★★★★★

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 Interactive Design less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Interactive Design that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Programming more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Beginner Coding will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Beginner Coding, 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 Game Development Basics, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Game Development Basics 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 Educational Games. 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!
