Articles, Tutorials and Books :
Throughout the years I have written hundreds of pages of text, tutorials, reviews, articles, help files and lately even entire books.
I have the ability to explain complicated things to the point yet thoroughly.
| Book - The Hows and Whys
of the Games Industry |
   
|
Intended for amateurs who wish to ‘break into’ the games industry and who are looking for additional information. It’s also for those who are yet undecided on whether or not to pursue a career in the games industry.
Aims to provide the reader with a honest and objective discourse about the games industry, its pros and cons, and why one would, or would not, want to be active within this industry.
Interviews with over twenty industry professionals on how they got in, what they like, and what they dislike about the games industry.
Attempts to provide the reader with answers to some of the most common questions beginners have; such as how much one can expect to earn, the best way to apply to a studio, and what to expect during a job interview. The book will provide the reader with plenty of tips about what to look for when searching for a job.
Illustrated with exclusive concept art by Romano Molenaar .
