Description
A Playful Production Process For Game Designers (and Everyone) by Richard Lemarchand Achieve a happier and healthier game design process by connecting creative aspects with effective project management techniques. This book teaches game designers, aspiring game developers, and students how to take a digital game project from start to finish, from conceptualization and design to building, playtesting, and iteration, while avoiding the uncontrolled overwork known as "crunch". The book outlines a four-phase project process: ideation, preproduction, full production, and post-production, providing designers and developers with the milestones needed to advance from an initial idea to a finished game. By combining creative and project management techniques, game designers can create a more sustainable and enjoyable game development process.
