My Reference & Resource List

The references below include a mixture of miscellaneous research about:

• game design/theory
• other board/tabletop games "similar" to my concept
• Sonic the Hedgehog information
• prototyping and iteration
• resource web links (papercraft in particular)

Note that not all these have been used, mentioned or quoted from directly but I do like to keep a record of sources in case they are needed later on.
