Design games around intended player experiences rather than a vague promise of fun. Apply the MDA Framework to connect mechanics, play behavior, and experience, then document, prototype, and refine your design through evidence.

• 2 2. Apply the MDA Framework to actual design processes
• 3 3. Internalize the design thinking that flows from Mechanics → Dynamics → Player Experience
• 4 4. Acquire practical skills in writing design documents and prototyping mindset
