Currently Reading

As a game designer, I am trying to gain knowledge from different places, including books. Here I would like to share some of the books I have been reading for my self development and takeaways.

The Design of Everyday Things: 

  • The first book I started reading as a game designer. 

  • Its basis in Human centered design really inspires me in my work, always speaking for the player when advocating my design ideas. 

    • Affordances and signifiers have become some of my most common terms. ​

  • I should never blame the player for interacting wrong with my design. Instead the design needs fixing.​

  • If the user gets distracted or keeps interacting in an unexpected manner, constraints on the product can help limit the amount of possible actions.

The Playful Production Process: 

  • Started reading it along with my 3rd year student project (Shred Off) to understand the deliverables of the 4 development phases (Ideation, Pre-Production, Production & Postproduction).

  • Ideation and Pre-Production are chaotic phases where the holistic design of the game experiences big changes. 

  • Concentric Development is a method during Pre-Production of working and focusing on the primary mechanics until they are polished features. 

  • At the end of Pre-Production the team delivers a Vertical Slice, Game Design Macro and schedule of Production (which won't go as planned because its game dev).
