I understand that the latest version of the IR is currently only available to instructors who are teaching courses at schools that have officially adopted the fourth edition of Game Development Essentials: An Introduction, which means that the school has placed an order for multiple copies of the book for the course that is being taught.

I understand that the latest version of the IR is currently only available at no charge as files in a Drive folder and that Novy Publishing will be expanding on these resources, which will be available on a web-based platform in the future for a fee.

I understand that the latest version of the IR is currently only available as a courtesy and is not for sale – and that I will not sell the materials provided and will not allow students or other third parties to gain access to information marked as “CONFIDENTIAL” (such as exams and answer keys) to avoid academic misconduct, dishonesty or integrity violations.
