Start creating your world. A game world is not just a backdrop for your game—be it minimal or detailed, contained or part of a much bigger universe, it provides the context for your player. Ultimately, a game world should feel alive and wholly unique to any player who will experience it.

TOP REVIEWS FROM WORLD DESIGN FOR VIDEO GAMES
I would like to thank our instructor, Théotime Vaillant, for this course. I am grateful for the knowledge I gained from this course. This course really helped me a lot in my future.
I loved this I think video game design and creation is the new way to learn code and complexity of design. Great experience thank you so much!
Really enjoyed this class. I am a very visual person and this class was much more fun and a bit easier as I could express my ideas visually much more easily than If I had to write everything down.
This is a fantastic course to run your imagination to it's top! You can built your own game world and show it to other students. The learning curve is definitely improving with this course!
