Paper Prototyping
Innovation is at the heart of everything we do at Modality Studios. As an indie game startup, we're constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, creating immersive experiences that captivate and inspire. One of our secret weapons? Paper prototyping!
What is Paper Prototyping?
Before diving into code or opening any complex software, our designers start with the basics—sketching ideas on paper. This method may seem simple, but it’s a powerful tool in our development arsenal. Paper prototyping involves creating rough, hand-drawn versions of game interfaces, environments, and mechanics. These sketches are then used to simulate gameplay, allowing our team to test ideas quickly and efficiently.
Why Paper Prototyping?
In the fast-paced world of game development, time is of the essence. Paper prototyping allows us to iterate rapidly and explore creative solutions without the need for time-consuming development. This quick and inexpensive method is crucial for an indie startup like ours, where resources are limited, but creativity is limitless.
By sketching out ideas on paper, we can spot potential issues early in the process, saving valuable time and effort later on. It’s a low-risk, high-reward strategy that keeps our team agile and our ideas flowing.
