    english isn't my mother language, so sorry if my thread seem odd. i'm looking to expand my library with game development books, i'm not looking for "how to program or how use unity", something like this book, something to take me to the next stage in my learning.

    its don't have to be 100% about unity but if it related or recommended, it will be great

    C# Yellow Book? Not Unity-related, but will help you with C#.

    I thought so at first but now I'm not positive that a beginner's book would be useful in this case. I've glanced through the C# Yellow Book and it's mostly aimed at those who don't know C# at all with generics being about as high level as it gets.

    Programming Game AI by Example

    It's not Unity or C#. But it's a great introduction to AI programming.

    It's not a beginners level by any means, you'll want to already know how to program and get around an engine before you tackle this one.

    This series also has an app that has lens cards (really only useful if you've read the book but some of them are understandable without having read it) & you can by a printed set of cards. Useful to randomly pick 3 at various stages of development to get you thinking about things that you may not have given any thought to in the initial rush to make something.
