I was in a discord, and someone suggested this book and the authors discord. What a blessing. Such a good book for beginners like myself. Of course it’s not for high level experts even though there is so much wisdom here: I love it. GREAT job Amigo!

This is just a pep talk, the title seemed like a Bible on helping you actually building video games. Why he didn’t just call it a pep talk is beyond me. I’m asking for a refund because every chapter is like you can do it, and that’s it.
