Item Description

This book is aimed at indie game developers who have already begun to make games, and gathers knowledge on the four themes of "complete the game", "get to know the game", "distribute the game", and "continue game development". It is a book that I did.

Individuals and small teams that make games for PCs / smartphones / home video game consoles, such as the requirements for "completion" of games, distribution of press releases, exhibitions, contracts with publishers, etc., make a profit. We are summarizing the know-how to gain and maintain activities.
