3 Tips for Getting Started With Game Design

These videos were already shared in previous posts from my game design club series, but I wanted to get them in them one place. (I compiled some related interviews in this post.)

My goal with these videos was to concisely state three tips that would help students start making game. I use them to make board and card games, but they will help with digital games too. In fact, they form the basis of design thinking in any area.

Tip 1:  Learn and play many games. But don't play mindlessly!

Tip 2:  Keep a design notebook. Besides writing down ideas, use it to flesh your ideas out too.

Tip 3:  Start playing right away. This includes some tips for making rough prototypes.
