Learner Reviews & Feedback for Principles of Game Design by Michigan State University

I enjoyed this entire course from conception to prototype. Brought the game to life at the end. I wish there was more time for this course. Felt like I could have put a lot more detail into the game design.

Hard fun.

This is a fantastic course! It game me so much insight as to what goes on behind the scenes of the wonderful stories and adventures we see in many of today's video games. Probably my favorite course of the specialization. It made me feel creative, and helped me to bring more to my simple ideas for a game.

Great course!!!! Big round of applause for the coach :D

This course so intensive and onteresting!!

Good content. Enjoyed the assignments.

Very interactive and good practical knowledge about game design development

This course gives great insight to the importance of planning out the various structures of a game before building it. The valuable resources such as the readings were also very much helpful. The instructor has a calm spirit and his lectures are interesting and easy to understand.

Very useful course from concept thinking to direct planning of your/your team activity. It's good point to start how to know what to do))

I really enjoyed it :)

Very good for idea building and turning those ideas into the start of something that could work!

Really Great Course

Excelente y es entretenido

Great Course !

Very good course if you are interested in games and/or game design.

Teaching style a little loose for me, but man did he make me work on my assignments. The information is valuable and the references are beneficial. My take-away from attending this course gives a good base on how to think about a game and set things up properly from the start. No quick short cuts here. Just good old fashion hard work and how to approach things logically to get things done constructively and productively.

I find the course interesting in its totality. It's more difficult than the first course, because of its theory but every piece one near another makes the whole!

Excelente Curso

It was difficult, but interesting

Good course. The teacher knows very well the topics

Love it !

The concepts are good and important, writing the assignments was not so easy :)

It feels like there is a missing link between the concepts & the writing the documents.

For example -the last exercise (prototype) was not good at all for most people I checked (including myself?).

On a secondary importance level: some of the questions/answers are hard to understand or related to extras (movies, for example) I did not I need to see, so it was a bit frustrating.

Amazing! That is why i LOVE Game Design.. HAHA!

Very comprehensive and thorough introduction to game design. I gained lots of insight into what it really takes to be a developer, and the steps involved. This course really helped to explain the process of getting a game idea off the ground, fleshing out details, and making it presentable to a team or prospective producer. Thanks!

I enjoyed a lot to have classes with the teacher of this course.

O'Donnel helped me alot showing us some importants essays of Game Design and guiding us in the way to how to have a simple idea and work on it in order to make it in a good game.

Thanks!
