“This is the perfect time for a new Fourth Edition. The updates revive elements of the ebook that are important as examples but don’t drastically alter the thing about the ebook that is great: a play-centric approach to game design.” — Colleen Macklin, Associate Professor, Parsons The New School for Design.
“Game Design Workshop, 4th Edition, is a truly great ebook, and has become, in my opinion, the de facto standard textbook for beginner- to intermediate-level game design education. This revised new edition is instrumental, relevant, and inspiring to all kinds of game designers.” — Richard Lemarchand, Interactive Media & Games Division, School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California.
“Tracy Fullerton’s Game Design Workshop: A Playcentric Approach to Creating Innovative Games includes pretty much everything a working or wannabe game designer needs to know. She includes game theory, concepts, prototyping, testing, and tuning, with breaks to discuss what it means to a professional game designer and how to land a job. When I started thinking about my game studies course at the University of Texas at Austin, this was one ebook I knew I had to use.” — Warren Spector, Studio Director, OtherSide Entertainment.
