The Game Developer’s Survival Guide – Richard Lemarchand
Create healthier, more productive game development with this essential guide from a legendary designer. Richard Lemarchand, the lead designer behind the acclaimed Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and the Uncharted trilogy, shares over two decades of industry wisdom.
This book walks you through every stage of a digital game project – from concept and design to build, test, and release – while teaching you how to avoid the burnout known as “crunch.” You’ll learn key techniques like vertical slices, concentric development, and the Mark Cerny Method, plus how to create a macro-design chart. Discover what goes into alpha and beta versions, their milestones and artifacts, and how to run effective playtests. Most importantly, find strategies to combat exhaustion and keep your inspiration alive.
Whether you’re a student, a newcomer, or a seasoned game designer, Lemarchand’s approach is practical and proven. As noted by game-dev blogger and level designer Vasily Skobelev, this book “reveals the secret of flawless production used by studios like Naughty Dog and Insomniac” and is a must-read for anyone wanting to align their development process with what works at major players like Microsoft and Sony.
