game concept, use a phase-driven workflow that iterates through discovery, core loop, pillars, and scope to produce a finalized game-concept document.

Yes, you can expand an existing game design document during ideation by reading existing concept material like game-concept.md and game-pillars.md and building upon them interactively.

A phase-driven game ideation workflow guides users sequentially through discovery, concept generation, core loop definition, pillars, player validation, and scope to finalize a structured design.

Yes, collaborative game concept generation works for solo developers because the interactive guided prompts support both solo and team brainstorming sessions equally.

The best way to structure a game design doc for pre-production is to output a complete game-concept document at design/gdd/game-concept.md and follow the provided next steps.

Limitations of guided game concept brainstorming include its strict focus on ideation and concept generation, meaning it outputs a design document rather than executable game code or assets.
