Software Engineering on Games

I would recommend game architecture and design by Andrew Rollings and Dave Morris, there are some other good books to checkout the postmortems from game developer by austin grossman. I'm doing some research on software engineering and games too, currently in architectures and games and usability and games.

Feel free to drop a line too :) Thanks

Does anyone know where can i find the Gary's Booch slides on GDC 2006 conference?

Gamasutra has a bunch of game post mortems.

When I visit that site I just get a rotating cube?

Original post by Juan Diego I'm interested in any book or article about software engineering on games. does anybody know?.

Software Engineering and Computer Games I never got around to reading it myself (our library has it), but it looked interesting.

Software Engineering for Game Developers

I have this book, and while I disagree with some of it, most of it is right on the money.

Original post by Anonymous Poster Should you not have attended GDC '06 watch out for the slides to Grady Booch's excelent presentation on game architecture.

Having just read through the slides I fail to see what is excellent about the presentation (as I see it, it is not even about games or games architecture). Can you elaborate on what you think are the strong points?

Ha for once i agree with you ;-)

Although Grady Booch is highly regarded in SE community (but more for his work on UML) I think he just wants to jump on the "lets focus on games" bandwagon like many other. Its basically a rip of of Jonathan blows article " what makes game development hard"
