MY goal
For the summer I have intentions of drawing a comic that I could publish online. Although, I don't think I have the skills to produce something like a comic. So I wanted to create something that would help me improve in the first few months of the summer.
strenghts and weaknesses
First of all I wrote down my strengths and weaknesses, I found that my biggest weakness was time management so I decided to make a calendar to track my daily work for the month.

Final decision
I initially started with the idea of a calendar so I can document my daily progress and create plans and deadlines. However, I then came up with the idea of a board game since it sounds like it would keep me more engaged as I wasn't going to know what was going to happen next. I began sketching some ideas out as I started to go with the idea of 3 sides or lands on the board and stepping on a square would give you a different response depending on what area you were in.
I thought the main three areas I needed to work in was my art skills, writing, and knowledge. From this I named the three areas Art, Story-writing and Research.
I then thought that my initial idea was slightly basic when it came to gameplay and I wanted to make it more simple and intriguing.

Next idea
Then, working from the board game idea, I decided focus solely on the spinner aspect of my original idea. so that instead of rolling a dice and exploring the areas you would just have to spin the wheel and pick up a card.
I then I realised that some of the areas blend into each other and that it wouldn't make sense. For example, to be expected to do draw a character you would need knowledge on how to make a character first, which includes all three areas. from this I decided to add a points system within the cards. so now when you choose to do a task on a card there may be requirements of points from other cards that you would need to accept the task.
I then decided to add a theme to the game and decided to go with space as it allows me to continue my characters from previous projects in the form of stars/suns and planets.
