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
Very nice curso, with very good details about how to create a very imaginative world design for your game! Really recomend to everyone that wants to create videogames!
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!
Great course! A lot of new and useful stuff. I really enjoyed another part of Game Design: Art and Concepts Specialization. Keep up the great work, guys!
It's a good course and the instructor encourages us to work creatively. I think could feel too easy for people that have previous experience in storytelling, but even so, I learned valuable things.
