thanks chris
You'd start by writing up a basic design document.

That'd document an overall summary of the game type, core gameplay features, major story arcs, gameplay and design aims/goals, considerations, etc...

Then you add to it and refine it as you go along and you get more ideas and happy coincidences coming up.
