Game Decisions
Its week 6! The weeks are really flying in this semester and I'm really enjoying writing these blogs each week. The first reading is one about a book called "Challenges for game designers"by Brenda Brathwaite and Ian Schreiber. This book challenges the readers to improve their brainstorming abilities and to sharpen their game design skills. From the 36 reviews on the website amazon.com the book has received 89% 5 star reviews. The vast majority of the users seem to love it. One reviewer says how the book is "crucial in understanding the fundamentals of how game design works" which would be very useful for me and my year group for this module.
"Theory of fun for game design" by Raph Koster is a similar book however this one is not your typical how-to book. It gives readers a fun way to create and improve their designs through the book. 80% of the 79 reviews are in the 4 and 5 star bracket which shows it is a very good book. I would love if these books were discussed in our classes and we were given tasks to complete on them as they seem very knowledgable and informative.
