In moments like these I remember this graph. You not only train an ability, but also the eye to evaluate the ability, but both improve at a delayed rate. Truly a vicious cycle to keep you humble 😭

Sadly there isn’t one source on the topic that I can point you towards (not that it doesn’t exist, but I just haven’t found it yet), but imho a great start on Game/System Design are “A Game Design Vocabulary” by Anthropy and Clark, and “Rules of Play” by Salen and Zimmermann. #gamedesign
