# Principles
|
||
* Experience something
|
||
* Express something
|
||
* Prove something
|
||
|
||
* 1: Fighting against human nature is a losing game
|
||
* 2: Aesthetics matter
|
||
* 3: Resonance is important
|
||
* 4: Make use of piggybacking
|
||
* 5: Don't confuse "interesting" with "fun"
|
||
* 6: Understand what emotion your game is trying to evoke
|
||
* 7: Allow the players the skill to make the game personal
|
||
* 8: The details are where the players fall in love with your game
|
||
* 9: Allow your players to have a sense of ownership
|
||
* 10: Leave room for the player to explore
|
||
* 11: If everyone likes your game, but no one loves it, it will fail
|
||
* 12: Don't design to prove you can do something
|
||
* 13: Make the fun part also the correct strategy to win
|
||
* 14: Don't be afraid to be blunt
|
||
* 15: Design the component for its intended audience
|
||
* 16: Be more afraid of boring your players than challenging them
|
||
* 17: You don't have to change much to change everything
|
||
* 18: Restrictions breed creativity
|
||
* 19: Your audience is good at recognizing problems and bad at solving them
|
||
* 20: All the lessons connect
