Getting Started
Learn about my mission and how to use my resources
What is YBdesigning
My name is Yelnar Bolatov (YB)!
I have worked at Rocket Tech agency, banks, startups, but always craved for video game development.
For most of the time my main tool was Figma. I became quiet proficient with it, as I used it not only for work (designing websites, apps, logos), but for collecting ideas, experimenting with prototypes,
Then Figma announced their new tool Figma Sites which allowed all designers publish their designs as websites. And I thought wait a minute, I can use this to collect and systemize all the knowledge about game design and development, to help me in development of games on my own and share it with the others! So, that’s it, that’s the mission.
YB Learning
I organise educational content in three parts: Foundations, Variables, Components.
Foundations
Essential things on which we will build games
Verbs
What you do in the game
Modifiers
Things that support the experience

I organise educational content in three parts: Foundations, Verbs, Modifiers.
Topics I am interested now are designing mechanics, levels, writing pacing, understanding genres, etc.
