Title: [Introduction] Welcome to the Project Factory!

Welcome to Project Factory!

Project Factory is a collaborated section for the most accomplished and motivated card designers. It is used to start and finish different kinds of collaborative projects that are related to card designs, ranging from cost efficiency studies to how viable a new element would be. For solo projects, you may want to consider looking into Design Theory (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/design-theory/) or the Series Section (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/series/) instead.

Before you start a project here, it is recommended that you have made at least 30 posts in the forums. We also recommend that you make a few card ideas to get a feel for how EtG is balanced.

To start a project, you need to first determine whether it's a Study or a Project. Studies focus more on discussing and investigating various card idea habits in the forum (e.g. Simplicity vs Complexity (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/idea-factory/study-simplicity-v-complexity/), Design Reflection (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/idea-factory/study-design-reflection/)) whereas Projects focus more on actual card creation and/or making things that expand on card creation. (E.g. The 13th Element (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/idea-factory/project-the-13th-element/), Playtesting System (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/idea-factory/projectfun-playtesting-system/)).

Once that's done, feel free to start your project with your fellow card designers and design away! If you have any questions, feel free to ask our current Card Curators: ZephyrPhantom, Frozengaia, and AD Storm Bolt.

Structure of the Idea Factory
1) Projects:
Projects are Series of cards that a large number of Idea Factory members are working together on.
Projects should be kept to a minimum so that sufficient effort is dedicate to each one.
More regulations will develop for Projects over time for now lets see how the two trial projects work out.
2) Studies:
Studies are the Idea Factory's version of Design Theory and related topic.
3) Other threads that members feel should be made.
