"Game Design for Teens" covers the basics for developing a game idea and successfully converting that idea into a complete game. A natural addition to the for Teens line of books, it is a true beginner's guide to the game design process and deals specifically with creating a game design document. It will help the reader create a quality game design document appropriate for submission to a publisher, developer, or college professor. It explores the components of a game design document, how to create each component, who creates each portion, and why each is important. This book also examines game design theory as it applies to different game genres.

Good Place to Start

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm not a game design expert. I'm not in the gaming industry at all, except as a consumer. My son, on the other hand, has expressed a desire to "play test games" as a career. I thought, okay, let's check it out.
Game Design for Teens is an introduction to the game design world (a complex, very technical realm), with the purpose of creating a game design document.
Good: This book is written to the level of its intended audience.
Good: It includes many good/relevant graphics.
Good: Not designed to be a science book.
Good: Keeps to the purpose/focus of the book with many good/relevant anecdotes.
Other: It is a bit verbose/complex at times.
Impressions: Good for young people interested in game design/development.
Sincerely,
JMS

Too general

By Mark Twain
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is far too general to be useful to anyone. There are far better books that address this topic.
