Our pal Ryan Rigney from Pocketful of MB has undertaken a rather lofty venture to write a book based on interviews with more than 100 different developers of the iOS' top selling games. The book contains 67 chapters which are devoted to various popcultural games on the iOS and many of the developmental tidbits that went into making those projects come alive.

Rigney stated that…

The chapters are broken in multiple sections, with a smaller introductory section describing what makes the game mechanically interesting or otherwise noteworthy, and the second (larger) section detailing the story behind the game's creation. Interesting fun facts and otherwise unknown statistics are also included.

The book covers a number of different topics from top name mobile heavy hitters, including George Fan from Plants vs Zombies, Jaakko Iisalo the lead designer from Angry Birds, and Donald Mustard from Infinity Blade, to name just a few.

There are also a few key quotes from the book that will help entice gamers to pick up the book, including Justin Smith, creator of Enviro-Bear 2010 who quipped…“I just thought the game was going to be a complete failure and didn't want to drag anyone down with me."

Rigney was a contributing writer here at Cinema Blend, owned his own blog at Slapstic and eventually moved on to tackle all the crazy stuff happening in the emerging mobile industry over at Pocketful of MB. You can look for Buttonless: Incredible iPhone and iPad Games to land on store shelves, published by A. K. Peters/CRC Press, later this year during the holiday season.
