[casual_games] Design resources

[Eric Boosman]

Hi Jade,

 

I can't recommend this book enough.  It's called The Art of Game Design, and
it's so chock full of specific ideas, thoughts and advice that I think
anyone doing game design of any type should read it (not just video games).

 

In addition, I think anyone involved in game development in any facet should
read this to help them understand the fundamental principles in game design
and why we play.  It gives a great big picture look at the process, as well
as practical advice for the details.

Hey,

 

Can you recommend any books, websites or forums that can help expand my
knowledge for game design? The areas I'm specifically interested in are UI &
level design, especially how visuals can dictate play.

 

Many thanks,

 

Jade
