The Lens of Inherent Interest

Some things are just interesting. Use this lens to be sure your game has inherently interesting qualities by asking these questions:

• What aspects of my game will capture the interest of a player immediately?
• Does my game let the players see or do something they have never seen or done before?
• What base instincts does my game appeal to? Can it appeal to more of them?
• What higher instincts does my game appeal to? Can it appeal to more of those?
• Does dramatic change and anticipation of dramatic change happen in my game? How can it be more dramatic?
