- Jordan Mechner’s 20 Tips on Making Games (PDF) ➶
-
My three favorites, especially the paper one:
- Draw inspiration from life and primary sources, not just other games and fiction.
- Develop personal practices that remind you to step back and see the big picture (engage the right side of your brain).
- Work on paper, not just on screens.
I bought Jordan’s English edition of his new book, Replay, which is out in March of 2024. Can’t wait!
