Game:

  •  Super Chicken Jumper, Super Meat Boy, Binding of Isaac, Incredible Crisis, Parappa the Rapper
  •  There is no one right idea
  •  Making absolutely insane ideas
  •  Letting people look at you funny
  •  Confidence in yourself

  •  Shoutout to Fev Games: Suddenly Bird 
  •  What ideas, wild or mundane, keep sticking in your head?
  •  Do you have a "nah, I can't make that, no one will like it," idea?
  •  What do you have to lose by making something? (genuinely, what are the sacrifices)
  •  Take time to listen to yourself.
