دانلود کتاب بازی طراحان بازی – مقدمه ای بر طراحی بازی تعاملی

We decided to write this book for many different reasons. A desire to share what we’ve learned about game interaction design with aspiring designers around the world. Wanting to create an educational resource that could reach beyond our own students. A frustration with the dearth of textbooks containing puns and edgy takes on the gaming industry that no one asked for. Most importantly, we decided to write this book to share our passion for games and what makes them tick with a diverse audience. No matter whether you’re a student of design, a curious gamer, or a professional on the hunt for puns and edgy takes, we hope this book can provide you with some useful knowledge, helpful examples, and inspiration for your own work. If you’re wondering why we decided to write this book, the long version of that story includes an ill-fated midterm exam, a few oddball research projects, and several bowls of ramen. The short version of that story is that the “we” in question, Samantha and Pejman, have been working together since 2015 in both academic and commercial work. After co-authoring several articles together and collaborating in a few teaching endeavours, Pejman suggested that they write a book about game interaction design. Samantha agreed with this idea, because she has poor impulse control. And, after a few years of writing, interviews, writing, editing, writing, compositing, and writing, you’re about to (hopefully) delight in the result of that collaboration. Creating this book has been both a challenging and rewarding journey. When we set out to write it, we knew that it would be difficult to pull together a volume that managed to capture our combined advice on game interaction design while also teaching and working on our research. What we didn’t anticipate was that most of our writing would end up taking place during the pandemic lockdowns, which made the effort overwhelming at times. Luckily, we are fortunate to have the most wonderful, understanding friends and family that anyone could hope to imagine. There are many people who have supported us through this journey, and this book would not have happened without their support. We would like to thank Dan Taber, our Commissioning Editor at Oxford University Press, and his team, particularly John Smallman, Katherine Ward and Charles Bath, for guiding and encouraging us from the initial discussion we had about this book all the way to final release.
