Rating: 9

I’m a hobbyist Game Designer. My wife and I actually started our own game publishing group, Karmic Egg. While looking for resources and inspirations, I stumbled across this book, which came very highly reviewed on Amazon.

The top rating is well-deserved — this book is both thorough and well-written. Fullerton provides in-depth discussion and a progressive approach to introducing the material. It begins with the absolute basics, discussing the basics of where game ideas come from, and ends with a treatise on the inner-workings of the game publishing industry.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to learn more about game development, as a trade, and especially for anyone looking to do it as a profession.
