Why is this valuable (or not)?

For book lists, is it a book? For course lists, is it a course? etc.

great resource, but our game development resources are currently in "misc". there are certainly enough of them to support a new category. Would be great to create the new category, with other appropriate books. If you don't feel up to moving them, to the new category, put this in misc and we can leave it to another PR to create the category.

I transferred 6 books from the "Misc" category to the new "Game Development" category

I think it's not necessary, in the repository there are some information that there aren't in the other site. I let the staff decide what to do.

The ebook has two main repositories where the sources can be found (both on Gitlab and Github) but the epub and pdf versions are published on itch just for ease of deployment. Feel free to reference any url you wish.

Thanks to @davorpa

IIsn't this past the "in process" phase?

Due to the nature of the project itself (it's meant to be some kind of "Evolving Body of knowledge"), the book could be seen as "always in process". As of now it features about 400 pages of content but it still has a lot of placeholders that I think could frustrate some readers. Sadly I'm on my own in writing this book, so progress has slowed down considerably, hopefully this isn't giving you trouble.

Again, thanks for the help and letting this book be in your repository.
