Week 1: Introduction

I am taking this class because I really admire Dr. Schweizer's work at Texas Tech. My advisor also said that I would really enjoy this course. I hope to learn how to be a good (or decent) Designer. I would like to learn the perspective of a Designer and what their thoughts were behind developing a game.  I recently found my old DSLite and am currently playing my old games: Theme Park, ProSkater4, Guitar Hero, Harry Potter Deathly Hallows, and my childhood favorites, High School Musical, and Petz. I also am currently obsessed with playing Roller Coaster Tycoon on my PC.
