In this video I cover some concepts from Jesse Schell's "The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses". This video is about how games are just a medium to convey experiences, and how you can use that concept to better your practices as a Game Dev.

This video took a long time! Please engage with it if you enjoyed it, and let me know if you want me to continue the series.
