Unity Game Development Book

I wanted to make sure this got noticed. This book is being written by Will Goldstone and its very good so far. Im eagerly awaiting new chapters.

The book is complete now just the conclusion is missing, go grab it :slight_smile:

It’s a beautiful thing…

Just bought it and it looks great! Can`t wait to spend the next week going through this one :slight_smile:

Great work Will!

Thanks for letting us know, I am off to download the remaining chapters now !

EDIT: Am I right in assumming that the code download file has not been updated (or indeed needs to be)
ie files: 8181_1_code to 8181_08_code

thanks

Hiya, will you be posting a sample chapter so I can see your writing style? It’s kinda blind faith atm :slight_smile:

Cheers! And congrats on finishing.

When will the book be finally publish? I rather buy the real book then e-book :lol:

Publisher claims “Expected October 2009”.

Bought the RAW version of the book couple of days ago. Great read for beginners. Maybe even intermediate.
The book is heavily inspired on his video tutorials on http://www.learnmesilly.com

Hello, i just want to be sure please for scripters only ?

Thanks

Is it PC or Mac? cause I have a PC.

In reply to a couple posts above:

The book has plenty of JavaScripting in it. If you watch Will’s videos, you’ll realize that the book is very similar to what’s covered in those. In someways that’s good but you may feel that you might have wanted other things covered.

The book is suitable for both Mac and PC users.

I would recommmend purchasing the pdf (RAW) book as it’s good value for money. Having said that, if you print out the pdf manual, it’s about 2.5 inches thick !

i bought the book and it is really fantastic and helpful one, i like how it speak simple and easy way about many thing

am still read it but it just going to let me understand many things hope to find more to buy and read.

Many thanks

Wow, I started to use it, as a newbie (installed it for less than a week) you might want my feedback.

  • I find the p.15-16 a little vague. I think you should show with the help of the picture p.16 where is : assets, component… would be much more clear.
    Also picture on p.16 should be default view (2/3)
  • Unicron is no where to be found on my pc version, freshly installed. (don’t know on the web where it is either)
  • p.18 We’ll look into the drag and drop functionality further in Chapter 1. (well you might want to talk about chapter 2)
  • p.20 “to read more on the topics discussed in this chapter, in order to supplement your study of 3D development.” can you point at something?
  • P.25 Where did you get the resolution window, should mention.

Sorry, I don’t want to be a :twisted: but, as I can give feedback on a literature that is not published yet, I think as a new user, wish that book seem to aim (glad), I guess you would want some feedback.

I will keep post as long as I am reading.

I am having an issue on payment!! I’m using a VISA debit card to pay the book and the pdf files, but the it keeps showing up an error!!

Any ideas to resolve this issue?! NEED THIS BOOK BAD !!!
:x

it should work to buy “RAW” file , i may advice you to check out your Visa in case you don’t have enough credits inside it :slight_smile:

Try a CREDIT card.

Hi everyone

thanks for your comments, i’ve been busily fixing and ammending to chapters in a push to get the book out of RAW status and finished with my editors.

Thanks for the feedback, its really useful and i’ll try and include as much as possible in the final book. Really overwhelmed to see the response and am totally humbled by the interest shown by the community, you guys rock!
