Getting started making video games
What you need to know about Unity 5

https://www.packtpub.com/packt/offers/free-learning

Oggi disponibile lo SkillUp 2016, un report che analizza l'andamento delle professioni e degli strumenti IT (in generale no VideoGame).
Utile se si vuole dare uno sguardo a dove stia andando l'IT. Comunque è sempre bene ascoltare/leggere più campane, mi raccomando
Da notare a pagina 14/24 l'elenco dei tools più usati dove compaiono, con una certa predominanza nelle piccole aziende, nomi come Blender, Unity, Unreal (il più usato), Virtual Reality : probabile che il comparto VG e USA nell'industria del VG dia il suo contributo.

Android Game Programming by Example

Android gaming is a hot topic these days, but one of the few areas of technology that does not have an abundance of clear and useful documentation online. However, there is an ever-increasing demand for Android games. This book will help you get up to speed with the essentials of game development with Android. The book begins by teaching you the setup of a game development environment on a fundamental level. Moving on, the book deals with concepts such as building a home screen UI, implementing game objects, and painting the scene at a fixed resolution. Gradually, it builds up to the implementation of a flexible and advanced game engine that uses OpenGL ES 2 for fast, smooth frame rates. This is achieved by starting with a simple game and gradually increasing the complexity of the three complete games built step by step. By the end of the book, you will have successfully built three exciting games over the course of three engrossing and insightful projects.
