This forum is for Video Game Theories and Ideas. Here you can talk about general ideas like:

• Puzzle creation
• Pre-established staples of video game design
• Battles
• Theories of AI
• Genres of Gameplay
• What makes games good or bad
• Narrative via games
• Rough system ideas that can be applied to the entire genre

And all the things you'd generally see in Theory & Design. However we have a board for writing creatively should you have questions specifically about your writing. Remember, this is a rough guideline to help you decide if you should post your topic here.

Topic Examples-

• Random Encounters - Are they bad for a game?
• Save Points - Why do some games have them and others don't?
• What's your favorite game puzzles? - I'd like to know what some people enjoy

Things in this forum should not advertise a game you're making; nor rely on hard numbers, the game engine, stats from your game, systems, etc.; or anything that would tie the discussion to your specific game or the platform you're making it on.
