An impassioned look at games and game design that offers the most ambitious framework for understanding them to date.
Zimmerman: I did two PC titles; one was while I was working for RGA Interactive in New York City called Gearheads, a dueling game about wind-up toys.
Zimmerman: Play-testing is more important the more experimental the game is. If you're doing a copy of an existing game, playtest is less important, because you already have models of what works and what doesn't work.
Zimmerman: We are the initial playtesters, and as the development proceeds, the circle widens.
