Game Design and Planning
by Tanya Short
What:
This workshop will cover two major topics, intended for folks with little to no prior experience in game making:
- Making your game more fun ;
- Making your team as productive & effective as possible;
By the end you’ll have a plan for how to improve the chances that your game design gives the player experience you want, AND how to scope your game so you can actually finish it.
Level : beginner.
