Game Development & Writing Resources

Game development is an art onto itself. Be it a simple game made up on the spot or a complex communication game, there is a splendor to following a mechanical process to achieve a multitude of results. Developing your own game for publication is a beast of a whole other design. 

In developing my own game, and later an entire gaming curriculum for students, these are a few of the resources I used to achieve my own goals.
