Лијепа и доста исцрпна (700 страна!) књига о дизајнирању игара, која се бави детаљно сваком фазом процеса почевши од смишљања идеје па све до завршних ситних подешавања. Успут је посебно обрађен сваки појединачни жанр. Не могу да кажем да сам имао нека спектакуларна откровења читајући ову књигу, али ето рецимо да ме је прилично изненадило што аутор препоручује да се у авантурама прво креира свијет игре па тек онда прича (био сам увјерен да све треба да крене управо од приче).

У књизи се спомињу и

У књизи се спомињу и неке општепознате ствари везане за компјутерске игре генерално које су мени биле узнемирујуће упркос томе што су општепознате и што су чак и мени познате. Али то што вам је нешто подсвјесно познато не значи да то нешто неће почети да вас узнемирава кад вам се експлицитно скрене пажња на то. На примјер, у скоро свим стратегијама у реалном времену људски ликови су неприродно велики у односу на зграде које их окружују. У пуцачким играма у првом лицу видно поље је свега неких 30 степени, док је у стварном животу око 120. Авиони и сличне летеће летјелице су силом прилика у играма непропорционално споре у односу на стварност, итд. итд. итд. Не знам кад ћу опет моћи да заиграм неку реал-тиме стратегију или ФПС, а да ми ове грозоте не падну на памет.

Углавном, ако неког занима гејм дизајн, ово је вриједно штиво и аутор има углавном сасвим исправне ставове у вези са стварима као што су тежина игре, снимање позиције и сл. Видио сам да аутор има и књигу Основе дизајна авантуристичких игара, па како ми је то омиљени жанр, несумњиво ће се и она врло брзо наћи на тапету.

well constructed, informative and eye opening.

It's hard to get out of our own mind, that is why I love to read intelligent books about topics I'm already "familiar" with. It's not only that you learn new things, you get to view topics you already know in different light. When the book is good, this ends up wit you growing as a professional and/or even as a person.
Ernest Adams series of books are a must for any serious game designer.

This is a quite technical book for game design beginners. However, many of its suggestions are unfounded and too many details and most of them are trivial. I need the principles and fundamentals. AFAIK, these complex systems with so much trivial details are too rigid and usually impractical.

It's a textbook, so it's not light reading. But well written and informative--quite useful as a primary text if you're looking to know more about game design.

"If the available power grows at exactly the same rate as the absolute difficulty goes up, the relative difficulty will be a flat line, as illustrated in Figure 11.4 (next page). In that case, a level 5 knight would find it exactly as hard to kill a level 5 troll in the middle of the game as a level 1 knight would find it to kill a level 1 troll at the beginning of the game. But relative difficulty should not be a flat line because when you factor in the player's increasing in-game experience, the perceived difficulty actually goes down—the game gets easier. Aim to increase the absolute difficulty of the challenges somewhat faster than you increase the available power to meet them. The gap between absolute and relative difficulty widens only slowly." — 1 likes
