I started out writing these design blogs to offer some tips about game design, and I decided to tie that in with what has been going on with Codex Worlds. It is also important, however, to talk about what else goes on in pre-production in addition to design. In the past two blogs, I covered some production, project management, producing, and team evaluation points. Now onto some tactical game design tips ... the whole point of this blog. :)

Read MoreMy last blog covered some of the higher level items worth thinking about during the game design pre-production phase. Resources, communication, team size, and individual skills all play into how our processes work, but that's not the end of the road. Here are some tips to help maximize efficiency:

Read MoreThere are a ton of different ways to implement your game design. Some considerations may include team size, member experience, difficulty level of the project and resources. Of course, big publishers may have team sizes anywhere north of 50 or even 100 people, and their approach to design may necessarily be different than 10 indies doing a "garage" project. Having stated all that, it might be fun to look at how we are doing things at Codex Worlds.

Read MoreDeciding what platform to develop for is as big a decision as what game to make! Over the past 30 years, there have been about 4 or 5 platforms (computer/video/handheld game systems) to decide to develop on at any given time. Now, it has never been more confusing or exciting to be a game software developer. It is utter chaos now with mobile, web, micro consoles and even watch games all competing with "classic" PC, video game and handheld systems.
