HUGE thanks to Monty Sharma for yesterday's presentation about designing quality games!

We all got some technical insights on crafting mechanics that are meaningful and enjoyable to players. We also got to hear some strategies for making successful commercial games, and tips on which skills are most valuable when working in the games industry.

Overall, an awesome first guest speaker for the semester!
