DARQ: Complete Edition changes
Happy Spooktober!
I'm excited to announce that my book "GAMEDEV" is now available as an AUDIOBOOK - it's narrated by Yong Yea, and he's amazing at it!
What is the book about?
This book assumes no knowledge of game development on the reader's / listener's part. It offers a sneak peek into my story and all the hardship and obstacles I had to overcome to make DARQ.
In this book, I also share practical advice on how to go from knowing nothing about game development to making video games for a living (if that's something you're interested in). The book covers mindset, preproduction, funding, business, law, development, marketing, PR, publishing, distribution, as well as pre-launch, launch, and post-launch strategies. I hope it helps some of you, even if you're not interested in game development.
The book features advice from the following industry professionals
Quentin De Beukelaer (Game Designer of Assassin's Creed Unity and Ghost Recon Breakpoint)
Mark Kern (former lead for World of Warcraft, producer of Diablo II and Starcraft)
Bjørn Jacobsen (Sound Designer of Cyberpunk 2077 and Divinity: Fallen Heroes)
Austin Wintory (Grammy-nominated composer of Journey)
Wojciech Piejko (Lead Designer of Observer and The Medium)
Barbara Kciuk (Narrative Designer of Blair Witch)
Rami Ismail (Developer of Nuclear Throne and Super Crate Box)
Dan Adelman (Biz Dev of Chasm and Axiom Verge)
Scott Millard (Publisher, Managing Director at Feardemic, Former Managing Director at Bandai Namco)
Stephen McArthur (Video Game Attorney)
Toms Martin (Video Game Investor)
What others had to say
Have a fun Spooktober!
To celebrate Lloyd's favorite month, DARQ is now 60% off. If you ever wanted to pick up the game or gift it to your friends, now is a good time.
Thank you all so much for your support! As I'm writing this, I'm finishing up The Crypt - it's the most ambitious level I've ever designed and I can't wait to share it with you all (a couple of months from now). And yes, it's going to be free.
In the meantime, consider checking out the book:
Much love to all, and as always, thank you for your support! More exciting announcements are coming soon! Wlad
