As we’ve delved into the world of games we’ve found that some game design resources are better for beginners than others, and that some resources aren’t normally listed but are still inspiring and gave us interesting things to think about. Since most of our products also ask the customer to become a bit of a game designer themselves we hope these will be helpful to everyone.
