A close look at how games are built
Using popular, beloved games as examples, Tom Smith examines the design choices behind how they work. The discussion expands from individual games to broader topics including systems design, randomness, monetization, game theory, and iterative development. This example-led structure connects familiar games with the concepts and processes involved in designing them, making the book a focused overview of several central areas of game design.
Based on publisher information and book metadata.
Anatomy of Game Design takes some of the most popular and beloved games of all time and dissects them to see what makes them tick. Each game is then used to discuss larger topics in game design, such as systems design, randomness, monetization, game theory, and iterative approaches to game development.
