You can read them online through our catalog. Take a look at The Indie Game Development Survival Guide, Beginning Illustration and Storyboarding for Games, Beginning Game Graphics, Game Scripting Mastery, Game Character Design Complete, or The Dark Side of Game Texturing. In ebook and hard copy versions we have Ed Byrne’s Game Level Design. We also have ebooks specifically about working in Quake, 3DS Max 8, Maya, or ActionScript. If you’re interested in these or similar titles, just Ask a Librarian.

If you’re setting a game during the Cuban Missile Crisis, look through a library. Find out what people were wearing, what other issues were in the news, how houses were furnished, what cars were being driven. Especially include things which now seem foreign. –Graham Nelson
