A group of clever Finnish researchers have gathered all the materials they produced in a project where they looked at creativity and innovation techniques for game design. If you manage to plough through the unwieldy Flash interface you’ll find a PDF of a booklet that came with an ideation kit they sent to games companies. It’s a useful resource that lead a group of my students to create some really interesting concepts. It’s sure to stay in my toolbelt for times to come.
