GTW Highlight No.02: Last December, we released Team SAS prototype for the original #Xbox. 1st person arcade shooter with 4 different characters and several levels to check out. Due for release in 2003, it didn't make it after issues with the PS2 edition.

Thanks for picking up a copy. Croteam kindly gave me permission to use the green guy from Serious Sam 4.

@maine_stuart Reading your latest and really enjoying. The Green Lizard chap on the cover is giving me Unreal vibes. Coincidence?

@WhiteOwlBooks Finally, part 7 covers easily the most difficult part of making a game - actually finishing it! We look at playtesting and bug fixing, marketing, and 'when is your game ready to launch?' Then working with publishers or going it alone, and what to do after you launch the game.

English

@WhiteOwlBooks We're getting to the end of the book now! Part 6 covers dealing with development problems that pop up again and again, like understanding opportunity cost (as in asking 'why is this thing in my game?'), and dealing with edge cases that threaten to send you back to the start.

English

@WhiteOwlBooks recently released my pen-and-sword.co.uk/Designing-Vide… book, which captures 28 years of mistakes made and lessons learned to help anyone just starting their career in development. Here's a thread of the book's chapters and the often painfully learned #gamedev advice in each.

English

Thanks for "the author's style, approach and enthusiasm shine through, making every entry a true joy to read"! I did enjoy writing this, so I'm glad that came through.
