The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses, Third Edition

Excelente

This is a great book for anyone involved in designing games of any kind, especially to educate. It was a textbook for my master’s degree if that says anything about how full of great information it is. The book is also available as a deck of cards format containing the same information as the book in a gamified format. You can also download a digital version of this as a free app, for those interested in learning on a budget. I really enjoyed this book (as well as the app version) and found it to be inspiring for game design as well as other creative endeavors!

This is the clearest breakdown of game development and design that I have come across in 21 years of lifeI highly reccomend it for any aspiring game designer, as well as those deeply interested in game development

it's a really detailed and interesting book, it is teaching the concepts/knowledge we need for a good game design

The book is very helpful in a different way to approach game design. This book includes game design for video games but can also be helpful when designing a tabletop/boardgame. The previous edition included a companion accessory, A Deck of Lenses. This edition does not provide this useful tool.

This book uses a good quality paper where you can use a highlighter on and it won't bleed through. The layout and typography is nicely done for easy reading. The content of the text in some parts could be edited down a little, I think the author can be a little verbose at times. It is a book I would recommend to any serious game developer, even if you only seriously do it on the side. You will get ideas from it and it will help you think through the myriad of issues a game developer is up against.

Es muy completo y detallado, de muy buena calidad. Me he demorado leyendolo pero en realidad se aprende mucho.

Book came with bent front cover and a few pages after, as well as damage on the back cover.

It explains the fundamental principles of games and allows you to understand it's structure and how to manipulate them to create good games. I switched from a perspective of copying games elements/mechanics to thinking about elements/mechanics and realizing it looks like other games.Go in peace, this book is worth the investment of time and money

Why is such an expensive book so dirty? Can't Amazon store this properly?

Sembra sia un libro apprezzatissimo nel ambito gamedev. Siccome l'avevo regalato, l'ho solo sfogliato ma il contenuto sembra incitante e la persona che lo ha ricevuto e` rimasta contente.

Es ist die Fachliteratur im Bereich Game Design. Jeder Game Designer sollte es gelesen haben. Wenn man wissenschaftlich mit Spielen arbeitet kommt man nicht an Jesse Schell vorbei. Ein wirklich inspirierender Mensch.

Recomendable para todo game designer
