This is how the room of a game design student looks like.
I'm Jonas and I document the entire journey to becoming a game developer.
Studying game design in Berlin has been a great experience that taught me a lot about making games.
Now I feel like it's time to focus on some of my own projects. It's time to leave university and learn to do my own thing. Is it really that smart to drop out now? Who knows.
I want to become a great game designer and I hope you become an even better one, whether you do that by going to game school or simply by making games in your basement at home.
In this vlog I'll show you around in my room, which will give you a pretty accurate depiction of who I am, what I want and where I'm going.
This is my path to becoming a game developer. Hop on if you want and have a nice day.

If your games make your players feel smart, theyre going to like your game a lot better! Lets use our game design skills to accomplish this!
Game development is a complicated discipline, so its often easy to get sidetracked and focus on game mechanics and other gameplay elements. Making players feel good about themselves and making them love their own brain and their own intelligence, is something we (or at least I) often forget about.
I feel like this is an absolutely massive opportunity to level up the user experience and make your game more fun and enjoyable.
Here are 14 game design hacks to make players feel smart! Dont forget to apply your knowledge to your own game projects and tell me what you came up with.
Bonus Tips:
15) Make the game clean and readable.
16) Always let players know why something happened.
17) Let players use their creativity.
Lets make smarter games with smarter design. :D")
