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.

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.

PCG (Procedural Content Generation) is a design approach that automatically generates game content based on rules and conditions. It is utilized for various content such as maps, items, events, and quests, and is currently widely used throughout the game industry to improve development efficiency and gameplay variety. PCG is no longer limited to specific genres or technical teams; it has become one of the fundamental concepts that game designers must understand. PCG is often misunderstood as merely a mathematical or programming technique, but in reality, the most important aspect is the planning-stage choices and design that determine "what kind of experience to create repeatedly." This course is an introductory lecture focused on understanding and utilizing PCG from a designer's perspective. Rather than teaching how to write code, it gradually explains why PCG is necessary, what problems it solves, and how it is used in game design, centered on principles and case studies.
