课程概述

Welcome! This course is an introduction to the primary concepts of gaming, and an exploration of how these basic concepts affect the way gamers interact with our games. In this course you will understand what defines a “game” and the mechanics and rules behind different types of games. Through four linked assignments you'll learn ways to create and describe a game concept, and specifically what makes a compelling game. This course focuses on the conceptual underpinnings of games, and all assignments can be completed with a pencil and paper – no previous programming knowledge is required....

A very basic course to start off the game design career. Great if you want to start right from the ground stage and make your way up! Complex concepts broken down and put ever so simply! Try it out!

The course was fun and the progression through the weeks assignments was good. The contents were presented in a interesting way and were pertinent, but i would know a little more deeper.

Pretty basic and easy to follow. Not sure that all of my peers were able to benefit from the "peer reviews". It would be great if there were a final review from the instructor as well.

At the beginning of the course never knew I would be good at it. I was feared of not knowing anything about making games. But the helped me. The peer review system helped alot.

Simple to follow, good for absolute beginners. Even if you find you are already familiar with some of the content, the course helps better articulate this understanding.

Funny introduction to game design. Not too serious, which I think is what some people need to loosen up and start with a playful mindset. (See what I did there?)

Very interesting, easy to follow and great with peer to peer feedback. I miss some interactions with the instructors, in terms of feedback during the course.

This course is nice. Well it doesn't make you a game designer haha, but it helps to broad your mind for sure. Thank you for making my brain working :)

The course is fun to learn. Great for beginners, it would have bee better if it could contain checklist for tasks like GDD, and other design docs etc.

Course that do not require lots of time but put your creative mind on work and push it truly far making a simple game detailing before its workframe.

It was a great course, It pointed to many essentials and basics of game's ideas.

It gives you the right way to think if you are going to make a game.

My only concern with the program is the classmate's feedback process. I really wish it was easier to give and get reviews, find other active* users.

An informative & fun introduction to video game design with hands-on assignments. It could've been more in-depth and specific, but I learned a lot!

I like what I viewed so far. It is great to learn the fundamentals of game design without having to worry about learning a programming language.

A nice course, with great content, but the Coursera plataform presented many flaws in key points, as the access to the feedbacks of peers...

This is a great course for those who are just starting to learn about game design. The assignments are very useful part of the course.

Simple and fine. It is important to structure your process. There may be many more tools, but this works ok for the conceptual aspects.

Good course with good concepts but could do with a lot more depth. This course's content would be one week of content for other courses

Fun and quirky, but felt a little bit too basic and easy. Hopefully the rest of the courses in this capstone will account for that.

There were a few problems with the app interface especially in the peer review section but a great introduction really enjoyed it.

A good course, with the using of peer review as an instrument of continuous confrontation, but lacks support from the staff.

Simply give more literature, and some expert opinion about some interesting jobs of week.

There is no communication at all
