VGC Ultimate Edition (Video Game Careers) (Volume 4)
Are you a gamer? Do you dream about making your own games, or do you know someone who does? The Video Game Careers series was written just for you. Gaming is big business, and it’s getting bigger all the time. Every year, tens of thousands of passionate fans try to break into the industry. And with the popularity of gaming growing higher and higher, that number just keeps climbing. But for most aspiring developers, trying to find a way in becomes frustrating because they lack the skills and experience to position themselves as valuable hires. Or worse, they do get a job, only to find that they have the wrong mindset for game development and wash out after a short time – the average career in games lasts less than five years. The Video Game Careers is a series of short, highly readable career guides for gamers, parents, or anyone who wants to understand game development. “The Video Game Careers series is just what an aspiring game creator needs to hear. When ‘Hardy Says’, you had best listen!” – Scott Rogers, author of Level Up! The Guide to Great Video Game Design Video Game Careers books are chock-full of humor, proven insights from industry pros, and fascinating, behind the scenes anecdotes from some of the biggest projects in gaming history. The Ultimate Edition collects all three books in the series into one handy complete volume, including: Book 1 – The Beginners Guide The perfect intro for kids, parents or anyone interested in a career in game development.
