So You Wanna Make Games?? | Episode 10: Game Design

In this video, a few game designers talk about some fundamental game design concepts-from understanding “fun,” to setting clear goals, and creating opposition. They also explain how design decisions can impact the theme and tone of a game, even without any art at all, underscoring the importance of cohesive art and design. Hopefully after watching this video you'll start thinking about all the ways art functions to support design choices and vice versa. Maybe you'll even get inspired to try designing, yourself!

@@riotgames There is so much more in game development that you could teach us :) For example all the stuff connected with the technical side of projects, or producing the games - how do you manage projects, how do you maintain consisten vision among hundreds of developers, how do you make decisions - it's all so interesting :) Thank you for this series, I loved it. I work at game dev but as a programmer, so all of this was interesting and new for me :)

@@riotgames Beta-testing! I was always curious how that process really work. I mean it's actually one of most important parts of the game developers and I'm pretty sure most people (me included) have a lot of misconceptions about this one. How the feedback procedure established, what skills are required to be a beta-tester, all that.

This is actually super useful and entertaining, this guy (I believe its Ben Boas speaking), I like the comedic twist to keep the information from being stale, clearly they had a lot of fun just putting this all together and editing it all in the end, while being informative throughout the whole thing! Even for someone like myself who is strictly a programmer, and partly a project manager, a lot of this is useful even for my own work - because even tho I dont art, I still work WITH artists, which is fun

@ezracramer1370 4 жыл бұрын

I agree, and just wonder why people have this urge to start or finish their claims with "actually" like somebody was opposing them and they want to correct previously stated fact. Nobody is :D so maybe you think people will "actually" take you more seriously?? In 90% cases REALLY not the case :D its like: "this is actually nice video" or did YOU thought its going to be bad or what? :D

The advice section at the end was universal, not only for game designers. It's interesting that these people (who, in the game creation process, have to ask the almost philosphical question "What is _fun_?") gave this kind of advice. Love it, loved this whole series! Edit: I take that back, going back *everybody's* personal advice was universal. Dang, these videos were good.

Be sure to learn as much as you can about other disciplines while you're there! Take advantage of the expertise around you and the fact you're paying them to learn!!! Many studios or teams are small enough they don't functionally have full time designers, so it's critical to pick up some extra skills so you're as useful and marketable as possible - being purely a designer makes it difficult to break into the industry as there are so many candidates applying and you can fall quite dependent on engineers and artists to implement your content.
