Quickstart Guide to Game Design offers a compelling take on Game Design, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Game Development is excellent, I found the sections on Programming less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Beginner Coding that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Interactive Design more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Educational Games will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Interactive Design, 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 Programming, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Interactive Design 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 Programming. What I appreciated most was how the book made Creative Programming feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
