HL2 Mods For Dummies Released

Today my second book, Half-Life 2 Mods For Dummies has been released. Even though it was my second book, it was still just about as difficult to write as the first. Perhaps even more difficult. There was so much more I wanted to put into the book but I was greatly limited to the number of pages I could publish. I ended up cutting out chapters that I really wanted to include.

I still have an urge to publish more works, however if I were to do that, it wouldn’t be in book form. I’ve been contemplating the idea of putting out video tutorials on DVD. I’ve done several videos in the past, but those have been limited to time and file size so that they are easily downloaded. The question is, “Can such a product sell?” There would be just as much work involved in making a DVD as there is in writing a book plus all the publishing costs would be out-of-pocket. I would need to recuperate that money somehow.

   Hey! Congratulations on your second book. I really look forward to reading through this, as I really like playing around with Valve’s unique engine.

   I really hope it goes well, so good luck! As fot the DVD idea. Well.. look an Lynda.com. That site has a huge collection of videos for software. DVD’s are great because you can move them around. People can learn how to use things for their computer, while sitting in bed! I think something like this would seel really well, but it would have to be detailed. Which means more work. It would also need to be advertised well, but hey, I am sure you already know that. I know when I started modding, I would have killed for a book or a video. Then I found MODSonline. hehe.
