"If you are a serious person who wants to become better at game design, ... you really aren't going to find a better course than this."
From what end should you start designing a video game?
The correct answer is to define its gameplay first. But how to proceed?
A game system is like a complex clockwork, with many components interacting with each other. Designing a solid game system can be daunting. However, each component is simple to understand, and if you know how to design them, you can build a coherent and effective game system.
In this class, I will teach you how to make the critical choices for each component:
- What are the key components you need to design?
- What are the fundamental rules you must follow to design them?
- In which order should you design them to build a coherent game system?
