5.0 de 5 estrellas Excellent book on the 'sausage making' of video game production

Opinión de cliente de Vine de producto gratis( ¿Qué es esto? )Compra verificada
This is an excellent book on the inner workings of the video game industry. The author is quite thorough, providing detailed information about producing video games in the modern market where it might take several years and hundreds of people to complete a project. I'd highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the video game industry.

Producing Games is a great book for those who have no concept of how project management, in any field, works. If you are the least bit familiar with how game studios operate (like the difference between the developer and publisher) you probably can skip this book. I actually did not finish the book because I felt very little of the book was actually useful knowledge. Much of it is universal project management skills. For example one portion of the book details all the different forces pulling on a producer, primarily embodied by the people holding the purse strings and the creative team. Anyone with any experience in project management has felt the pull between budgetary constraints and the creative imagination.

Who is this book for?

I would recommend this book for high school students or first year college students. For those interested in game production with very little professional experience, this book provides a very good outline. For anyone else, look for something a bit more in-depth.

5.0 de 5 estrellas A thorough, well-written book and a valuable resource for those wanting to get into the video game industry!
Calificado en Estados Unidos el 5 de febrero de 2010
Opinión de cliente de Vine de producto gratis( ¿Qué es esto? )
When it comes to video games, I'm sure that many people who play them often have thought about "what if" in working in a career that deals with video games outside of working at the local video game shop. How to break into the industry, how to become a producer?

Of course, there have been podcasts, interviews on television or online of how to break into the industry and for the most part, most answer in a similar situation - start out as a game tester! In other words, start from the bottom where you would make near $10 or a little more (or less) and hopefully get noticed and move up in the ranks of the industry. Sounds easy but in truth, as many of my cohorts who have done so, sometimes you get lucky but when times are bad, your job is never as a game tester is never secure.

But what about the big jobs as a producer. The ones that we seen interviewed on "X-Play" or some video game show. Who are these people. How did they get there? What do they do?

Fortunately, Focal Press has those answers in their book "Producing Games: From Business and Budgets to Creativity and Design" by D.S. Cohen and Sergio A. Bustamante II.

Both writers break the book down in the following chapters:

I. Section One: What is a Video Game Producer

1. Producer Primer - What a producer manages, why become a producer, how to become a producer
2. Producing at a Developer - The Schedule, development budget, pitching ideas, representing the team, managing milestone submissions
3. Producing at a Publisher - Managing schedules, budgets, milestones, approvals, testing, support, stakeholders and more.
4. Producer Roles - Executive Producer, Senior Producer, Producer, Associate Producer and more.
5. Size and Scope: Large vs. Small, Licensed vs. Original - Team sizes, small and big budgets, long vs. short schedules, etc.
6. Producing Skills: Managing a game, Key Skills of a Producer
7. Tools of the Trade - Software Solutions, 3-D Graphics and Modeling Packages

II. Section Two: The Process in a Nutshell

1. The History of Game Development
2. Game Project Lifecycle Overview - Concept Phase through the Pre-Alpha and Release Candidate
3. The Development Team - The various roles involved in development
4. The Publishing Team - The various roles in publishing
5. Publishing Selecting Developers - Projects that start with the publisher, finding a developer and more.

III. Section Three: Scheduling and Structure

1. Scheduling and Structure - Schedules, Troubleshooting, needs of departments and more.
2. Development Plan Management - Tasking the project, delegation and more.
3. Budget Management - Creating a project budget, where to cut corners and more.
4. The Milestone Schedule - Creating and managing a milestone schedule
5. Pipelines - Examples, pods and cross-disciplinary teams and more.

2. Reviews and Approvals - Approving Pipeline, Forms and more.
3. Meetings

2. Game Ratings: The ESRB and You
3. First-Party Submissions

IX: Section Nine: Post-Production

1. Producer Role During Post-Production Phase
2. Archiving
3. Postmortem

Overall, "Producing Games: From Business and Budgets to Creativity and Design" is a pretty in-depth book for those seriously wanting to get into the video game industry. D.S. Cohen who has over ten years experience has worked on over 50 current and next-gen console video games. Sergio Bustamante has worked in the industry for 16 years and has worked at Activision/Treyarch, EA/Tiburon and Brash Entertainment. Both men do a pretty thorough job in showing that the job is not easy and takes a lot of persistence, person willing to accept the stress and challenges and to be on schedule, to work around the budget and overall being mindful of the people of the various departments.

The good thing is that they do show the various roles of the video game industry and what people do. So, this is book is also a good way to figure out where you think your talent lies and work to that career goal.

Again, if you are wanting to seriously get into the industry, this is one book that is a valuable resource and worth the purchase!

3.0 de 5 estrellas A relevant book that makes itself nearly irrelevant through a poor editing decision.
Calificado en Estados Unidos el 9 de febrero de 2010
Opinión de cliente de Vine de producto gratis( ¿Qué es esto? )
I really do want to promote this book, but one big editing decision makes it hard to push. That decision is to make the book entirely black and white. This book will be sitting in the same section competing for space with other books which in full color about the same same price. I know the old saying goes "you shouldn't judge a book by its cover" but we are talking about a book that is going to have a consumer market of those with disposable income that's mainly going towards video games. Those that play it are likely to be curious as to how to make one themselves. That's not to say every gamer has some attention deficit disorder but they already have games attracting them in FULL COLOR. A book that can barely show the amount of work games go through with black and white photography (that looks like mud in this book) well...it's really hard to get someone to spend money on this book. The only color parts of this book is the cover, and the inside of that cover advertising other books from the same publisher.

It now makes the book look like an old out of date textbook manual, rather than presenting itself as it should. A book about one of the most flourishing economical sects in the entertainment industry.

The information in this book is targeted for Beginners and Intermediates. The language is pretty friendly so if you're new to the industry you're not going to get lost.

The book goes into key terms such as roles. What is a Producer and what does he/she do. There are even different kinds of producers involved in games such as a Cinematic Producer and Licensing Producer, than just being an Associate and Excecutive producter. The book then goes through the rundown at developing a game. It also talks about who to look for to fill out roles when you decide on the kind of game you want and production run (as in how long it should take to develop the game). You also get a small primer on the history of developing games. After all this isn't PONG but extremely detailed games and environments making believable or realistic characters. There are other factors you need to know such as the companies you'll be developing the platform for and other factors that can help or hinder you in game development - such as investors, and timing and budgeting.

Once again this book isn't an extremely hard read and the sections are pretty well organized....but that black and white decision....that I think will hurt more than help attract user interested in game development and may just pick up another book on a shelf that attracts the consumer more.
