The teacher is wonderful, the course is very fun and wonderfully structured - I would highly recommend it! It is in itself like a multiplayer game that I enjoyed playing! :) The peer-reviewed assignments were really allowing me to learn by doing and to gradually learn from my and others' mistakes. All together, it was great!

Good introductory course. Short , simple , and funny!

Love this class! A perfect kickstart for game newbies..

It's awesome, Mr. Krause is great and I'm thoroughly enjoying myself

I think this was a great course for a person like myself who wanted to start learning about Game Design but really had no experience. I enjoyed to class and love the flexibility with being able to take it all on

Really liked the course - very important insights and excellent presentation of the content. By creating your own games and reviewing other actual games it's easier to learn teh content. Was fun, too!

I really feel like I gained a lot from this course. The concepts are simple when you think about it, but the point is that we don't often think about these foundations. I am really happy to have taken this course, and I think it set me up well for the rest of the specialization.

It is an excellent introduction to be a game designer

I liked this course a lot. Thank you for letting me study the GameDesign!

Good start to understand the game mechanics. Thanks

Great course!

You can tell a lot of love was put into this course. Tons of fun. Really informative and entertaining videos!

You learn the basic concepts of game designing with interactive and funny week assessments, very useful and enjoyable!

This was my first course on COURSERA and first course about game design. It has really opened my mind to many characteristics of game design. It a super helpful course if your starting in game design(which I am!). You'll have the opportunity to review others and be reviewed, which is very important! The feedback I got really helped me to go forward, and reviewing others gave me the opportunity to see many different designs and ways to build game mechanics. It's very great.

Great course by Mr. Fran and the team at CALARTS. Looking forward to complete this program!

It teaches very important basics, and has the information you need to help you get start on Game Design. Instructions are also very clear and simple for you to follow through, so even if you don't have a background knowledge, this will be a good starting point.

Great content, perfect level for beginners with a wide scope that can apply to all sorts of games. The videos are fun, engaging and really worth watching.

Great course

The videos are excellent and the teacher demonstrate vast knowledge in the area. But, I miss a more professional feedback on our submissions, sometimes it doesn't help at all, we're basically doing it by our own all the time, I believe the results could be even better with a better guidance.

啊啊啊啊啊太棒了。 so great. so jealous of you American students who have these super fun professor! :joy:

Good introduction to this specialization.

Recommended for beginner in game design

The course is fun to learn. Great for beginners, it would have bee better if it could contain checklist for tasks like GDD, and other design docs etc.

Deceptively simple at first but becomes much more involved. Excellent through simplicity.

that was a good experience of learning because the topics are explaining in a simple way, thank you for all. this course has been so funny :)
