Video Game Design

What this course is about is the nature of fun and the analytical thought processes successful game designers employ to make games that people really want to play.

This video course will teach you the key skills of video game theory, so you can deliver truly great games for any platform—mobile, console, or computer. Using new examples and best-in-class in-game footage, Zach Comm shows you the difference between "meh" games and truly unforgettable video game experiences.

This is a comprehensive overview of the game design process from start to finish. By following along, viewers learn the steps involved in coming up with a solid idea for a game, building different types of prototypes, methods for playtesting game prototypes and evaluating the results.

In this course, you will create a playable character from scratch, add an interaction system that makes it simple to designate objects in the world as interactable, and then add a variety of horror mechanics that you can customize and select from, such as various door opening methods, flickering lights, crouching, and sprinting, jumpscares, footsteps, leaning, finding notes, and more.
