The Joys of Game Design
You're unlikely to ever make much, let alone a living, from game design, but there's a lot to enjoy.
Description
My favorite game is the game of designing games. You're unlikely to ever make much, let alone a living, from game design, but there's a lot to enjoy. This class discusses that side of design as a briefer companion to my "Brief Introduction to Game Design," which discusses the difficulties of making money, let alone making a living. Some of the "lectures" here are from the Brief Introduction.
What You Will Learn!
- Understand the many reasons to design games OTHER THAN trying to make money
- Get an initial understanding of what game design really is
- Understand how to learn game design efficiently
Who Should Attend!
- Anyone who is interested in game design - there's nothing of a technical nature here
- Especially, anyone who wants to design for fun rather than for a living
- Those interested in trying to make a living at game design might prefer take my Brief Introduction to Game Design (though this class is fine, too)
