This book is a very complete guide to the Serious Game development process. It includes everything from how to define the goals of your project to how to produce and author your game. Also, several interesting topics are included like Game Design, Instructional Design and Gameplay Design.

This book has an easy-to-read format and the authors take great care in how the information is presented to the reader. The great amount of examples, many of the taken from real life situations make it easy to see how all the topics can be applied to your own project.

End to End Game Development is a book that I would recommend to start with, as it provides knowledge from all the game development process, which can then be deepened depending on your presonal interests.
