商品描述

This book offers a perspective into a phenomenon becoming more and more common: AAA developers ‘going indie’. Written through the personal story of the author finding his way into the AAA games space, only to retreat back to indie games and consulting work and finding a new-old life making games for himself, and finding fulfillment in doing so. It is both a word of warning to creatives seeking a corporation and a call for disillusioned developers to break free and do something wild, creative, and unexpected. It is critical of common industry issues such as structural crunch, health issues, work life balance, and more, but is also a personal story of mismatched needs in doing creative work.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書提供了一個對一種越來越普遍的現象的觀點:AAA開發者「轉行獨立開發」。通過作者的個人故事,書中描述了他進入AAA遊戲領域的經歷,然後回歸獨立遊戲和諮詢工作,並在為自己製作遊戲中找到了新舊生活,並從中獲得了滿足感。這本書既是對那些尋求加入公司的創意人士的警告,也是對幻滅的開發者的呼籲,讓他們解脫出來,做一些瘋狂、有創意和出人意料的事情。它批評了行業中常見的問題,如結構性壓力、健康問題、工作與生活的平衡等,同時也是一個關於在從事創意工作中不匹配需求的個人故事。
