Key design elements are:
· The business context is important as is the design shape, both are used to refine each other after each stage.
· Finance is also a big factor, which determines to what detail the game can be designed to.
· The design of the whole game will be based on a concise games concept.
· The theoretical games design.
· The technical design side of it.
· The software and approach used for the actual implementation.
· Appropriate prototypes.
· The games development teams i.e. the programmers, animators, actors etc.
· User requirements. This needs to be captured so that the game is user orientated.
· Brainstorming the features of the game by doing use case diagrams.
