The book "Up, Down, Up" has gone to layout: stories of successes and failures in game development

Representatives of the Bombora publishing house reported that the book "Up, Down, Up" ("UP DOWN UP: Why Some Game Companies Succeed, While Others Fail"), which serves as a kind of game development cheat sheet, has already gone to layout.

The book's author and industry veteran Kim Nordstrom spent two years gathering insider accounts from a hundred executives of major studios, and also spoke with people shaping the modern world of gaming.

Thanks to this publication, readers will learn the true stories of high-profile triumphs and painful failures firsthand. The creators of Zynga, The Sims, Rovio, and Grinding Gear Games shared their experience.

This book will surely interest those who want to look behind the scenes of the gaming business and understand how companies weather storms and crises. Pre-orders for "Up, Down, Up" will open soon.
