This book somehow walks that fine line between a deeply informative academic work and a highly personalized take on game design. There is a lot of insight here for budding and experienced game designers, and also for those who are interested in how to make games of all kinds, in or out of the game industry. My personal area of education is screenwriting; I enjoyed a lot of Mr. Schell's writing as I found that the concepts explored were universally applicable to storytelling even if they were taught specifically through the lens of game design. This is a value purchase. Read more
