The book that shows how the sausage is made
Blood, Sweat, and Pixels: The Triumphant, Turbulent Stories Behind How Video Games Are Made by Kotaku alum Jason Schreier is an intense behind-the-scenes look at video game development hell.
Schreier goes into the ins and outs of how all game development, from indies like Stardew Valley to huge “triple-A” productions like Destiny, push makers to their limits. Through 10 captivating stories, Schreier builds a troubling image of how hard-working developers gamble nerves and wellbeing to ship a game. But it’s sobering—you’ll be reminded of how much we give up for work.
