@nannssens There are some videos on my site https://t.co/UVXBIhgqrv that might be helpful as well.

@nannssens Also @PuzzleExplorer is a great tool for creating puzzle games and thinking about mechanics. It comes with a great curriculum too

[Game Design Ed @gamedesigned]

@nannssens A good place to start is by making an original version of a card or dice game. Add a new mechanic to an old game and play it.

@RobertThurman29 Here's a good discussion thread that might be helpful: https://t.co/1V2pICptq3

[Game Design Ed @gamedesigned]

@RobertThurman29 I haven't come across any books. Personally, I'd probably handle it all in an xml document.

[Game Design Ed @gamedesigned]

@RobertThurman29 Sound simple enough? Well, those are the hard parts! :)

[Game Design Ed @gamedesigned]

@RobertThurman29 And you need a good overarching story to tie it all together.

[Game Design Ed @gamedesigned]

@RobertThurman29 You probably want interactive, meaningful choices - so a good decision tree.

[Game Design Ed @gamedesigned]

@RobertThurman29 When it comes to adventure games, you need good puzzles - not too obscure and not too arbitrary.
