About the Book

A Step-by-Step Master Class in Indie Game Development, from the Creator of the Emmy(R) Winning Neverwinter Nights(TM)
Honors for Don Daglow's From Dream to Delivery books: Winner, 2019 Independent Press Book Awards Winner, Kirkus Top 100 Indie Books of 2019 Finalist, 2020 Top Shelf Book Awards Finalist, Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards Finalist, National Indie Excellence Awards Finalist, Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist, Book Excellence Awards

"Don Daglow has survived 40+ years creating games and always retained his positive attitude. Learn from the master." - Jeff Braun, co-founder of Maxis (Sim City, The Sims)

"I was impressed with the organizational wisdom. I wish that I had been able to read this book 30 years ago." -- Chris Crawford, pioneering game designer and Founder of the Game Developers Conference

"Indie Games: From Dream to Delivery should be on the desk of everyone who's considering an indie game company. It builds a bridge between books on game development and 'How to Start Your Own Business' books. Daglow starts with holistic questions that cover not only nuts and bolts issues of your games and your business, but the kind of life you want for you and your team. I wish I could go back in time and hand this book to the leaders of several start-ups I've watched crash and burn; it might have made them successful. I'll be recommending it to all of my students with indie dreams." -- Prof. Stephen Jacobs, School of Interactive Games and Media, Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT)

"5 OUT OF 5 STARS -- Indie Games: From Dream to Delivery is the best book to start with if you are considering developing your own game. Don L. Daglow brings you his years of experience in game design and development in a straightforward and comprehensive guide. He will show you a step by step method, proven techniques, and pitfalls to avoid... It makes no false promises... Daglow writes in a voice that is a cross between a patient sage under a Bodhi tree and a hardcore street philosopher strengthened by mixed realities... The insights and nuggets of truth you will acquire in Indie Games: From Dream to Delivery will temper your idealism with realism [and] stoke the fires of your passion." - Readers' Favorite; August, 2019
