Customer Reviews & Comments
Well, I didn't read this book but I give it one star because of a sentence on the book's review: "But who wants to do it from scratch?" Well, I do. If I'm going to build a realy serious game I will make it all mine and use my own engine as that is the way I could change everything and use all of it's features. I am not going to use someone's else engine because maybe it won't be able to do everything i want it to do, and that will make some problems, because it's not mine and I wouldn't know how do I change it. When I'm learning to write a game, I want to learn how to build an engine because this is the only way I could succeed.
