Fundamental game design documentation oriented course

Excellent Course For Game Development Engineering :)

With this course I really learned how to think about a game idea.

Very good brainstorming expirience! Thanks :)

This course while provides good theoretical and supplementary information and theoretical knowledge on how to include mechanics and design a game using design documents and prototypes, I personally feel that some of the technical skill gaps should be accounted for via taking another course - Game Development for Modern Systems - first before taking the Game Design course. There's an assignment that required to produce a prototype, and the Introduction to Game Development course covers very specific recipes using the Unity 3D game engine. This knowledge and skill information are not sufficient to help the developer-in-training to self-develop, translating the specific mechanics the person has in-mind into a self-sufficient developed prototype. It would be great if a separate course or project module were to provide sufficient sandbox-ing and experimental ground to be flex their creativity onto their programming skills, and use that as a springboard onto the prototype game submission. Overall, this course does cover sufficient ground for students to be curious enough to explore different game genres and learn the creative process behind such developments.

this course started me thinking individually and i learned from this course very much and it is more useful for every gamer or game design member

great course... thanks fot everything

nicely designed course.

the instructor is excellent in explain in details.

Ótimos insights e profundo conteúdo teórico sobre o que faz um jogo ser bom. Ajudou muito no meu processo criativo.

learnt a lot

reeeeeeeeeeeee

Very informative course really enjoyed. Help me get a bit more direction as an aspiring game designer.

Fun introductory course

thank u professor casey I learned a lot sadly I haven't finished the whole 5 courses I'd like to continue and finish it for my portfolio. thank you for taking the effort on making the course :)

BOOM!

Good course which has provided a good awareness how the gaming implementation work.

This course taught me to think about and approach games in a different way. I'm now more observant about the world around me and how a "silly" or "normal" activity can become an interesting element for gameplay. Highly recommended for anyone who is willing to take games and game making seriously.

Amazing. It gives me so much ideas

Hi Coursera fans!

I highly recommend that course to everyone who just think or start career in gamedev. Not only for Project leaders, but for developers or 3D artist. Simple, clear, wise Casey O'Donnell. Thanks, I enjoy every moment!

Awesome

I have never seen such an interactive and interesting course ever! Must take for everyone, no matter what is your background.

Great course, very practical!

It was a great experience to realize that game development was much more than coding, designing and audio mixing.

Good content for the basics of Game Design, but the course lacks good graded materials.

It has a good structure of teaching, but it is not supported and in several moments it is necessary to look in the forum to advance. I recommend if you do not have difficulty with this.

Theoretical par..boring
