I know, that there are quite some talents out there. But I think you also already came across those "gamedesign is all about fun and nothing about work" people and so you know what I mean... ;-) Hey guys,

Thanks for your feedbacks!

@Monsieur_H
Wouldn’t make sense because then you would know about each and every feature that we are going to bring you guys ;-) But I can promise you, that I will release some sneak-peaks into some new features from time to time here on my blog…so stay tuned!

@phdr_vrba
Go for it ;-) That’s the right intention!

I know there are some idiots out there who think its all fun and games but there is a few of us who know what we face. Countless times I have tried to create 2d and 3d games using different engines and failed a few times. Also i have used Blender as well which has helped me get some idea of how 3d art works. I am also studying C, Java & C++. I am working on a game myself with no help what so ever. Plus through experience gained through playing a wide variety of games i have gained a rough idea of what players are looking. We all have. Gaining experience and knowledge is vital, and those who truly work hardest to achieve their goals will be rewarded. Don’t take all of us who wish to be “Gamedesigners” likely man.

Hard work? Of course! And to me, imaginating what the player should/could do is a very interesting part. As you said it's not the whole work but it will determine the future of the game. Could we (the readers) have a glance on the gamedesign document? Releasing it would be idiot, because it will evolve during the developpement, but in my opinion teasing a few ideas or features to have a feedback would be quite interesting for both devs & players.
