Behind
Game Development Essentials: An Introduction:
This book was written to meet a need expressed by game industry professionals and educators alike — to provide students and professionals with a thorough background in all aspects of the game industry and the game development process. In response to the rapid growth of the game development industry, hundreds of colleges and universities in the United States alone have launched accredited game development programs in the past few years. Textbooks providing support for these programs are in great demand. In addition, many professionals from related industries—including film, television, theater, and music—are interested in migrating to the game industry. My book will give these professionals the knowledge necessary to make this transition. In summary, I wrote this book to satisfy the need for a comprehensive introductory text on game development for both the educational and professional markets. - Jeannie Novak
