Hello, everyone! ๐ท
Iโm thrilled to announce the release of the Introduction to Games chapter! The first chapter written using the brand new Notion platform which allowed me to add rich features like embedded videos, game examples, and even a Machinations diagram!
What's Inside This Chapter?
In this chapter, we'll explore games' fundamental concepts, from their core definitions to practical design tools. Here's what you'll discover:
- What games really are, exploring definitions from legendary game designers like Katie Salen, Eric Zimmerman, and Raph Koster
- Learn about the crucial concept of "packaging" games (spoiler: it's not just about the graphics!)
- Playing with Machinations, a powerful tool for designing game systems
Plus, you will find an interactive example using Mega Man X's charging mechanic to demonstrate how game systems work in practice! ๐ซ๐ค
New Platform, Better Learning!
As announced earlier, we've moved from PDFs to Notion, giving you a more interactive and engaging learning experience. This means better media integration, easier navigation, and a more dynamic way to learn game development!
Your First Quest Awaits!
Ready to put your knowledge to the test? The chapter ends with an assignment: Am I playing or being played? where you'll analyze a game session and break down its core incentives and packaging, proposing how to repackage the game.
Share your assignment by uploading your PDF titled "Introduction to Games Assignment" - I can't wait to see your insights!
Keep developing and until the next time!
