I was really looking forward for Tricks of the windows game programming gurus Volume 2 (seriously, if you do a back check in my profile you will find a bunch of "dammit! the book has been delayed again!" threads) but then, when it was finally out this year, I had no money and was looking for a job, so I didnt buy it, now, from what I read about it, doesn''t sound exactly as what I thought it was going to be.
Anyway, in the last year? probably just "Focus On 2D in Direct3D" by gamedev''s TAANSTAFL, in fact I just bought it because I LOVED Isometric Game Programming.
I did buy some 3d Game Modeling and some "how to draw comics" books to see if I can improve my game art, does that count?
Thinking of buying Jim''s Programming Role Playing Games with DirectX 8.0, but I am a SDL-OGL kind of guy and its $60
By the way, we really need some more OGL-SDL books out there, I am looking at you Prima Tech!
