In that respect, I found myself getting more irritated as the case studies went on, since every developer's inevitable deadline push and 100hr work week just felt banal and awful rather than a triumph of creative passion. I'm not in game development (thank goodness!) and it's largely because the norms that go relatively unchallenged in this book work really well for select game devs with credibility and power, whereas the common employee is treated like garbage and told that this is for the great good. I doubt this was Schreier's intent, but the sum total of the book reads more like an attempt to spin complete management dysfunction as normal operating parameters. (  ) Kavinay | Jan 2, 2023 | djblooky | Dec 7, 2022 | [Diablo 3, Stardew Valley, Uncharted 4, Star Wars 1313 for example] This is not an expose or terribly scathing about the development time it takes but rather reads like the author took some of his blog posts, polished them and had them bound in a book. I was expecting some juicy intel that I hadn't already gotten off of IGN or any other video game website, but alas, that's not what this book is. Listen, this is a fun book to read but it isn't something that you need to have to call yourself a gamer or even mildly interested in gaming. What's in the book isn't anything you couldn't already look up yourself in public interviews or other blog sites. The author does acknowledge that the industry is a sausage fest and most of the people interviewed on record are men. This isn't to say that he deliberately did this, it's simply stating a fact of his writing. Do I recommend this book? Only if you're someone who really has not a single clue about video games or who doesn't know how to work the interwebs. I gave this 4 stacks because it's clear, simple, and really easy to read. **All thoughts and opinions are my own.** ( ) The_Literary_Jedi | Jun 28, 2022 | sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"You've got your dream job--making video games. You have a great project, great designs, and clever controls. One morning, you get a call from your producer. Turns out that wall-jumping trick won't work because the artists don't have time to design a separate animation just for the plumber to move that way. Also, your lead designer keeps micromanaging the programmers, which is driving them crazy. Your E3 demo is due in two weeks, and you know there's no way you can get it done in less than four. You'll have to cut out some of the game's biggest features just to hit your deadlines. And suddenly the investor is asking if maybe you can slash that $10 million budget down to $8 million, even if you have to fire a few people to make it happen? Welcome to video game development. In his years covering the industry, Jason Schreier has often heard developers say that any game actually released is a miracle. In Blood, Sweat, and Pixels, Schreier takes you behind the scenes of some of the biggest recent games to share never-before-told stories of the struggles and failures the development teams faced along the way. His reputation for great storytelling and fly-on-the-wall detail will provide readers with the clearest picture yet of what actually goes on behind the scenes. Each chapter will cover a different game, from major studios with nine-figure budgets to indie games with half a dozen people on their teams. The chapters will also focus on a variety of subjects in the process, from building the basics to adjusting for fan reaction post-launch. Blood, Sweat, and Pixels will give readers an unparallelled inside look at one of the biggest entertainment industries in the world"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
