  It's been revised & enhanced - plus it's a nice way of supporting the author.
  
  "Level Up! 2nd Edition has been NEWLY EXPANDED to teach you how to develop marketable ideas, learn what perils and pitfalls await during a game’s pre-production, production and post-production stages, and provide even more creative ideas to serve as fuel for your own projects including:
  
  Developing your game design from the spark of inspiration all the way to production
  Learning how to design the most exciting levels, the most precise controls, and the fiercest foes that will keep your players challenged
  Creating games for mobile and console systems – including detailed rules for touch and motion controls
  Monetizing your game from the design up
  Writing effective and professional design documents with the help of brand new examples
  Level Up! 2nd Edition is includes all-new content, an introduction by David “God of War” Jaffe and even a brand-new chili recipe –making it an even more indispensable guide for video game designers both “in the field” and the classroom."

  @SinisterSoft I took the demo pages from the 2nd edition - they are no different from the first one
  @Apollo14 I can not download free materials for some reason

  @oleg - possibly the demo pages on Amazon have not been updated or the extra information is after those pages?

  @oleg I received the free materials - you have to turn off any popup/adblockers.

  @oleg it seems that the free material from that site peaks out at 2017 so the information is totally irrelevant, or so it would appear.

  Personally, I like these channels very much:
  PocketGamerbiz
  CasualConnect
  GDC
  AppMasters (it's very down to earth, has more practical gems, despite plenty of blablabla (I guess it's not only their sin, nowadays blablabla is everywhere)
  
  Our brain and dopamine addiction while playing games:
  
  
  p. s. If you're talking about playliner, there's plenty of useful info, you just have to dig it, it's not pre-chewed.
