Hi guys,

So in order to get the ball going, I figure we all should have completed the following readings and exercises for the following:

Lectures: Level 1[gamedesignconcepts.wordpress.com]and Level 2[gamedesignconcepts.wordpress.com]

Please finish any and all the readings that you can (included in the lecture notes). As someone already pointed out, a lot of this is vocabulary building for the latter half of the course when more of the design projects come in. So alongside the readings and basic course material, we can play games together and also tool around with Garry's Mod, which we'll have to learn on top of the course material.

Also, if you're interested, there are a couple great videos from Extra Credits about being a game designer. The rest of their videos are also fantastic analysis of games and game design, but I'll just post the designer ones for now:

So You Want to Be a Game Designer
Playing Like a Designer Part 1
Playing Like a Designer Part 2

Although this course is focused more on design, thought I'd include the developer videos below.
