Demystifying Creativity: On Originality in Game Development

Exciting news for everyone who’s followed my journey in game development! I’m beyond thrilled to announce the upcoming release of my book, “Demystifying Creativity: On Originality in Game Development.” This book, a labor of love and decades of experience in the industry, is finally making its way to you later this year, published by CRC Press (Taylor & Francis Group).

In this book, I dive into what drives creativity in game development, pulling from psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy to paint a fuller picture of how we can foster originality. I introduce a concept I’ve been nurturing—Creative Sobriety—which is all about understanding our inspirations deeply to truly original our creative voices.

Massive thanks to the dream team that made this possible: my editor Will Bateman, Yasser Abuthuria who designed the stunning cover, Ahmed Salama for his graphical genius, Hanna F. for capturing the perfect photo, and Hiromasa Iwasaki, who provided an inspiring foreword.

Creativity is at the heart of all we do, vital not just in our projects but for our growth as creators. I’m eager to see how it resonates with readers and fellow game developers worldwide.

Pre-orders are now open! Find it at your favorite bookshop, and let’s push the boundaries of what games can be. Check it out here: Book Link 🎮📘✨

 

 

Al-Khallab on the art of game design

September 2018 – After almost 3 years of working on it, I’m happy to finally announce that my text book “Al-khallab on the art of game design” is finally published! This is the first book ever to be written about the topic of game design in the Arabic language, and I hope that it’ll bridge the gap for those who want to learn about game design but don’t have to master another language to do so.
