    Children Make The Best Game Design Teachers

    Kids are great. Really. Just listen to Blizzard's Rob Pardo, who led the World of Warcraft design team, discussing what he's learned by watching his 7 year-old daughter (a level 54 Warlock) game:


    Playing games with my daughter is great because it really allows me to see what is fundamentally fun about game mechanics. For example, when she was only 5 years old, she would just jump off buildings over and over and collect lots of different outfits for her character.

    I generally have more of an 'achiever' mentality when I play games, and playing with my daughter really helps give me a more rounded perspective towards games.


    Like I said, kids are great. Brian Ashcraft
