Every aspect of a video game requires attention, care, and expertise during development. So if you're interested in jumping into the indie scene, you're going to need to learn to wear a lot of hats. Thankfully, this week's Humble Book Bundle by Mercury can give you a leg up on gamedev knowledge.
New to game development? For just one buck, you can get your feet wet with five DRM-free digital books. From design to programming to high-end production techniques, these books will give you a glimpse at what it takes to make a great game.
Spend at least $1
At the $8 tier, you'll also unlock six more multi-format ebooks that run the gamut from examining classic games to developing new titles for iPhones.
Spend at least $8
If you're looking for even more info, pony up a minimum of $15, and you'll receive the previous two tiers plus eight additional digital books. With this level, you can tackle 3D modeling, learn about AI, and sharpen your coding skills.
Spend at least $15
Beyond the savings, Humble Bundle is easy to love for another reason: Charitable giving. Part of your purchase will go to a charity, and it's up to you which one will benefit. The UK-based Whale and Dolphin Conservation organization is currently being featured, but you can easily swap to any one of the thousands of participating charities.
