Hi All,
I’m trying to gather up all the courses, workshops (online or not) and Top books on Game Design. Mostly video games (Table top optional).
I’d really appreciate if everybody can contribute to this. I’m particularly interested in hands on/ online workshops.
The list:
Online course (video and multimedia based)
- Lewis Pulsipher has some good courses in Udemy (bit oriented towards Tabletop)
