Vague But Exciting
summary
Prototypes prove ideas before costly commits: Pixar uses a Pitch Doctor sketch-powerpoint to time movies before animation, Blizzard cobbles characters from existing parts to test “is it fun,” Mario 64 begins as Lego blocks on $10,000 dev rigs aimed at $200 consoles, Splatoon starts as tofu blocks, web prototypes live on CodePen (over 700 codepens), static-site Jekyll demos avoid databases, and a Microsoft study of 155 post-mortems recommends prototyping to avoid overambitious design.
