At HarperCollins Eric Meyers took North American rights at auction to a currently untitled book about video game development by Jason Schreier. The author is a news editor at Kotaku, a Gawker-owned website about gaming. The book was sold by Inkwell Management’s Charlie Olsen and is about, he said, “the often bumpy development cycles of high-profile games and the colorful personalities that shepherd them along the path from concept to release.” The book is set for fall 2017.

[HarryDemeanor]

Press sneak fuck about to become New York Times best selling author?

 

[Hagi]

Should be called "Lazy Devs?"

Really interested in the behind the scenes going ons when it comes to development so hopefully this turns out good.

 

[Blablurn]

Sounds pretty interesting. Cant wait to read it.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Can we make a petition so his pen name is Press Sneak Fuck?

 

[kyser73]

This'll be great, hopefully will give people a much better idea of the technical & management sides of development like project management, and how dev/publisher relations work

 

[Arkos]

Can we make a petition so his pen name is Press Sneak Fuck?

Please

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Well then, Hoho for breakfast is buying a video game book about dev cycles & people who make them. Can't wait to read it.

 

[Clockwork5]

Exactly who I would want to write this book.

 

[xenorevlis]

Haven't looked forward to a book like this in a year at least. The interview / discovery process for writing this must be amazing.

Was coming in to ask if there will be a chapter about "Lazy Devs"

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Should be called "Lazy Devs?"

Can we make a petition so his pen name is Press Sneak Fuck?

Yes to both of these.

 

[ryseing]

I cannot wait to see which games are featured in this.

Bring us the dirt Jason.

 

[Vire]

Sounds amazing, I hope he gets some more insight from Square Enix. Sounds like Tabata is borderline shortening his lifespan.

 

[CraigerGamer]

Will preorder depending on what's in the season pass.

 

[Fall Into The GAF]

I got it. How about "Press Sneak Fuck To Continue" as the title?

 

[georly]

I got it. How about "Press Sneak Fuck To Continue" as the title?

Yes.

Anyway, congrats Jason! I'll preorder for sure. My favorite writer at kotaku, keep it up.

 

[FullMetaltech]

I got it. How about "Press Sneak Fuck To Continue" as the title?

Yeah that's the one. Congrats Jason.

 

[D20CritMiss]

Can't wait for this. Hope its titled "Objectivity is Silly".

[III-V]

Thanks Jason for your integrity.

 

[Obliterator]

Awesome good luck Jason

 

[Chase17]

Sounds great! Will pick up a copy when it comes out.

 

[LiK]

Will it have pictures?

 

[superNESjoe]

Hot damn, can't wait!

 

[Aztechnology]

Oh man, do want. There's so many games especially recent large titles I want to understand the development of, along with decisions made that created very polarized communities.

Bring us the goods you sneaky press fuck.

 

[Taker34]

Where can I pre-order?

 

[joey_bone_bomb]

Should be called "Lazy Devs?"

That's a pretty brilliant title, actually! I'd go without the question mark, though.
Lazy Devs

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Gotta pay Hulk Hogan somehow...

Jokes aside, Good luck, Jason! I will definitely read this when it's ready.

 

[jschreier]

Thanks, guys. Pretty stoked about this. The list of games I'm going to cover isn't finalized yet, so if you have any requests, feel free to post them here. (Can't make any promises, of course - some stories will be difficult if not impossible to uncover.)

I'll probably be pretty quiet about this project for the rest of the year as I report/write, but expect to hear lots more in 2017!

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Sounds great, would be awesome if he could get some stories from Japanese devs, but I'll take anything.

 

[Atraveller]

I got it. How about "Press Sneak Fuck To Continue" as the title?

Yoooo

 

[Lord of Ostia]

Will definitely buy and read this when it comes out! Sounds like a great read

 

[King_Moc]

Sounds interesting, i'll probably check it out.

 

[dzelly]

That's great. Hopefully it does well. Would love to see it hit the charts and for tons of people to learn about game development.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]
