Hey Yacine, stop wasting your time with writing a diary. Believe me, no one is interested in your thoughts. You should better start working right now. Go on, feed and support Magda, you can’t live off the land.

Btw: Nice design!

Take care

Thanks for the comment Jesse. I’m only a couple chapters in, but I’m really enjoying it. It’s living up to the high expectations I’ve built up for it. I will definitely write a follow-up post on my impressions of the book once I’ve gotten through it and applied some of its teachings. And I’ll make sure to bug you with questions too, you can count on that.

Cheers,
Yacine

Hi Yac! Hope you like the book! Please feel free to contact me with questions. People like you were exactly the audience I had in mind for the book, so I’d love to hear your thoughts about it. If you like it, you might consider the cards that go with it, available at artofgamedesign.com.
