Ask HN: Where can I learn about game design?
I have a firm grounding in psychology and want to learn about game design. Can you point me in the direction of an article, book or lecture series which outlines the principles of game design, specifically what common elements make games engaging and addictive?
- RevRal 17y agoI went through sloperama back in the day. I even printed out every one of his articles. Ah, yes, fond memories. Unfortunately, looks like his website is down at the moment. You're going to have to check archive.org or something: http://www.sloperama.com http://www.sloperama.com . I believe his full name is Tom Slopper. I could be wrong. Good luck!
