  • The elements support a theme
  • The game begins with an idea
  • The game improves through iteration
  • The game is made for a player
  • The experience is in the player's mind
  • Some elements are game mechanics
  • Game mechanics must be in balance
  • Game mechanics support puzzles
  • Players play games through an interface
  • Experiences can be judged by their interest curves
  • One kind of experience is the story
  • Story and game structures can be artfully merged with indirect control
  • Stories and games take place in worlds
  • Worlds contain characters
  • Worlds contain spaces
  • The look and feel of a world is defined by its aesthetics
  • Some games are played with other players
  • Other players sometimes form communities
  • The designer usually works with a team
  • The team sometimes communicates through documents
  • Good games are created through playtesting
  • The team builds a game with technology

  • Games transform their players
  • Designers have certain responsibilities
  • Each designer has a motivation
  • Goodbye.
