Game Design Engineering

The main focus of my professional career is the game creation process. Since most of my games are related to this topic, instead of a list of projects (which you can find here), I would like to give a short list of recommended reading.

Recommended Reading

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.

• "Rules of Play" by Salen and Zimmerman (2004).
