Guided collaborative ideation transforms a starting brief into a structured game concept document using professional studio techniques. It progresses through interactive phases from initial discovery to final concept polishing to ensure a complete design output.

Game concept generation applies three distinct professional studio techniques: Verb-First Design, the Mashup Method, and Experience-First Design. These methods help systematically explore and structure distinct gameplay ideas during the discovery phase.

This studio-style ideation applies across both solo and team projects. It handles genre hints or open briefs, adapting the collaborative design workflow to fit individual developers or larger creative groups effectively.

A complete game concept document includes MDA analysis, player motivations, and flow-state design. It generates at .opcode/docs/templates/game-concept.md alongside a production-ready pre-production plan with next steps and MVP recommendations.

After finalizing a game concept, the workflow outputs a production-ready pre-production plan. This provides actionable next steps, design-system mapping, and MVP recommendations to guide the transition from ideation to actual development.
