School Projects | Normally I’m happy to answer questions about game design for students, but as of this writing, I am extremely far behind on nearly all of my prior responsibilities. For the foreseeable future I must prioritize that work, and so am not able to responsibility answer questions about game design at this time. I am very sorry and wish you the best with your project, because game design is a fantastic and rewarding field.
