Quotes (from this video)
  • Creativity rarely works that way.
  • So, SCAMPER is essentially a checklist, seven letters each representing a different approach that you could take to modify an existing product.
  • Most ideas will be bad, but occasionally, a prompt forces you into a design space you would never have explored otherwise.
  • SCAMPER will create weird and wacky games, innovative new takes on a tried and tested formula. And that's great, but commercially, without an understanding of your potential audience, it's a shot in the dark.
  • Your player persona is there to help you with your own focus. It acts as a lens through which you can view your developing game, a different set of eyes to your own.
