FORMATION GAME XP
Over the last 3 decades, I have always tried to understand the creative and design empiric knowledge by rationalizing, factorizing, and transforming our intuitions into solid methods that I‘ve shared through classes and training inside major companies
“Fun from games arises out of mastery. It arises out of comprehension. It is the act of solving puzzles that makes games fun. In other words, with games, learning is the drug.”
Raph Koster - ‘Theory of Fun’
“Good design is actually a lot harder to notice than poor design, in part because good designs fit our needs so well that the design is invisible”
Don Norman - ‘The Design of Everyday Things’
