Great book 25 Mar 2004

By Kimiko the Furball

Format:Paperback

Like people have already written, this book is more about the industry than how you're going to get into it. I bought the book knowing that, but I found this book very useful, covering many subjects that I wanted to learn more about. Some of the stuff he discusses in the book are things you can find out by doing simple searches on Google, but I think he has done a good job on collecting information that is crucial when trying to get into this business.

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who want to develop a game.

Great book, interesting and informative! 22 Oct 2003

By Ben Hutchings

Format:Paperback

This book was really good, it tells you all you need to know about the industry before you commit your-self to trying to get into it. The only thing I would say is that it does concentrate too much on 'networking', were you have to know someone in the industry to get in. That said it does give the warnings and the information to decide if it is the right path for you. Also it has very good interviews with people in the industry, a good bit is were it give you a 'day in the life of' for each sector of the industry form real people in the industry.
Would recommend this to anyone looking to enter the industry or to anyone remotely interested in the industry!

Buy to find out ABOUT the industry, not get into it 4 Oct 2003

By Kelly

Format:Paperback

Well, I liked this book until I got to the chapter that actually told you how to get into the industry. It explains how the industry works, and is very interesting, however in a nutshell, it says unless you know someone in the industry, forget it.
