Looking for some good design blogs

[Serenius]

Anyone have recommendations? I used to read Gamasutra for their expert blogs, but it seems to be a hit-or-miss affair nowadays in regards to quality or relevance.

There are a few good ones I follow, like Applied Game Design, The Game Prodigy, and Full Bright. Always on the lookout for more. I'd be in favor of even turning this thread into a compendium so others can find good online resources and articles.

Anybody?

Bueller?

Started to pull out my list, but realized most are on this page anyway.

If you use RSS feeds, you always get recommendations based on similar content.

I like the lost garden, he usually puts a lot of effort in each post, so while it may be scarce, it definitely is good.

Depends on what kind of writing you are interested in, I mostly read blogs related to MMOs. For game criticism I would go to BrainyGamer or check out the incredibly useful critical-distance.com every week or so for a compilation of blog posts. The fullbright blog has ended but still has a lot of interesting content if you haven't read it yet. Considering the links you have provided so far, I would recommend: click nothing and design reboot which i just recently rediscovered (thought he stopped writing). you might want to consider subscribing to this magazine as well

David Sirlin has a lot of good things on his blog, although all he has done the last year is promote his own games.

Rather than paraphrase stuff he's read on SRK.

Ugh, Gamasutra. Only unmentioned site I'd put forwards is Auntie Pixelante, though sometimes the content isn't worksafe. I generally find myself reading websites like sonichurricane.com, which aren't about design in themselves but just passionate players analysing the games they like, which I find inspirational. I'm surprised there's so few decent, practical design blogs out there.

Bumpity bump bump. Someone linked me to this blog a while back and I've found it a very high quality: http://altdevblogaday.org/

It's not just design but it all seems like a decent read. I think this is one my favourite articles:

taylor, i forget - did you do programming as well?

[Taylor]

Nah, I dabble, but I can't/don't do it professionally.

I don't know if it's "good" but don't blame me for a bit of self-promotion:

I read your blog I wish I could form and string together complete sentences, then I'd start my own blog!!! I'd be the talk of the blogosphere!

[Mr. Happy]

Ya CJ, your blog is really good

I like that you touch on some interesting topics that you don't see often. I also like that I don't need to keep dictionary.com open in a second tab to understand it (which can't be said of most designer blogs).

people who use big words to describe trivial things are usually not worth reading
