Introduction to PCG (Procedural Content Generation) for Game Designers: The Principles and Applications of PCG That Designers Should Know

This article explains in detail how to create a 'Matching Pictures' card game using Godo Engine.

If you've been struggling with why combat feels frustrating or why the impact doesn't come alive, this course is the solution. We break down the core principles of designing combat systems for action-adventure and souls-like games in the easiest and clearest way possible, helping anyone create systematically designed combat systems based on structured knowledge rather than just 'simple intuition'. Through this course, you'll be able to theoretically systematize what was once vague combat system design and learn the application principles through real examples from various games.

This is an introductory course for beginner game designers who find quest design overwhelming. It helps you move beyond quests that don't go past the "kill X monsters" level, and explains step-by-step why players take action and how choices become experiences. Centered on real commercial game examples and the designer's thought process, it teaches you the fundamental design methods for connecting quests with story, gameplay, and systems.

Working as a game designer, there are often moments when you feel lost, not knowing how to plan sound or how to collaborate with the audio team. In particular, questions like "What makes good sound?", "Why does my game lack impact?", and "Why don't scene transitions/UI/combat/ambient sounds connect into a cohesive experience?" are among the most challenging areas for designers with limited experience. This course is designed for designers with these concerns, explaining the principles of sound design in a designer's language and helping you understand step-by-step, aligned with actual workflow, what role sound plays in games and how it should be designed. Focusing on core concepts and real-world examples that make up game sound— such as sound direction, impact feel, feedback, layering, ducking, and trigger design— this course explains things concretely and practically so that even beginner designers without audio expertise can easily understand and immediately apply them to their work. After taking this course, you won't be a designer who relies on vague intuition saying "just do it like this," but rather one who understands various game sound techniques and can proactively lead audio quality.

This course is designed for game designers who are unsure how to design enemy AI. We'll clearly break down pattern composition, behavior design, and difficulty adjustment methods in a designer's language—concepts that may have seemed vague before. After taking this course, you'll be able to independently determine 'what kind of enemy to design and why,' and communicate confidently with programmers.

Level design is the process of meticulous spatial design that naturally guides players, controls tension and relief, and creates memorable moments. In this course, you'll learn how to apply spatial design principles that architects have used for hundreds of years to games. After taking this course, you'll become a game planner or level designer who thinks first about "What emotions will this space give to players, and what actions will it induce?" rather than simply "Put a wall here and place a door there."

This is an introductory course that provides a comprehensive overview of the world of 'game planners,' the invisible designers of games. It introduces ideas, rules, experiences, documentation, and various work tools and methods that planners need to know.

This is a practical course for those who have completed the introductory Godot Engine course. We will implement the core logic of a Breakout 2D game together.

This is a high-level engine game development course for complete beginners with no coding experience. If you are new to game development, start with this course!

Hello. My name is Hwanhee Kim, and I have launched 25 HTML5 games on Appintos. Creating HTML5 games and even monetizing them is not a difficult task with Appintos. As a bonus, try uploading them to mobile (Android) as well. I will explain everything in detail, from start to finish.

Game development is a complex field that goes beyond simple coding to encompass performance optimization, architecture design, collaboration, accessibility, and monetization. This course summarizes the sessions from GameDev Day 2025, a global event hosted by JetBrains, and captures the real-world challenges and solutions that professional developers face in the industry.

It covers the direction of employment, studies, and entrepreneurship in the era of AI.

This course examines the overall aspects of games and various elements of games from a humanistic perspective. The lectures will be based on a textbook called 'Game Textbook'.
