I'm excited to announce that my book "GAMEDEV" is now available as an AUDIOBOOK- it's narrated by Yong Yea, and he's amazing at it!
What is the book about?
This book assumes no knowledge of game development on the reader's / listener's part. It offers a sneak peek into my story and all the hardship and obstacles I had to overcome to make DARQ.
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 mindset, preproduction, funding, business, law, development, marketing, PR, publishing, distribution, as well as pre-launch, launch, and post-launch strategies. I hope it helps some of you, even if you're not interested in game development.
The book features advice from the following industry professionals
- Quentin De Beukelaer (Game Designer of Assassin's Creed Unity and Ghost Recon Breakpoint)
- Mark Kern (former lead for World of Warcraft, producer of Diablo II and Starcraft)
- Bjørn Jacobsen (Sound Designer of Cyberpunk 2077 and Divinity: Fallen Heroes)
- Austin Wintory (Grammy-nominated composer of Journey)
- Wojciech Piejko (Lead Designer of Observer and The Medium)
- Barbara Kciuk (Narrative Designer of Blair Witch)
- Rami Ismail (Developer of Nuclear Throne and Super Crate Box)
- Dan Adelman (Biz Dev of Chasm and Axiom Verge)
- Scott Millard (Publisher, Managing Director at Feardemic, Former Managing Director at Bandai Namco)
- Stephen McArthur (Video Game Attorney)
- Toms Martin (Video Game Investor)
What others had to say
Have a fun Spooktober!
To celebrate Lloyd's favorite month, DARQ is now 60% off. If you ever wanted to pick up the game or gift it to your friends, now is a good time.
Thank you all so much for your support! As I'm writing this, I'm finishing up The Crypt - it's the most ambitious level I've ever designed and I can't wait to share it with you all (a couple of months from now). And yes, it's going to be free.
In the meantime, consider checking out the book:
Much love to all, and as always, thank you for your support! More exciting announcements are coming soon!
