I’ve created a Youtube channel to share knowledge about Game Design, called Game Design Thinking. In the channel I talk about different topics in game design also drawing from related fields, like pyschology, design thinking, systems thinking and more.
Also, I’ve created a course currently available on Udemy, to teach beginner game designers in an orderly manner how to start in game design and how to create more fun and meaninful games.
Having the opportunity to share my game design knowledge has allowed me to stay constantly looking for new information and techniques. Also, it has given me the chance to knew and connect with many people interested in game design and related fields. For me, it’s one of the best ways to keep up to date with new design techniques while also helping other game designers to increase their knowledge.
