How do you guys come up with ideas for your game? I don't really know what to make most of the time.

I ask the AI, and after about 1.5 hours, the idea comes up by itself.

We think of a codename for the game. After that, think what gameplay can fit for it.

Don't worry, just think and throw out ideas until you come up with something cohesive.

thanks guys

I really wanted to try a turn-based strategy prototype so that was my start (topdown 2d + turns + selectable units). I didn't want to do any shooting in my game so turrets became a final reward for the game :) The ads are meant to influence people so I went with area control mechanics.
