What designers can learn from kids’ games

You wouldn’t think that children’s games have a whole lot in common with games like World of Warcraft or Clash of Clans. Yet we at Dr. Panda believe that every type of game—even the most complex, intense, and hardcore titles on the market—can learn something from the way that children’s games are designed.

Over the last few years, we have developed dozens of children’s games under the Dr. Panda franchise, and we’d like to share the top lessons we have learned about designing games for young audiences that apply to games for older players as well.
