Developing video games-hero's journey or fool's errand? The
creative and technical logistics that go into building today's
hottest games can be more harrowing and complex than the games
themselves, often seeming like an endless maze or a bottomless
abys.
In Blood, Sweat, and Pixels, Jason Schreier takes readers on a
fascinating odyssey behind the scenes of video game development,
where the creator may be a team of 600 overworked underdogs or a
solitary geek genius. Exploring the artistic challenges,
technical impossibilities, marketplace demands, and Donkey
Kong-sized monkey wrenches thrown into the works by corporate,
Blood, Sweat, and Pixels reveals how bringing any game to
completion is more than Sisyphean-it's nothing short of
miraculous.
