THOUGHTS
This book is a useful guide for designers early in their game development. While I read most of it cover-to-cover, it may be best to use it as a reference manual to return to as needed. As such, a series of YouTube videos (or Vimeo? is that still a thing?) could be a great companion - so much of gaming is visual, after all.

ADAPTED ALREADY?
No

IDEAL ADAPTATION
Concise, topical video essays to match the chapters of the book.

An actual prototype game were made as part of the video essays.
