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.

Key Features Under-explored viewpoint of the games industry, someone who worked for years to 'break in', then worked for years to 'break out'.
