Fun fact: Reading Matt's book "How to Make a Video Game All By Yourself" inspired me to work on Tossdown solo (I'm pretty sure I have posted quotes from the book) and now both our games are being published by the same publisher!

Libraries are the best. Did you know you can order a copy of How to Make a Video Game All By Yourself at your local library? They'll order a copy (which helps me) and lend it to you (which helps you). Everybody wins!
