The central idea would be to share a high level summary of thought processes Mark uses when he sit down with a blank sheet of paper to create a new game.
It's about the rules, the moment to moment play, and the other simple details that are often skipped when people create a pitch or a game concept.
For each step in the process, Mark will share a concept and some high level thinking, then will let people work on their own ideas.
Topics covered:
- Simple rules for designing a game - cover the basics so we’re all on the same page and can talk the same language.
- Audience, theme and appeal - Who is your audience? How large it is? What is it about your theme that appeals to your audience? What is the fantasy your game is delivering for the player?
- Identifying the core game elements - What are they and what’s fun about them? What are the “rules” for how they work?
- Pulling all the elements together - How do you pull the elements together into cohesive game? What’s the core loop? What does the player do each time they come back to the game?
- Long term play - How do the elements of the game evolve over time? What keeps the game fresh and interesting over time?
- How to evaluate your own idea - how can you tell if your game design is fun before you build it?

Stingray is built and designed around 3 core principles:
Lightweight – Stingray is a new engine that was built relatively recently when compared to other technologies, and that means that it has the advantage of truly modern design.
Powerful – By power, we not only mean that Stingray can provide extremely high level graphics, but I also mean that it is powerful in the sense that users can access and modify the underlying technology to make drastic changes that will let them build any kind of game they want, and easily.
Integrated. It has the best integrations with Autodesk 3D tools like 3ds Max, Maya, and Maya LT. These integrations will continue to improve over time, but we’re building toward a much better pipeline.
