This text covers the basics of the process of game design. It is intended for newcomers to game design, especially students in introductory level classes. The aim is practical. I want to introduce the reader to a process of creating new games and analyzing existing ones. Along the way, we examine a model for thinking about games on three different levels (from bare mechanics through dynamic behavior and gameplay to end-user experience) and how we can use these levels to simplify the design problem by dividing it into stages. In writing this text, I wanted to describe the tools and techniques used by game designers working in the industry. As a game designer and developer, I felt that it was important to share with students the basics of the knowledge that we have collectively accumulated. Our industry is new, only several decades young, and it keeps evolving rapidly—but some of the foundations are starting to take shape. So now might be a good time to survey what we have learned so far in anticipation of building on it in the future. Games are syntheses of the work of many disciplines, and all parts must work well together to produce a great experience for the player. Interesting and engaging gameplay, visuals and visual design, music and audio design, user experience design for smooth interaction, technical design and implementation, and so on. Game design is typically used in the industry to refer only to the design of the gameplay aspect. A design for a game is a kind of formulation for how the game should work: how it will behave, what the player will do, who the characters are, how they act when the player interacts with them, and so on. This is complementary to the visual design of how the game will look, or the technical design of how exactly all the pieces will be implemented, but it is treated as a separate practice. Gameplay design works with the other elements and brings them together.
