What is the book about?
[u]This book assumes no knowledge of game development on the reader's / listener's part[/u]. [b]It offers a sneak peek into my story and all the hardship and obstacles I had to overcome to make DARQ[/b]. In this book, I also share practical advice on how to go from knowing nothing about game development to making video games for a living (if that's something you're interested in). The book covers [b]mindset, preproduction, funding, business, law, development, marketing, PR, publishing, distribution, as well as pre-launch, launch, and post-launch strategies[/b].
