★★★★☆

Quickstart Guide to Game Design offers a compelling take on Game Design, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Game Development Basics is excellent, I found the sections on Game Development Basics less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Programming that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Game Development Basics more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Coding for Beginners will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Programming, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Quickstart Guide to Game Design! It completely changed my perspective on Game Design. At first I wasn't sure about Interactive Design, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Interactive Design is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Game Development. What I appreciated most was how the book made Interactive Design feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

This work by Quickstart Guide to Game Design represents a significant contribution to the field of Game Development. The author's approach to Game Design demonstrates a sophisticated understanding that will benefit both novice and experienced readers alike. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion on Beginner Coding, which provides fresh insights into Educational Games. The methodological rigor and theoretical framework make this an essential read for anyone interested in Educational Games. While some may argue that Programming, the overall quality of the research and presentation is undeniable. This volume will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field of Project-Based Learning.
