Working under constraints, especially in a creative field, can be a challenging but highly effective way to build up your inventiveness. Often when starting out a project, setting some kind of constraint can force you into action and get your brain thinking in a different way.

For instance, it’s time to start a new game project. “Let’s now build a game.”

You’re at your workspace.. Cool… erm… yeah… so… yeah… erm…

Now, let’s imagine you put some constraints on the project:

“Let’s build a game with only 2 colours” or

“Let’s build a game in 48 hours” or

“Let’s build a game with only Triangles.”

By starting with some constraints in place, whatever they be can be a hugely powerful jump point to get those creative juices flowing.
