Illustrating the rapidly expanding world of independently produced video games, this book features conversation with the makers themselves about the possibilities open to developers freed of trend-specific shackles. These are the dream-weavers, the creators of entire universes ripe for exploration, or fantastical lands rich in secrets, and deeply intimate stories that can only be told through the fascinating medium of modern video games. Including contributions from legendary developers like Tim Schafer and David Braben, alongside newer studios like Dennaton Games and Simogo, this book goes behind the scenes of some of the most stirring experiences you"ll ever have with a controller in your hands.
