Overview of Blood, Sweat, and Pixels: The Triumphant, Turbulent Stories Behind How Video Games are Made Book
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 abyss. 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.Taking some of the most popular, bestselling recent games, Schreier immerses readers in the hellfire of the development process, whether it s RPG studio Bioware s challenge to beat an impossible schedule and overcome countless technicalnightmares to build Dragon Age: Inquisition; indie developer Eric Barone s singlehanded efforts to grow country-life RPG Stardew Valley from one man s vision into a multi-million-dollar franchise; or Bungie spinning out from their corporate overlords at Microsoft to create Destiny, a brand new universe that they hoped would become as iconic as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings even as it nearly ripped their studio apart.Documenting the round-the-clock crunches, buggy-eyed burnout and last-minute saves, Blood, Sweat and Pixels is a journey through development hell and ultimately a tribute to the dedicated diehards and unsung heroes who scale mountains of obstacles in their quests to create the best games imaginable.
