Game Dev First Steps

stanestane/game-dev-first-steps

Help a beginner or early-stage indie team turn a game idea into a practical starting plan. Use when someone asks how to start making a game, what to build first, how to approach development order, how to scope a concept for a solo dev, duo, or small team, or how to turn a rough game idea into a sensible first prototype or pitchable vertical slice. Ask a few core questions about the concept, team size, skill mix, platform, scope, release intent, and constraints, then recommend a simple development strategy with build order, risks, what to postpone, and concrete next steps.
