Latest News 28th September - 2005

The CDROM was sent off two weeks ago, and was approved last week ago. The good news is that the book is now currently at the printers being made. I dont have a specific release date but it is expected to be in stores (USA) by mid-October. So that is about two weeks from now ;). Not too much longer to wait!

Thanks - Webmaster.

Book Update - 03-09-05
The final manuscript has completed its last stage of editing, the CDROM has been created and a copy is being shipped by courier on Monday, to the publisher. The book is expected to go to print in the next week or so, as well as the CDROM going for stamping. The book will appear in the USA first (due to being an American publisher) and follow on to other countries shortly after. The book is a few weeks late of its September 10th date, but all in all i am very pleased with the final results, and I hope you will be too.

News of its availability will be posted as soon as its available - Webmaster.

Book progress
The Book "Make Amazing Games in Minutes" has now completed it's draft stage. The manuscript was posted off to Charles River Media today (17th May) and will now go through a number of editorial and quality checks.

The great news is that the book now contains the source code to six different games, four of which you are given step by step instructions to make, games based on different concepts (Platform, Scrolling and Bat & Ball), one game based on Retro.

We have also included the source code to two Advanced Games, for you to try, open and understand.

Still lots to do, but I've got a couple of days rest from writing - Webmaster.
