Ideations can help develop the idea and make it into something unique or original by having its own twist. Some ideations can help express what we are doing with our own creations. Video games is a great way to use ideations in game development.

Ideation techniques
For ideation techniques I had used:
- Brainstorming
When coming up with ideations, I was brainstorming with ideas and ideations to use for my game which I created through mind-mapping.
- Mindmapping
I created a mind map of ideas on Mind Manager. From there I brainstormed my ideas and linked certain ideas together into one to incorporate from one idea to another.
Other ideations techniques I would use are: - Brainwriting
Brainwriting involves teamwork and brainstorming. They write down their ideas on pen and paper for game ideations and problems. They pass their written ideas to another participant.
- Storyboarding
Storyboarding sets up the script and pre-visualization materials of the story. Explaining and explore the story of the game. How will the story play out? How does the story present itself? What is the synopsis and premise of the game?
