Answer five questions on one page

Who is the game for? What will players do? Which character will appear? Where will it run? How will you assess success? Add your channel link and character files that can be shared.

Explain what you like about references

A game link needs context: do you like its controls, colours or level length? Separate essential features for the first release from ideas you may explore later.

Use a small example

A sample brief might request one short browser level, played on phones, with your own mascot and a collecting mechanic. Add a target date, budget range and approver. This is an illustrative scope.
