Game Design Videos

There are different types of video resources. Interviews, tutorials, speeches and development process videos are some of them.

Videos are a great resource that game designers can use to learn. The visual aids used in videos are helpful to illustrate ideas and keep them stored in your mind in a different way than audio or text resources.

If you’re the type of person that reads a lot or tends to listen to audio files on the go, watching videos can help you take a different approach to learning about designing games.
