Gamedev Resources List
A list with articles and videos about game/level design, which have been gathered from gamasutra, tigsource, youtube, etc.
Credits to Carlos Zaracho who made the list at the first place. He posted it in Indie Game Developers group at Facebook so I decided to make it a git repo.
Any contributions are welcome.
