I absolutely loved Don't Wait!: Build Retro Games and Level Up Your Skills! It completely changed my perspective on Retro Games. At first I wasn't sure about Game Development, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Creative Coding is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Programming. What I appreciated most was how the book made Game Design Basics feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

Prologue Pundit
Don't Wait!: Build Retro Games and Level Up Your Skills offers a compelling take on Retro Games, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Game Development is excellent, I found the sections on Beginner Game Design less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Beginner Game Design that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Indie Game Development more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for 2D Games will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Creative Coding, if not the definitive work.
