Book size (printed size) dictates the number of pages but anything over 70k words is generally expected/required for the stuff I am doing. Some of these books will be touching on 100k words when all done. 200-300 pages.

Mainly been writing the running books, so I need to get back to the video game books soon. I'd like to make better progress on GameDev Book 1 as it's interesting to me. But requires me to learn the software at the same time.

Four books in full production, slowly moving forward, I’m now deciding if when completed I hold them back to early next year. I need to beat my first year sales (2020), if I can't find a way to improve yearly sales then why bother?

This is should a cool idea/concept!

haha, thanks, I know what you mean, it takes me a lot longer to write them these days. I find that I can't focus on one long enough. I need to swap between projects to keep on track.

Book 3 is different to my normal books as it's taking what I've learnt from 17 years in the games industry as a games designer. Different style, book size etc. I hope its something that gamedev courses will end up using.

Book 2 is very early in development. It's a very exciting project and one that I'll probably do a Kickstarter for. I want it professionally printed. But until it's written and formatted I won't be showing/doing anything with it.

Book 1 is a game dev book on a popular game engine. One I haven't written about before, but it's exciting learning something new. Currently on Chp4. This is the first book I'll probably do some significant advertising for.
