Game Design Fundamentals — Vaibhav Chavan

Chavan focuses on how a game works for its player: mechanics, repeated actions, motivation, and a design document. This is a design introduction rather than a programming course for one engine. It can help learners describe and test an idea before investing in complex assets or code.

What you will learn

• Describe a game’s core loop
• Connect mechanics to player motivation
• Outline a concise game design document

Who this suits

No prior experience is listed. Suitable for a newcomer interested in designing games or a developer who wants a clearer way to discuss the player experience. A paper prototype is enough to begin practicing.

Before you enroll

Learning design terminology does not establish that a concept is enjoyable. Test with other players and observe their choices. Engine programming, art production, publishing, and commercial success require additional work beyond this introductory scope.

Enrollment is paid through Udemy. A completion certificate follows Udemy's course terms; it does not confer a professional qualification. Check current pricing and access before enrolling.

Put it into practice

Create a paper game with one repeated decision and a clear end condition. Watch two people play, record where they hesitate, and revise one rule before adding more mechanics.
