Game Design Engineering

The main focus of my professional career is the game design engineering process. Relevant research is collected under Science, and the Games section lists the games I worked on.

Here is an incomplete list of literature that I recommend to anyone who wants to create games. It is incomplete and dynamic, I will update it in the future. I'm not sure if the order is important. But if in doubt, I would just start at the top.
