A collection of doodles, sketches, and scrap-paper designs by game developers around the world!

Game developers love brainstorming: they use notepads, whiteboards, napkins, Photoshop... anything they can dump ideas onto! They make calculations, lay out interfaces, doodle character designs, and collect their thoughts. Unfortunately, these glorious scraps almost always get thrown away, and rarely get looked at again. This is a creative museum where I collect and share the best of these scraps, to both preserve them and let them inspire others.

Note

Submit Yours!
Submit your own game design sketches, doodles, or brainstorms! If you want an idea of what you can/should submit, here are some suggestions:
- Notepad/looseleaf/napkin sketches are great! Either take a photo or scan them and send them our way.
- Blackboard/whiteboard sketches are golden, because they never last long, and should be preserved!
- If you brainstorm/sketch in photoshop, paint, or in your art tool of choice instead of on paper, those are accepted as well!
- Problem-solving brainstorms are encouraged, such as trying to figure out an algorithm, pathfinding, or math problems. These always inspire, and also look insane!
- When submitting, give as much context as you can to the post. Tell us where it happened, who did it, and what it was for. If I find it more effective/humorous to post it and leave this info out, I will do so, but when submitting please give me as much of this info as you can!
Requirements:
- Your name (real or preferred online handle).
- Link to your website/portfolio/blog/twitter/etc. so people can see your games/etc.
- Your country of origin, and hometown if possible (unless you are uncomfortable sharing that info). I like to post this with the sketches so people get a nice sense of game development scope.
- Submitting multiple photos is fine. If they are all somewhat related, though, put them all in one submission instead of in a separate one each.
