LAZY DESIGNER SERIES

@bs00001 and whotheheckami: I am not into gaming but I wanted to help. I was able to get these from Amazon and all but a couple were free but since the cost of the other two were small, I bought them to be able to share the complete series. So, consider this a belated Christmas gift.

This may not be everything you asked for but here's all I was able to get...

- Book 1: Start a Career in Game Design
- Book 2: How to Make the Next Game: Design Prototype Test
- Book 3: How to Design Gameplay and Exploration
- Book 4: How to Design Story and Build Worlds
- Book 5: How to Be a Lead Designer

UPDATE ---- FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2022
==========================

I sent you both a PM alerting you that the request has been fulfilled. I couldn't get my message to whotheheckami (reason: PM quota had been reached). It is important for people who make REQ and bump posts to keep their private messaging feature turned ON (not disabled) and to have a little extra space available (ex: delete old messages) if they have restrictions on their account. Otherwise, how will someone trying to help you be able to reach you?


for reading!
