Game Design Engineering

I am in the process of implementing my new website. This page is not ready yet. Sorry! Follow me on Mastodon to be notified when the complete site is online. So far there is only a literature list. :)

Recommended Reading

Here is an incomplete list of literature that I recommend to anyone who wants to create games. It is incomplete and dynamic, I will update it in the future. I'm not sure if the order is important. But if in doubt, I would just start at the top.
