About this title

Reviews

The publisher is developing a collection of marketplace books similar to Writer's Digest's series for authors, focusing on the digital marketplace of games, software, 3D modeling, and the web. This first book includes discussions of costs, the history of computer games, game design, venture capital, getting a job in the industry, console development, software publishers, legal issues, market analysis, and business plans. The successful fulfillment of a very good idea, this belongs in both reference and circulating collections.
