The future and beyond
7.1 Moving the game forward
If you finished the assignments, you should have three valuable things:
- A completed assignment you can share on Discord for feedback. Acting on feedback is one of the fastest ways to improve.
- A card game you can keep expanding with the tools from the course. Repeat: add mechanics/systems → playtest → balance → document, until you are happy. It can be a portfolio piece.
- Knowledge of professional practice: proposal, documentation, balancing, diagramming, testing, and more. You used tools, theories, and techniques working designers use every day.
Keep developing this game, or start a new one from scratch using the same steps.
Share the finished assignment on Discord if you want instructor and community feedback. See you there: https://discord.gg/VA2M5EHyjj
Looking back to where you started: how do you feel about your craft as a game designer now? Where did you improve most? What do you still need to work on?
