My review of Game Design and Development: Code, Psychology and Analytics (Paperback)

Posted by Peyton Taylor 1 hours ago

I've been working with games for over five years, and I still found valuable insights in Game Design and Development: Code, Psychology and Analytics (Paperback). The chapter on psychology particularly transformed how I approach my work. The examples are practical and the explanations are clear without being oversimplified.

As a senior developer, I'm often skeptical of technical books, but Game Design and Development: Code, Psychology and Analytics (Paperback) surprised me. The authors don't just explain how things work—they explain why they work that way, which is crucial for truly understanding these concepts. The sections on programming are worth the price alone.
