" Introduction to Game Design, Prototyping, and Development combines a solid grounding in evolving game design theory with a wealth of detailed examples of prototypes for digital games. Together these provide an excellent introduction to game design and development that culminates in making working games with Unity. This book will be useful for bot...
Professor of Practice in Game Design, Indiana University, former Creative Director at Rumble Entertainment, and General Manager at Kabam "Prototyping and play-testing are often the most misunderstood and/or underutilized steps in the game design and development process. Iterative cycles of testing and refining are key to the early stages of making ...

These practical guides, written by distinguished professors and industry gurus, cover basic tenets of game design and development using a straightforward, common-sense approach. The books encourage readers to try things on their own and think for themselves, making it easier for anyone to learn how to design and develop digital games for both compu...
Nonie Ratcliff This book is dedicated to: My wife Melanie, the love of my life, for her love, intellect, and support My parents and sisters And my many professors, colleagues, and students who inspired me to write this book.
I have a theory about game designers and teachers. I think that, beneath the possible differ-ences of our outer appearances, we're secretly the same; that many of the skills possessed by a good game designer are the same skills held by a great teacher. Have you ever had a teacher who held a class spellbound with puzzles and stories? Who showed you ...
Welcome to Introduction to Game Design, Prototyping, and Development. This book is based on my work over many years as both a professional game designer and a professor of game design at several universities, including the Interactive Media and Games Division at the University of Southern California and the Department of Electrical Engineering and...
My goal in this book is quite simple: I want to give you all the tools and knowledge you need to get started down the path to being a successful game designer and prototyper. This book is the distillation of as much knowledge as I can cram into it to help you toward that goal. Unlike most books out there, this book combines the disciplines of game ...
The first part of the book starts by exploring various theories of game design and the analyti-cal frameworks for game design that have been proposed by several earlier books. This section then describes the Layered Tetrad as a way of combining and expanding on many of the best features of these earlier theories. The Layered Tetrad is explored in d...
The second part teaches you how to program in the C# language (pronounced "see-sharp"). This part draws upon my many years of experience as a professor teaching nontechnical stu-dents how to express their game design ideas through digital code. If you have no prior knowl-edge or experience with programming or development, this part is designed for ...
The third part of the book encompasses several different tutorials, each of which guides you through the development of a prototype for a specific style of game. The purpose of this part is twofold: It reveals some best practices for rapid game prototyping by showing you how I per-sonally approach prototypes for various kinds of games, and it provi...
This book has several important appendices that merit mention here. Rather than repeat information throughout the book or require you to go hunting through various chapters for it, any piece of information that is referenced several times in the book or that I think you would be likely to want to reference later (after you've finished reading the b...
As a designer or creator of any kind, I think that it's absolutely essential to acknowledge those on whose shoulders you stand. There have been many books written on games and game design, and the few that I list here are those that have had the most profound effect on either my process or my thinking about game design. You will see these books ref...
All the digital game examples in this book are based on the Unity Game Engine and the C# programming language. I have taught students to develop digital games and interactive experiences for more than a decade, and in my experience, Unity is—by far—the best envi-ronment that I have found for learning to develop games. I have also found that C# is t...
There are many books about game design, and there are many books about programming. This book seeks to fill the gap between the two. As game development technologies like Unity become more ubiquitous, it is increasingly important that game designers have the ability to sketch their design ideas not only on paper but also through working digital pro...
This book maintains several writing conventions to help make the text more easily understandable. Any place that specific button names, menu commands, or other multi-word nouns are intro-duced in the text, they will be listed in italics . This includes terms like the Main Camera Game Object. An example menu command is Edit > Project Settings > P...
The book includes several different types of asides that feature useful or important information that does not fit in the flow of the regular body text. note Callouts in this format are for information that is useful but not critical. Information in notes will often be an interesting aside to the main text that provides a little bit more info about...
The sidebar is for discussions of longer topics that are important to the text but should be considered separately from it.
Several conventions apply to the code samples in this book. When specific elements from the code listing are placed in regular paragraph text, they appear in a monospaced font. The vari-able variableOnNewLine from the following code listing is an example of this. Code listings also utilize a monospaced font and appear as follows: public class Sam...
➥ Most of the code listings in the first two parts of the book will include line numbers (as seen in the preceding listing). You do not need to type the line numbers when entering the code into MonoDevelop (it will automatically number all lines). In the final part of the book, there are no line numbers due to the size of the code listings.
The website for this book includes all of the files referenced in the chapters, lecturer notes, and finished versions of each tutorial prototype. It is available at http://book.prototools.net .
A tremendous number of people deserve to be thanked here. First and foremost, I want to thank my wife, Melanie, whose help and feedback on my chapters throughout the entire pro-cess improved the book tremendously. I also want to thank my family for their many years of support, with special thanks to my father for teaching me how to program as a chi...
