Master the craft of game design so you can create that elusive
combination of challenge, competition, and interaction that players
seek. This design workshop begins with an examination of the fundamental
elements of game design; then puts you to work in prototyping,
playtesting and redesigning your own games with exercises that teach
essential design skills. Workshop exercises require no background in
programming or artwork, releasing you from the intricacies of electronic
game production, so you can develop a working understanding of the
essentials of game design. Features:
* A design methodology used in the USC Interactive Media program, a
cutting edge program funded in part of Electronic Arts.
* Hands-on exercises demonstrate key concepts, and the design
methodology
* Insights from top industry game designers, including Noah Falstein,
American McGee, Peter Molyneux
