Game Design Workshop: A Playcentric Approach to Creating Innovative Games, Fourth Edition 4th Edition

Game Design Workshop is a truly great book, and has become, in my opinion, the de facto standard text for beginner- to intermediate-level game design education. This updated new edition is extremely relevant, useful and inspiring to all kinds of game designers.

- Richard Lemarchand, Interactive Media & Games Division, School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California

This is the perfect time for a new edition. The updates refresh elements of the book that are important as examples, but don't radically alter the thing about the book that is great: a playcentric approach to game design.

Tracy Fullerton's Game Design Workshop covers pretty much everything a working or wannabe game designer needs to know.
