Game Vision : A mental model for articulating, communicating, and defending, your game’s vision.

Vision has been a leading indicator of team success or failure for over four decades. In the video games industry, vision has also been cited as the main reason for failure or success. Why does this happen?

This book details the factors which cause this to occur. It explains the mental models of game creators, their internal models of how they think when they think about their game, and shows how these models are not sufficient for capturing and communicating game vision.

The book will then introduce Vision 1/2/4, a more accurate mental model for articulating, communicating, and defending your game’s vision.

The Mastering Game Vision workshop is the interactive hands-on version of this book.
