xels, Jason Schreier takes readers on a fascinating odyssey behind the scenes of video game development, where the creator may be a team of 600 overworked underdogs or a solitary geek genius. Exploring the artistic challenges, technical impossibilities, marketplace demands, and Donkey Kong-sized monkey wrenches thrown into the works by corporate, Blood, Sweat, and Pixels reveals how bringing any game to completion is more than Sisyphean—it's nothing short of miraculous.
Taking some of the most popular, bestselling recent games, Schreier immerses readers in the hellfire of the development process, whether it's RPG studio Bioware's challenge to beat an impossible schedule and overcome countless technical nightmares to build Dragon Age: Inquisition; indie developer Eric Barone's single-handed efforts to grow country-life RPG Stardew Valley from one man's vision into a multi-million-dollar franchise; or Bungie spinning out from their corporate overlords at Microsoft to create Destiny, a brand new universe that they hoped would become as iconic as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings—even as it nearly ripped their studio apart.
Documenting the round-the-clock crunches, buggy-eyed burnout, and last-minute saves, Blood, Sweat, and Pixels is a journey through development hell—and ultimately a tribute to the dedicated diehards and unsung heroes who scale mountains of obstacles in their quests to create the best games imaginable.
You’ll probably notice that most of the people who speak in this book are male, which is a depressing (and unintentional) reflection of an industry that has, for decades now, been dominated by men.
The most important question in video game development has nothing to do with making video games. It’s a simple question that has stymied artists for centuries and put an end to countless creative endeavors: How are we gonna pay for this thing? (查看原文)
读完后感觉任何游戏无论最后取得商业/口碑成功与否，“血汗工厂”依然是众多游戏开发商（或者个人开发者）的阴暗面，比如在讲述书中游戏开发过程时几乎绕不开的crunch一词，还有为了应对开发进展达不到目标的窘境时不得不实施的延期发售。最爱Pillars of Eternity（黑曜石起死回生的转折点以及玩家群体力量的展示场）和Stardew Valley（实力展现了什么叫one-man army）两章。
非常易读的一本书，十个游戏开发的故事，篇幅不长不短，每个都有不同的主题。 1. Pillars of Eternity：众筹这种新的（当时）funding模式如何帮助游戏公司度过难关并且以不同寻常的方式开发出一部优秀的游戏； 2. Uncharted 4：默契、crunching，living up to one’s legend； ...

很难说是秘辛，但是真的浇灭了自己做游戏的一部分热情。

每个爆款游戏都是游戏制作者挥洒多年血与泪和多方博弈的结果，本书采写了2010 中叶的几款非常受欢迎的游戏制作者（团队）的幕后故事，总结故事的共同点：豪无规律的工作计划和无休止的加班是游戏程序员的常态，如果是独立游戏制作的个人或者是独立工作室，找不到投资人，还有堵上全部家当，随时破产的可能，所以一个出色的游戏制作人必定对这个行业拥有十二分的热爱和对游戏精益求精的执着。

是我喜爱的“工作励志”类读物，一本小书，基本上是有些大同小异的开发血泪史。让人印象最深刻的是星露谷（最适合改编电影的单人开发历程）和龙腾世纪审判（是几个故事中对游戏开发细节相对最深入的，因为聚焦在DICE的引擎和开发工具上）。但因为是小书所以涉及的深度有限，至少没有DOOM启示录那种细节程度，很期待会有续集

一本看完之后没啥take away的书。做游戏的苦都是相似的，不如写点奇闻逸事。
