Demystifying Creativity: On Originality in Game Development
This book explores the psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy of creativity, originality, and inspiration through the lens of game development. It introduces the concept of creative sobriety, a practice that helps better understand our own sources of inspiration to drive our creative voice closer to originality.
By examining the improvised dance between conscious and subconscious mind, knowledge, experience, intuition, observation, imagination, and projection, this book presents practical and theoretical approaches to originality and game concept generation. It covers topics such as innovation, the creative process, auteurship, collaboration, and creative vision, making it of interest to students of game design and creative professionals in the industry.
