• Where in the world - this world, another world, another galaxy, in a cupboard (Like MIB)

• Who are your characters - People, Aliens, Robots, Animals etc

• What is your back story to your game starting

• What is the narrative of your game

• What is the purpose of the game

• How do you know you have achieved the aim of your game - what happens at the end

• What is the theme of your game - sci-fi, fantasy, action, adventure, history

• What is the platform - FPS, MMORPG, Strategic, Survival, Third person, Sand Box, OPEN WORLD etc
  where is a set _ countryside, (URBAN), City, Space, Forests etc

• Think about the graphics that you will need to create the animatic as we will have different layers to create the parallax - Backgrounds (Foreground, Midground and Background, Running layer)

• Additional Assets to build on the 3D aspect and give your game depth - Additional elements eg if a forest, trees, mushrooms, shrubs, flowers, cabins, animals, etc

You have your initial game idea and as you work your way through learning new perspectives add these to your game idea to show your understanding.
