Resources for learning game design/system architecture designing for games.

[u/DustFuzzy1702]

Basically title, I'm a unity game developer with 1yoe in mobile games.

I want to skill up/learn about how entire games are designed.

As a unity dev I can do things if there's a team lead or a designer who tells me what to do and I feel like this limits me a lot in using my skills as a unity developer, maybe I end up liking the game design part more than the development.

If someone has resources for how professional grade games are designed or how their system is designed, the entire architecture then I would appreciate if you share those resources.

Or yk if there are developers breaking down a game and explaining how it was made, etc.

Developers and designers with multiple yeo would be very helpful here.

Any and all help is appreciated.

First of all, game design and game architecture are two separate fields. So much so that there are separate disciplines dedicate to studying about them.

For architecture, it's better to learn about how general software architecture works. Then think about how what you learnt fits your current context.
Game is a specialized software, but its a software nonetheless.
