These are my recent book purchases, from top left to bottom right they are:
David Perry on Game Design
Game Design. Theory and Practise
I’ve started reading this book and so far its great! A magnificent view on how to develop games, and how to go about it in a structured way. There are also some great interviews from big names like Sid Meier which talk about how they go about designing games, and how the successful games they produced came to be.
Mastering Unreal Technology: Version 1
This Book so far has been excellent, gives very clear instructions on what to do and how to do it.
Foundation Game Design with ActionScript 3
I was a bit disappointed with this book, this is my fault as I didn’t research to much as to what connect it covered. It focus’s on using Flash Builder rather than Flash Professional. However as my knowledge of Flash grows I find myself picking up this book more and more, as I’m know able to understand how to use the code within Flash Professional.
Bold Visions: A Digital Painting Bible
Digital Painting Techniques: Volume 1
Digital Painting Techniques: Volume 1
As I read through these books I will revisit the post and update it with my thoughts of the books, and also what I found useful from them.
