The Lens of Nameless Quality

Certain things feel special and wonderful because of their natural, organic design. To ensure your game has these properties, ask yourself these questions:

  • Does my design have a special feeling of life, or do parts of my design feel dead? What would make my design more alive?
  • Which of Alexander’s fifteen qualities does my design have?
  • Could it have more of them, somehow?
  • Where does my design feel like my self?
