Its good news though, we've been in need of a Gamekit book update for a while.

In the official announcement, Ton says that it's slated for December, just in time for Christmas.
Thanks a lot now i can restart my study about Blender GE
Can't wait! I purchased the old GameKit a couple of months ago and haven't even had time to start but I'll purchase the new GameKit as well.
You guys should also update the eShop since the GameKit is still listed there at a price of euro 8.
Woohoo! Can't wait for it \m/
@Olaf: no harm in raising some funds ;-)
Wow that's great news. I didn't even know about the old book so thanks for it too.
I've been searching the internet for anything I could download about the game engine.
Wow !
I tested to make something, i read the 12th chapiter, it's very interesting and i can make funny stuff ! tanks a lot !
That's very powerfull ! I'll buy the new version when it'll up to go far away :)
Brilliant. Thanks for the free download.
I look forward to the second edition when it is released.
i just thought of a funny game: Southpark's Eric Cartman's "Kick 'em in the nuts 2000". That'll be dope.
Thank you, very interesting book and cd

Woah! I was looking to buy this book, but now, knowing about the creator making a new one, i'm gonna wait for it while i read the first book
@RedBirdiii: They say that they will keep it as a donation support purchase. That is why they are still selling it. I was going to purchase this but have already downloaded it and will purchase the upcoming version but inbetween will see what can be adlibbed to the current version with the first gamekit.
Chap. 17 and 18 has scaried me ! I didn't anderstand anything.
I hope 19 is easier.
@redbirdiii: Some people are on dialup they pay per minute.
@redbirdiii: the answer is on the page that you're linking to:
"We are currently processing the work for the book, we are scheduling to deliver books early december. For that reason this download will become available freely on the Apricot blog project. We keep it in our store as a donation/support product though. Thanks! "
But why the first edition have sell on the internet?
Fuhhhh, i'm going hard to find this ebook first edition
