The document provides advice for aspiring game designers on how to enter the field. It recommends starting by educating oneself using online resources and books. Prototyping ideas using tools and non-commercial projects helps develop technical skills and proves design concepts. Communication skills and learning to work as part of a team are also important. Game design requires perseverance as most ideas fail, and it can take years to develop the necessary mindset and skills. The best path is often starting with internships or modding communities before pursuing a design career.

Олег Новосад “Mama, I am game architect. What’s next?”

Lviv Startup Club

This document discusses game architecture and design. It begins by defining the difference between enterprise and games in terms of business versus emotions. It then outlines the typical flows for game creation and architecture, including ideas, design, prototyping, development, feedback, and technical specifications. The document also categorizes common game genres and their components. It emphasizes tokenization and modularization in architectural design, including priorities like speed, performance and flexibility. Finally, it provides advice on common pitfalls to avoid and best practices for reusable, documented design.

2. initial plans finished

Louisbiddles7

Louis Biddles plans to create an endless runner game similar to Jetpack Joyride where the player controls a character being chased and must jump over obstacles while collecting power ups. They feel this genre would be a good fit as it can look clean and professional while not being too difficult to make, though some complex features will be challenging. They have begun experimenting, mind mapping ideas, and creating a mood board to influence the final product's design through inspiration from other games' use of bold colors and theming suited to pixels. A schedule is laid out over 5 weeks for production, research, evaluation, and using sources like Subway Surfers for reference.

4. proposal

Abigail Long

The project is a horror puzzle game called "The Mountain's Edge Hotel" aimed at 16-22 year olds of both genders. The main character is a female whose girlfriend has been taken hostage in the run-down hotel. To rescue her, the player must solve puzzles of increasing difficulty across 5 hotel rooms, encountering creatures along the way. The game will utilize the author's pixel art and animation skills developed through past projects and practice. Research into horror and puzzle game design will inform the atmosphere, puzzles, and mechanics. Evaluation will involve self-reflection, peer feedback, and testing with the target audience to improve the work and support future career development.

Orthodoxies and technologies in game design

Katharine Neil

This document discusses the evolution of game design processes and tools. It notes that early game design followed a linear process of concept development, pre-production, alpha/beta testing, and release. However, tools like digital distribution, analytics, and games-as-a-service have led to more iterative design processes that incorporate ongoing testing and data-driven optimization. Some designers have less autonomy as business and analytics teams influence design decisions. The document advocates for unorthodox design tools that support creativity, such as paper prototyping, systems modeling software, AI-assisted level sketching tools, and open-world progression planners.

Game Design Tools: For When Spreadsheets and Flowcharts Aren't Enough

Katharine Neil

Game design tools can help designers solve problems without building full prototypes by supporting conceptual modeling and iteration of ideas. These tools include notation systems, software, and conceptual models. Some key tools mentioned are Machinations for modeling game systems, Articy:Draft for narrative and mission design, skill atoms for progression design, and experimental tools like The Sentient Sketchbook for assisted level design. The benefits of design tools include adding structure, supporting complex designs, and informing design work beyond just using the tools. However, tools also have limitations like not capturing "game feel" and potentially influencing design work in unintended ways. A toolbox approach using multiple tools alongside prototyping is recommended.

Andrii Dotsenko shares his experience as a game designer at Ubisoft Kiev. He worked on games like Far Cry 4. Game design involves imagining rules and mechanics to create fun experiences for players. It takes time and failed prototypes to develop this skill. Designers must learn to communicate ideas clearly and listen to feedback from teammates with different perspectives. While ideas are important, the real work is in interactive prototyping to prove a concept.

2. initial plans

louis harman

This document outlines an individual's initial plans and ideas for a 2D game project. It discusses several game genre options that would work for a 2D game, including side scrollers, puzzles, and platformers. The individual has a preference for RPG games where a character progresses through unlocking items and rewards. They believe they are good at production aspects and using their own drawings, particularly for game design. They also feel they are good at coming up with initial concepts and plans. The rest of the document involves mind maps, mood boards and project planning details.

Game designer's journey 2.0

Andrew Dotsenko

This document provides guidance for aspiring game designers on how to enter the field. It recommends starting by educating oneself using freely available online resources about game design fundamentals.

Lviv Startup Club

ReactiveCocoa is a framework that uses functional reactive programming to simplify asynchronous dataflow and change management in Cocoa apps. It provides RACSignals to unify common Cocoa patterns like delegation, KVO, notifications into a single interface. Operations on RACSignals like map, filter, combine allow transforming and combining event streams. This allows implementing reactive patterns like MVVM and handling concurrency easily. While it requires a paradigm shift, ReactiveCocoa reduces code and simplifies managing app state and asynchronous events.
