I was given this book to review and tell what my thoughts were about it. In no way shape or form does this have any influence on what my thoughts on this are.I enjoyed the way the layout of this book is. It starts off with explaining things such as GDD and Pitch and how to use these in will help your approach in making games. There are so many different things in this book that are very creative and has a great learning curve.This book goes through Features, Gameplay Breakdowns, Project Scopes and Technical Requirements. Adding this to the other books of this series and you will be ahead of the game, pun included. I like that they breakdown each section to make it where you can understand so much more. Take it bite sizes and increase your knowledge.This book also talks about the players experience which gives another perspective for the game programmer. There are so many different things that the creators of this book put into it and you can tell it's created with passion and understanding that is very addictive. There is no limit when it comes to creating the perfect game or at least as perfect as it can be.The book goes on to explain Folder Structure as well as how to keep everything in harmony as you go along. By the time you finish reading the book you will feel like a pro.I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to either start creating games and even those who have been creating games for a while.Thank you for reading my review of this book. There is so much more that is in this book that I have not mentioned and I think that is up to those who will get this book and start their adventures with it.

This book covers a TON of topics surrounding game development principles. I enjoyed chapter 2 in particular, as it covers how to write clean code for your video game project, following industry-standard coding principles (SRP, OCP, LSP, ISP, DIP) and refactoring techniques (DRY, KISS). If utilized correctly, these methods for writing code can make your video game and you as a developer truly stand out. Making a game is one thing, but if you write sloppy code and patchwork things together, it can seriously impact your games performance, which can really turn off players. I found the examples and diagrams super helpful as well, as I am more of a visual learner. Overall, I’m very happy with how this book was organized, as well as the depth and clarity in which it was written. This is a book that I will be returning to as a reference guide while continuing on my video game development journey!

As a game developer creating UI engaging and functional UI was kind of challenging at one point. This book broke it down and made it easy to understand. This book is a go to for all things game development. For me at least.

I enjoyed reading this book about Unity game development and C# in Unity. As someone who has used Unity for personal projects I found this book very informative it gave a great introduction into game design and project structure which can go a long way outside of the Unity game engine. My personal favorite chapter was chapter eight where the book goes over integrating external assets, Learning about API's in Unity, and using pre-Built Components with C# in Unity.

I enjoyed reading this and learning new things about Unity's game development and more about C#. My favorite part was reading about API interactions with Unity games because that is the chapter I was definitely most interested in. It's extremely detailed, down to the point of how you should organize and document your project. I think it's a great deal to buy this and learn what you can because Unity's game engine is very powerful, and this book just shows how much you can do with it in a way that is easily read.
