# [How to find amazing game ideas](https://youtube.com/watch?v=0m60QbT85Tc) — Mark Brown for GMTK <div class=iframe-container> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/0m60QbT85Tc?si=k4sQIJuGcAwegW2F" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> Mark Brown, a master of vertical integration at this point, has kickstarted a new series titled Game Dev 101. Taking lessons learned from developing and releasing his own game—Mind Over Magnet—and turning said lessons into a educational videos about the process. Along the way are examples, interviews, etc. The first video is all about ideas and where to find them. My takeaway though is you can scratch the ~~game~~ right out of the title. These are just excellent tips on the pursuit of a great idea. From the principle that everything is indeed a remix, to reading, reading, reading, and engaging with interests outside of your creation-to-be, you can apply this level of thinking to any field. I encourage you to think like that while watching.
