Myths about Game Design

Historical Roots: Software development as an engineering discipline
Myth: “Upfront design reduces risk”
Myth “The cost of change increases exponentially as time goes on”
Myth: “A specialized workforce organized into functional silos is the key to productivity”
Myth: “There is one game designer who holds the vision for the project”

Danc at Lostgarden presents Persistent Myths about Game Design, and discusses problems and alternatives.

Computer Programming Humour and Folklore
Computer Virus hoaxes
