Useful if you're not already in the industry.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Game Developer's Marketplace (Paperback)
Game Developer's Marketplace is well-written and interesting, and covers just about everything to do with designing and marketing a game. Its scope is so large, however, that the author is able to touch only briefly on each topic, favoring general advice for those new to the industry over in-depth analysis useful to the more experienced. I recommend the book only for those who have little or no previous game design experience, and for them I rate this book at 5 stars. If you already know what you're doing, however, give this one a pass.

This review is from: Game Developer's Marketplace (Paperback)
This book does an excellent job of combining the insites of many experienced industry people. I especially was glad to read the section on getting funding. The book is very readable, well organized, and extremely useful. I wish the CD-ROM had some sample documents though - such as a sample design spec and perhaps letters for funding. Overall, very useful and helpful book.
