Welcome

This video serves as the introduction to Game Design: A Beginner’s Guide.

It introduces the overall purpose, learning goals, and structure of the course. Students will learn that game design is an interdisciplinary field that combines psychology, art theory, design thinking, literature, and computer science.

The video explains that this course will focus on practical design principles, creative methods, and hands-on tools rather than overly abstract theories. It aims to help students turn ideas into real, playable prototypes. The video also highlights the key abilities required of a game designer, including imagination, artistic sense, communication skills, psychological insight, and basic business awareness.

By the end of the course, students are expected to better understand games, analyze them critically, and develop their own game design ideas with confidence, creativity, and purpose.
