When we talk about art and creativity, we have all heard the saying that “everything has already been done once”. Fawzi Mesum challenged this concept in GDC 2025, explaining that ideas can be repeated, but these are our own experiences that consider a common and make it creatively unique.

The biggest obstacle to the development of the game is emerging with a story. Whether you are trying to encourage your farmer to advance your farmer in a comfortable SIM or get out of the strange world of a terrible game, we all aim to make it unique, original and attractive.

An original and creative idea can be the key to a successful game. But what makes the idea original? Mesmar has certain advice for people who want to use creativity and repeat the hollow.

We are what we see

From the beginning, the demolition pressed the listeners with this question “What is the creativity?” He explained that the concept of creativity is often misunderstood as “creating something”. Instead, he broke it as a “an idea that is unique”. “What we do affects us,” he said, “and this is the inspiration that creates unique ideas.

In the development of the game we see trends as some concepts with influence on authors and designers. This is especially notable in the new gods, which may have gone out to play a game completely because they were influenced by a particular title when they were young.

Achieving ‘creative sobriety’ in game design

Through the relevant

In a comfortable genre, for example, it is a joke that in recent years, almost every farming summon is a main character that is “trying to avoid a big city” for a more provincial, comfortable life. The reason for this is how many comfortable players were impressed and grew up with Harwest Moon and the likes Valley Stardo.

However, the only ingredients are not enough. As we have seen in the recent release Cigarette IslandCopying what works with other sports does not have to be creative. However, the titles like The farm of Mistaria Popularity is torn, and is celebrated for their creative and fresh elements. The difference between the two is how the developers inject their personal experiences in the title.

Cigarette Island There are all the right ingredients for the farm’s SIM. Players can raise and sell their crops and products craft, fields, animals. However, it lacks a depth beyond the basic mechanics, which the players are bored and are not satisfied with the game play loop.

The farm of Mistaria Injection to the “D&D” tabletup game played in the pub on Friday uses unique, reflective of the 90s and plot points like a mobile phone. It is original, unique and charming, even if it is similar to other farming Sims.

The way here is that the creative idea must be much more than playing a game around other sports selection. It needs depth, originality and intention. “The originality is making some novels,” and they have an important advice for those who try to get it, the demolition says.

Game designers need to create intentions

“You need to see yourself and understand your experiences and obstacles,” Mesmar explained.

To do this, creations need to see a concept and think about how their own experiences in life can apply to it. Instead of making a cultivation game where you plant and sell them, you may have to make a game of farming where you have to teach the NPC how to help the garden, as you can be with a family member in childhood. This game can be focused around the promoted community garden and selling crops in the co -operative or outdoor market. By diving into personal experiences, creativity opens into the original and unique concepts, whether based on something ordinary and relevant.

In addition, the demolition says “real ideas need value.” You may have the basic reminder of raising your childhood cat, but is the value of this experience? If you have made a cat pitting game, how will it connect or provide something to a player? If you have the basic memory of raising your cat and you are intended to reach cats and make them PE Pets of points where you intend to transform it into a hypertensive pet groomer simulator or plateformer, where we are now talking about the fact. Who does not want cats to fight the beds to collect cats like a prize tokens?

Creative patience is deliberately and deliberate about the thoughts that we prepare. The demolition encourages people who are trying to stop their creativity, think and meditate behind their ideas. You will have the ability to create a really unique and exciting stories to consider how a concept is connected to you and how it can be used to reach others.
