Detailed Plan
Player experience goals are set.
An idea or system is conceived.
An idea or system is formalized (i.e., written downor prototyped).
An idea or system is tested against player experiencegoals (i.e., play-tested or exhibited for feedback).
Results are evaluated and prioritized.

Ideas FactoryPreparation: Preparation is becoming immersed in a topic or domain of interest, a set of problematic issues.
Incubation: Incubation is a period of time in which ideas “churn around” below the threshold of consciousness
Insight: Insight is sometimes called the “aha!” moment, when the pieces of puzzle, or an idea, fall together.
Evaluation: Evaluation is when the person decides whether the insight is valuable and worth pursuing. Is the idea really original?
Elaboration: Elaboration is the longest part of the creative process; it takes the most time and is the hardest.
