Da GameCareerGuide (http://gamecareerguide.com/features/824/maxims_of_game_.php):
* Think!
* In most situations, focus on gameplay, not story.
* There is no Easy Button.
* As with most other endeavors, in game design you probably won't be good at it to start with.
* Keep it simple. Avoid the "curse of more".
* Don't forget replayability, which usually comes from uncertainty.
* What is the player going to DO?
* In a good game there should be both ways to help yourself and to hinder the enemy (and sometimes but not always, both at once).
* Ideas are a dime a dozen.
* It's not the idea, it's the execution.
* You need to WORK to get ideas.
* Ideas alone are virtually worthless.
* If you want your game made, you need to WORK at it.
* Game design is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration.
* Write it down!
* Don't hide behind the computer!
* Games are not movies. They're interactive.
* If the player isn't doing something, it's not really a game.
* If no one can play your game design, you don't have a game yet.
* Playtesting is the heart of game creation.
* Your prototype will change a lot, don't spend time making it "pretty" or fancy.
* Learn to play your game solo, even if it's for five players.
* Plan, monitor, control, replan.
* Listen most to playtesters who lost the game.
* Get input from people who don't feel a need to keep you happy.
* Playtesting is giving people the opportunity to say your game sucks.
* Games can always be improved, but there comes a point when it isn't worth the time it takes (Diminishing Marginal Returns).
* When in doubt, leave it out.
* Good games take time to mature, regardless of your rush -- like concrete drying.
* You need the patience of Job.
* Game designers don't get to play (finished) games much.
* All games are art -- and the players don't care.

C'è del vero in tutto questo :) Probabilmente tutti i vari master e corsi di game design potrebbero facilmente essere sostituiti dalla lettura di questa lista.

;D ;D ;D
Penso che la lista sia utilissima ai chi ci si vuole avvicinare per le prime volte (gli evita di scrivere 2000 pagine sulla storia del nuovo gdr definitivo per poi abbandonare)
Magari qualche master qualche utilità ce l'ha (confronto con altri,tirocinio,insegnamento dei fondamenti di altri ruoli) dubito però che abbiano un buon rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Questa mi servirà...tempo di rimettersi all'editor e finire il prototipo...(altri 3 mesi di lavoro minimo)

Ecco il genere di nozioni da insegnare a scuola. I forum sono sempre pieni di futuri padroni del mondo e aspiranti imperatori, quindi prego ai potenti fottenti del domani di prendere nota per una riforma dell'istruzione.
