Think about the things that you can include in your game. You’ll need to undergo a lot of brainstorming in order to do that. Don’t worry too much about the designing, coding and programming of your idea. Instead just keep on coming with random ideas. Let your creativity do its job in generating different content that could help you in developing content for your game. You can watch other virtual communities in order to understand what you want to include in your community. Try to get inspired while generating ideas. Don’t let it stress you out.
