After following along and building alongside the tutorial I feel that I can give my thoughts on it. The Beginning of the tutorial begins with us building a clock. After building the clocks face, we moved on to creating the hour marks on the clock. I found it informative and useful, as shown in the tutorial, to first build the mark, set that one up perfectly and then duplicate it and rotate it 30* on the Y axis. This will come in handy if I need to do some symmetry work on a round object in my game. I also found it informative to keep everything under a parent block as a child to said item, it keeps everything neat and also displays how everything fits together and works when combined with a C# script, like later in the tutorial.

Link Here Here is what I found the most interesting and useful MDA's are the formal way of approaching game design and research, these are usually displayed in the way of how rules dictate the way in which you play, how the system responds accordingly to you using the rules and how the 'fun' is displayed and had. This is the layman's terms of MDA. The mechanics dictate how the game is played, dynamics is how the game responds and aesthetics is how the game looks to have fun. I found this eye opening and very informative into how a game should be thought out and displayed in word form. This is also a formal language and can be taken in anyway possible to see how abstract your ideas can be. The 'fun' to be had can be divided into genres so to spe...
