Sebastian Di Giuseppe started back in 2011 with Java game development and native Android development. With a huge passion, he spent a lot of time learning the different areas of game development, exploring programming areas, and creating prototypes of all kinds for several platforms. With a good plan for his improvement while having a full time job as an Android developer, he also spends a lot of time on the forum, java-gaming.org, learning and making contacts. He joined forces with a graphic designer and a musician to peruse more professional tasks and updates on their work that led him to meet a team of developers who called themselves Deeep Games. With them, he took a step up and also learned project and product management. With time, he joined and consulted other game development teams on management and processes. He now works as a full-time project and product manager and you can see him hang out on the Indie Game Developers ' Facebook group posting updates on prototypes, ideas, or recruiting for future projects. You check out his LinkedIn profile at https://ar.linkedin.com/in/sebadigiuseppe or his Facebook profile athttps://www.facebook.com/sebastian.digiuseppe.54.
I'd like to thank, Elmar Van Rijnswou and Andreas Krlmann for inviting me to join Deeep Games, which was a huge boost to my career. Packt Publishing, along with Aaron Lazar and Anish Sukumaran take a huge gratitude from me for being so patient, helpful, and supportive on the project, and for giving me this huge opportunity. Also, thanks to Oliver Mendoza for helping synthesize an easy and representative 3D model development along with its other areas.

Building a 3D Game with LibGDX is a book about how to create games with LibGDX that can work in 3D. We'll cover camera differences with 2D primitive shapes, a game design on the run approach, modeling our assets, getting assets from websites, preparing our models and downloading them to be used with LibGDX, animations, textures, a basic UI and with Tweening, all toward developing a basic FPS game. And finally, we will get to export to a desired platform along with troubleshooting usual problems.
, Setting Up Your Development Environment , will cover everything we need to install in order to have a workflow.
, An Extra Dimension , will go over the differences between a 2D and a 3D camera, and then set up a base to work with and draw primitive shapes.
, Working toward a Prototype , will go over the creation of a prototype, from the creation of a level with enemies, chase mechanics, physics, collisions, a user interface, and a mechanism to defend ourselves from the enemies.
, Preparing Visuals , will walk us through the basics of how to use Blender and go step by step through how to create a representative model for our game.
, Starting to Look Like an Actual Game , will help you prepare and import the model created in the previous chapter as well as from other sources. We will also get collision shapes from a static model and add basic shadows.
, Spicing Up the Game , will help you polish your game a little by adding a particle system and some UI Tweening. You will also work a bit on the performance of the game and explore the .NET API, brought by LibGDX, by adding online Leaderboards.
, Final Words , will demonstrate deploying games on various platforms and some basic troubleshooting. This chapter will also help you identify the platform we are running the game on, and finally, talk about room for improvement.
For this book we'll need the following:
- Intellij IDEA Community Edition, at least version 14.1.4
- LibGDX's Setup App, at least version 1.6.4
- Java JDK
- Android SDK with at least API 22
If you are a game developer or an enthusiast who wants to build 3D games with LibGDX, then this book is for you. Some basic knowledge of LibGDX and Java programming is required.
