I’ve been wanting to learn more about Game Design, so I’ve been doing that, I’ve heard a lot of people, read a bunch of books, and taken a lot of courses, well… not that many, there aren’t a lot of Game Design courses out there and that’s why I would love to see a course about it, a more complete course, with @Rick_Davidson as the instructor.
I know, I know, there’s the podcast, but it’s not the same.
Things I would love to see in a course like this:
- Color theory.
- Design approaches and techniques.
- Beat Charts/Plan/Maps.
- Level design.
- White boxing.
- Examples of how to use all of these tools in different genres.
- Design principles like foreshadowing, and exposure.
- How to properly document your game design and level design.
- How to properly test your games.
There are so, so, many topics and so very little information out there besides books, and some of them are really hard to get for people outside the US/UK because the prices sometimes are ridiculous because of the shipping.
Maybe a course where we get to create a small dungeon using all these techniques and more that I don’t know about.
Please! Give us a Game Design course Rick! Please!
