ok let's talk โจ cut content โจ
TL;DR: making a game is a constant management and reevaluation of priorities vs scope, vision, quality and time. throughout this process as many things get added as removed.
I also, fwiw, find that one of the more frustrating blockers to writing is when thereโs already a (bad) suggestion of what you should say. You are no longer able to organically find the idea because the suggestion in front of you knocks you off the track of your natural thought process.
When you're writing a tabletop roleplaying game, the mechanics should evoke the atmosphere you want in your story.
A simple example: we're writing a cozy woodland mystery game. What are the combat mechanics like? Well, clearly there aren't any. Combat isn't part of our cozy woodland story.

A graph titled Scope of video games according to Hushcrasher Classification System. The Y axis shows Game Size (from 10 MB to 100GB), the X axis shows Credits count (sourced from Mobygames). The clustered dots on the graph represent 4 distinct scale categories of games - Kei, Midi, AA, AAA. The larger correlation between the size and the credits means larger category of a game.
I love this analytical take on video game categorization from Antoine Mayerowitz and Julie Belzanne:

Instead of trying to vibe-intuit the definition of an "indie" game, the authors analyzed the data from the perspective of game size and credits length

Recently finished the Gogmagog duology and canโt recommend them enough. Gorgeously surreal, alternate-universe post-war London, where the worldbuilding is the draw but the rich prose is what hooks you. The best written fantasy Iโve read in a long while.
I saw a #writing advice thread going around yesterday and I have some advice specifically for game writers: don't bury your own voice

Most successful indie games may feel they're "perfect," but it's their imperfection that makes them feel that way, giving them character and innovative systems.
