Arm yourself with the practical skills and cutting edge insights
needed to successfully design engaging games across a variety of
genres and platforms Key Features * Master the skills, processes,
and techniques required to work in a professional studio * Ace the
core principles and processes of level design, world building, and
storytelling * Design, implement, and polish high quality features
and mechanics for modern video games Book Description If you are
seeking an up-to-date and actionable guide to game design, then you
have come to the right place! Immerse yourself in the fundamentals
of game design with this book, written by two industry veterans
with decades of game design experience across a variety of genres
and platforms. The second edition retains its original goal of
teaching the basics of game design in a practical manner, but also
adds some of the most recent trends in game design and a whole lot
of new practical examples from games of the current generation. A
new chapter on games as a service will explain how the role of the
game designer is evolving and go deeper into the design of games
that are meant to be played forever. Starting with learning how to
conceptualize a game idea, you will gradually move on to devising a
design plan and adapting solutions from existing games. You will
discover how to produce original game mechanics, and test and
eliminate anticipated design risks. You will then learn the basics
of Level Design, Interactive Storytelling, User Experience and
Accessibility. In the final chapters, you will learn to wrap up a
game ahead of its release date, work through the challenges of
designing games as a service and free-to-play games, and understand
how to significantly improve their quality through iteration,
playtesting and polishing. What you will learn * Define the scope
and structure of a game project * Conceptualize a game idea and
present it to others * Design gameplay systems and communicate them
clearly and thoroughly * Build and validate engaging game mechanics
* Design successful games as a service and prepare your games for
live operations * Master the principles behind level design,
worldbuilding and storytelling * Improve the quality of a game by
playtesting and polishing it Who This Book Is For Whether you are a
student eager to design your very first game, or a game designer
looking to expand your skillset, this book will help you master the
fundamentals of game design, across all stages of game development.
By focusing on best practices and a pragmatic approach, Practical
Game Design provides insights into the arts and crafts from two
senior game designers, with insider knowledge that even the most
seasoned industry veterans can appreciate. Prior experience with
game development is not absolutely necessary. However, a basic
knowledge of some popular video games will be helpful.
