Unusually, Humble Bundle put up another books bundle on Monday, and it's for:
Humble Book Bundle Unreal Engine & Unity 5 presented by Packt, who've been generously giving us free computer books for a while now.
Fixed tiers of $1, $8, and $15 (no new titles added next week). The $1 tier includes a free 1-month subscription to their Mapt service which is like O'Reilly's Safari and allows you to online access all the titles in their catalogue. Both the $8 and $15 tiers include training videos.

This bundle is Packt with information. We've teamed up with Packt Publishing to bring you a collection of resources for game development using Unity and Unreal Engine. Get Unity 5.x By Example, Unity Virtual Reality Projects, Unreal Engine 4 Game Development Essentials, and more!

Also of interest to game programmers is their new:
Humble GameMaker ReBundle, containing a rerun of the game-making applications, source code, and retail versions of the ensuing games made with the titular dev software.
There's a sampler freebie of three Android/Windows games available in return for newsletter signup.
And the
Humble Mobile Bundle Puzzles Critical Hits has more items of interest to aspiring programmer/game devs.
The freebie sampler contains a number of bonus goodies for the game
Slayaway Camp, including concept art and other behind-the-scenes dev stuff, as well as the soundtrack and wallpapers, and an audiobook reading of some haiku used in the game. There's also a freebie soundtrack for
Human Resource Machine, a programming puzzle game included in the bundle which is really very nifty. I bought the Mac version in a previous Humble Bundle, and this was worth the price of the bundle to get the Android one.
Just a reminder that the
Humble RPG Book Bundle Doctor Who is expiring later today at 11 AM Pacific Time, and the pop culture-exploring non-fiction
Humble Book Bundle Fandom & Philosophy presented by Wiley-Blackwell still has a week to go.
Bundle of Holding's new RPG gamebook offering is for
Palladium Fantasy, an old school fantasy adventure game from 1984 (the actual year, not the Orwell novel setting). Still available for a limited time are the previous
Numenera and
Numenera +2 Ninth World Discovery, a sci-fantasy exploration game in a world with both nanotechnology and strange creatures, and
Rifts, a sci-fi adventure set on an alien-invaded Earth.
