Game design fundamentals

I can’t believe that people that paid for a game designer formation will still most of the time only learn; How to write good documentation or it quickly becomes a Unity training. This is why I’ve taken the time to write all my knowledge for people that want to learn how to design a video game or how to become a better game designer.

I didn’t mean that I’m the best game designer in the world, I still learn at every game that I work on and every team that I’m working with. But, this is my 20 years of learning that I want to share with all people that can be interested in that topics.
