Title: My first book, "Game Development Hero: Create Games, Get Job Offers..." is out! Post by: Brice on February 10, 2011, 09:19:57 AM (http://thegameprodigy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/MeBook.jpg)
Hello everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that my book, Game Development Hero: Create Games, Get Job Offers, and Find Your Way in the Games Industry (http://thegameprodigy.com/gamedevhero/) is finally out and available in Print and Digital format! I wanted to thank everyone here on the TIGSource Forums who helped with the making of the book. I took (with permission of course) a couple of great quotes from people around the community (Tuba, Alistair, and others), and everyone was very supportive when I posted questions as to what people thought would be helpful to other developers. The suggestions led to some great research and great resources for those interested in making games and getting jobs. Overall I couldn't be prouder with how it's turned out. I was able to get some great advice and interviews (all captured in the book) from some high profile indie developers, including people from Narbacular Drop(Portal predecessor), thatgamecompany(flOw/Flower), and an IGF Finalist. So, thanks so much again to everyone for your support, I hope everyone enjoys it, and best of luck in your careers! If you do purchase the book, I would love to hear your feedback. :gentleman: (Forum-Meta question: I spent a while debating where to post this; is this the kind of post that would go in announcements, since it's not a game, though it's indie-game related?)

Congrats on getting a book out. I have not read it yet with my eyes but I hope it's good. Title: Re: My first book, "Game Development Hero: Create Games, Get Job Offers..." is out! Post by: mcc on February 10, 2011, 09:33:39 AM I read it with my teeth, as is my custom.

(Meta forum update: To any moderators, I tried to move this post from the General Forum to the Announcements forum, but found out that I can't delete my own posts. Sorry for the confusion; having it in two forums wasn't my intention.) Title: Re: My first book, "Game Development Hero: Create Games, Get Job Offers..." is out! Post by: JoGribbs on February 10, 2011, 09:36:03 AM I think a mod will move it eventually or you can ask them nicely. I don't really know; they move in mysterious ways.
