This book contains a interesting list of 30 implementable projects in the Indie Game Development scene. All of these projects were created in Game Maker Studio (1 and 2) and can also be implemented in other game engines of the programmer's choice. Each of the projects is graded according to the difficulty and the challenges are highlighted. A difficulty upgrade and downgrade is also included to make the project simpler and easy or more complex but better. A timescale for each of the projects is also implemented to ease the process of applicability of the game concepts in different settings. These details aims to give an aspiring indie game developer the foresight for any future game project which he/she wishes to implement firsthand.This book also aims to separate what is implementable from what is not when it comes to the game creating process itself and not just the idea. Aspiring game developers can also try my related book "GAME DEVELOPMENT FOR BEGINNERS IN GAME MAKER: 10 complete step by step projects!" which goes into ten other projects in much more detail.

This book aims at filling that gap with an introduction to the monetization aspects with examples from real-life projects.This book discusses the unique challenges and opportunities the mobile platform brings for developers in game maker. In the first part the book includes the aspects of the target users and target devices, which is very different from console or PC gamers. It also includes the special considerations that should be kept in mind for sandboxed environments of mobile devices. In later parts, the nuances of advertisements, pricing and the use of analytics is touched upon. Examples of the implementation of monetization is illustrated by two game projects.

(http://a.co/d/ccKdUnx ) and the book "INDIE GAME DEVELOPMENT: 30 challenging ideas for beginners!", which is also a recommendation for supplementary reading with this book.While this book is aimed at Game Maker with mobile targets, beginner developers on different targets and development tools can also find this book useful.
