We don't have to all be great designers or illustrators in order to make better versions of your game prototype. You just need to be equipped with a little know how and maybe a template or two. Better prototypes lead to better play testing, which will help you move ahead with your game more quickly!

My whole aim is to help newer game designers who are just getting started to stay motivated and make progress on their designs.

Every good game has narrative, and you know what makes for a good narrative, and therefore, game? Conflict!

You've likely heard a lot about how important a good theme is, but have you ever thought about how your game progresses its narrative apart from the theme?

I can still remember the first game I ever really tried to design (and I say "tried" because of course I never finished it). I spent FOREVER cutting out custom pieces out of chipboard for the first prototype. Bad idea!
