New Book: Game Maker 8 Game Creation – Practical Tips & Techniques Vol.1

HobbyPress have published a short book focusing on the practical side of game creation using Game Maker 8.

Game Maker 8 Game Creation – Practical Tips & Techniques Vol.1 has 162 pages.

“The goal of this book is to provide starters with rich technical information so the best decision and judgment can be exercised when creating games through GM8.

This is not a step-by-step tutorial. This is also not a guide book kind of overview material. We place our focus on the practical side of game creation – practical tips and techniques one will definitely need when starting out a game project. We also tell exactly what can and cannot be done with the GM8 engine, and the kind of performance drawback that can be foreseen when the platform is not fed with the right inputs.”

-HobbyPress

At $13.95 on Amazon this is probably the cheapest Game Maker focused book available today.
