Uniqueness guidelines for games

[marwin89]

What

• Create central and official uniqueness guidelines for all games.
• These guidelines define unique features of the games
• Simple, just some keywords and as a infographic like create style guidelines for all games #29
• (optional: list things all games share)

Why

• One singing game cannot fullfill every needs of players/developers
• Distribute the feature pressure (and workload) on more than one game project
• Make sure that a single game is not overloaded with features/configs and becomes unmaintainable
• Ensure that the games complement each other rather than replacing 🙂 🤝
• Provide players a harmonized variety of games (with a shared content base) 🚀
• Avoid unique features are coded twice ⚙ ✅
• Ensure that different technologies are used for making games,
• • so that potentially more developers can find their fitting projects to work on
• • and to avoid becoming depending on only one platform.

Hey @open-music-games/leads , 🙂
if you got some time in the next months, it would be cool if we collab on a "uniqueness guide".
I prepared a google slide for us as a start.
Feel free to add and discuss. This is open for any ideas:

If we all agreed on it, I would make it public on the website. It's a living document.
