This book teaches you how to use some pretty amazing software: Clickteam's "The Game Factory". If your goal is to quickly learn how to make 2D games, then this book is for you. The software (which comes with the book) includes a large number of graphics including animated characters, which you can make walk around the screen, fall, jump, kick or die. The 3D section is also good, and shows you how to use Pie-in-the Sky 3D software.

I think this is a nice game maker for rookies I got this book but pie in the sky software was old on mine so it wouldn't go because a have a new computer. The games Factory is a fun way to make 2d games. I've made a level on a game and its pretty good. I think this is good for rookies that want to become game makers. It talks you through the different games and walk you through carefully I like it.
