What is Game Design?

Game Design is the process of creating the rules, mechanics, systems, challenges, characters, stories, and experiences that make a game enjoyable and engaging.

Game Designers answer important questions such as:

  • What is the player trying to achieve?
  • How should the game feel?
  • What challenges should players face?
  • How should rewards work?
  • How do characters interact with the world?
  • What makes the game fun?

Game Designers combine creativity, psychology, storytelling, and technology.
