This is an introduction to how games work as systems, and it does not involve writing code. The aim is to build vocabulary and frameworks you can use to analyze any game, whether it is played on a board, a phone or a console.
The course also covers licensing, a game design document template and the main routes to publishing on mobile and PC storefronts. It suits people who are curious about designing games but want to understand the thinking before picking an engine. Short exercises and quizzes are included, although they are optional. Subtitles are available in Portuguese.
