Work on your design more.  A lot more.  And quit ripping off Lionhead.

Quote:

So you want to get your idea made into a working electronic game.
There are two ways for you to follow up on this dream.

1. DIY -- Do It Yourself. Execute the idea into a game yourself, training yourself along the way as a game designer and/or programmer and/or artist, etc.

2. DIFTI -- Do It From The Inside. (You're "outside" the game biz at the moment.) Write your idea into a formal game design document, training yourself along the way as a game designer. Write more design documents too. Then, with those designs in hand, go to a game company (a developer or publisher) and take a job -- ANY job. The designs will help you get your foot in the door, but it's unlikely that anybody will want to make your idea into a game or hire you as an apprentice game designer. The designs may never get made, but now you're in the biz -- and you can learn & grow within it, and eventually make other original designs if you're good.

- Both of those paths (#1 and 2 above) require the same first step: writing a formal game design document. You have to do it. All by yourself. Do you want to be a game designer? Or are you just a person with one idea that'll never go anywhere because you can't be bothered to spend the effort? If the latter, you can just stop reading right now. If the former, keep on reading.

The primary goals of a game design are to (1) excite and (2) inform the reader.

First paragraph must excite the reader and make the reader want to read more of the first page.

The first page must be interesting, concise, and informative, and must make the reader want to read the remaining pages.
