So these are issues that I've had to grapple with as a game designer,
as a game developer, and so I think it's important for you to understand them, too.
In part, it's because whether you're making a game for fun or
for business, these are things that you're going to encounter and
that you're gonna have to deal with.
So it's important to sort of address them head-on.
So to give you a sense of how we're gonna kinda sequence the things in this class,
the first thing we're gonna talk about is money, and how the game industry
is structured, and how it kinda works because, that's important.
We're gonna talk about legal issues that you face in game design and
game development.
We're going to talk about production.
What does that mean?
Production, project planning.
How you deal with people, and how you work with team
dynamics because if you are working with other people, that's gonna come up.
We're also going to talk about pitching.
How you pitch your game idea as well as how to get a job.
Because in some ways, that's not so much pitching a game, but
it's pitching you to another company.
We're gonna talk about what it takes to start a company.
So maybe you think you've got a great game idea.
And now is your chance to actually do that, start a company.
Well, we're gonna talk about that, we're gonna talk about how to build a portfolio.
Because if you're selling yourself, your portfolio is what you're selling, and
if you're selling a game, a business plan is how you're going to sell that thing.
So these are all important things, we're gonna talk about all of them.
Hope you're excited, I hope you've enjoyed the first two classes in the game design
and development specialization, if you haven't checked them out, please do.
We think we've got a lot of great information here that'll help
you understand games, game development, and game design.
Thanks, see you in the next clip.
