Learning Game Design with Arcade Berg

What is a game designer?

Ten days without posting, I must be dead! No, but I've been abroad to a couple of places and just got home and I'm about to crash into bed. I just wanted to tell you one thing first.

While being abroad I met with a game developer student, recently graduated. It was pretty much random that I met him and I didn't know who he was. We introduced each other and we talked about our diciplines of development. He told me that he was a character artist and I told him I'm a game designer. That's when he said to me:

- Game Designer? I do not know what that is.

I was totally in shock and didn't know what to do. I tried explaining it and I think he eventually understood it somewhat. But apparently, some game development schools have a long way to go....

But I've been thinking about a few things while being away. So tomorrow I'll make sure to write a couple of posts (published every other day) about:

• Uncanney Valley of Gameplay
• One hand games
• Beat Boxing
