This new edition offers information on the latest techniques and development models, interviews with 12 top game designers, document templates that can be used during product development, and numerous industry resources. It is a practical guide that covers everything from the fundamentals of game design, to the trade-offs in the development process, to the deals a publisher makes to get a game on the shelves. No matter what your role in the industry, understanding this entire process will help you do your job better.

One of the best books on game design ever!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is without doubt one of the best books on game design ever written. The author does a tremendous job on educating the reader about the intricacies of commercial game development. He is one of the games industry's "seasoned veterans" with over 35 commercial titles released, as well as two Game of the Year (GotY) awards to his name. Anyone considering starting out to commercially design/produce a video game title (for any platform) must read this book. Then get every single member of their team to read this book. I'd go so far as to say that I wouldn't want to work with anyone who hasn't read this book! An absolute gem. Well done Bob!
