{"product_id":"20-essential-games-to-study-joshua-bycer-9781138341456","title":"20 Essential Games to Study","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of this book is to look over the past 35 years of games to discuss titles whose design deserves to be studied by anyone with an interest in game design. While there are plenty of books that focus on the technical side of Game Development, there are few that study the nature of game design itself. Featuring a mix of console and PC offerings, I purposely left off some of the easy choices (Mario, Starcraft, Call of Duty, Overwatch) to focus on games that stood out thanks to their designs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eAn informative breakdown focusing on the design and gameplay of successful games \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWritten to be useful for students or designers starting out in game development\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBooks focused specifically on design are rare\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePerfect for students and professionals alike, or can be read for the nostalgia and history \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joshua Bycer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138341452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138341456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.30d","brand":"Joshua Bycer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924193837311,"sku":"9781138341456","price":62.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_580cdd38-8ec3-48df-a6c4-71e6c4ba9780.jpg?v=1681069026","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/20-essential-games-to-study-joshua-bycer-9781138341456","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
