商品描述

This book offers a perspective into a phenomenon becoming more and more common: AAA developers ‘going indie’. Written through the personal story of the author finding his way into the AAA games space, only to retreat back to indie games and consulting work and finding a new-old life making games for himself, and finding fulfillment in doing so. It is both a word of warning to creatives seeking a corporation and a call for disillusioned developers to break free and do something wild, creative, and unexpected. It is critical of common industry issues such as structural crunch, health issues, work life balance, and more, but is also a personal story of mismatched needs in doing creative work.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書提供了一個對於越來越普遍現象的觀點:AAA 開發者「獨立創作」。書中透過作者的個人故事,描述他如何進入 AAA 遊戲領域,卻又退回到獨立遊戲和顧問工作,並重新找到為自己製作遊戲的生活,並在這過程中獲得滿足感。這既是對尋求進入企業的創意工作者的警示,也是對失望的開發者的呼籲,鼓勵他們打破束縛,去做一些大膽、創意且意想不到的事情。書中批評了行業中常見的問題,如結構性加班、健康問題、工作與生活的平衡等,但同時也是一個關於在創意工作中需求不匹配的個人故事。
