For today's Critical Thought , we turn to the topic of game development. Video games are a combination of entertainment and a program, and these two areas are very hard to combine properly. I talked about the three essential elements of all video games: Aesthetics, Programming and Design, and what that means for building a game.I also talked about why it's so hard to teach someone strictly game design and how to learn it yourself.
