Aaron Beaty is a recent graduate from Bradley University with a degree in interactive media, specializing in video game design. He spent his college career learning and mastering the art of developing video games and learning the ins and outs of the design process. Recently, he independently developed a game that has made it onto the iOS and Android markets. The game is titled, The Interruption System, and is currently available for free download.

In his spare time, Aaron devotes his time to continuing to expand upon his development background by researching the latest news and development tips in gaming. He also spends a lot of time writing poetry. He utilizes his poetic skills to assist him in building stories for games and expanding upon games that he's already played. Other than designing games and writing, he plays an extensive amount so that he can continue to learn from what other developers have done. What's a game designer if he doesn't know the game he's attempting to design, right?

This is his first time editing a book for use in the public. He was a proud contributor to this book, and he hopes that in the future, he will be able to contribute to future publications. He also hopes that you enjoy learning the beginnings of game development and continue to utilize the skills this book presents for future use, whether it is hobby or education.
