Genre Decision

First thing i should decide is what genre the game will be since that will impact the research and the processes of looking at gameplay.

Examples of genres:

First Person Shooter

Third Person Shooter

Platformer

Point and Click

Survival

Arcade

In the end i decided on using point and click due to me recently playing a few point and click games but also due to the being able to write a very text based game design document. The decision to make the game to be affected by your choices also affected the choice.
