High Quality The Dream Architects : Adventures In The Video Game Industry By David Polfeldt (US Edition, Paperback)

At Massive Entertainment, a Ubisoft studio, a key division of one of the largest, most influential companies in gaming, Managing Director Polfeldt has had a hand in some of the biggest video game franchises of today, from Assassin's Creed to Far Cry to Tom Clancy's The Division, the fastestselling new series this generation which revitalized the Clancy brand in gaming. In THE DREAM AHITECTS, Polfeldt charts his course through a charmed, idiosyncratic career which began at the dawn of the PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox erafrom successfully pitching an Avatar game to James Cameron that will digitally create all of Pandora to enduring a weeklong survivalist camp in the Scandinavian forest to better understand the postapocalyptic future of The Division. Along the way, Polfeldt ruminates on how the video game industry has grown and changed, how and when games became art, and the medium's expanding artistic and storytelling potential. He shares what it's like to manage a creative process that has ballooned from a lowsixfigure expense with a team of a half dozen people to a transatlantic production of five hundred employees on a single project with a production budget of over a hundred million dollars. A rare firsthand account of the golden age of game development told in vivid detail, THE DREAM AHITECTS is a seminal work about the biggest entertainment medium of today.Ships from and sold by EXPERAL SINGAPOREPublisher: Little, Brown & CompaISBN 13: 9781538754184Condition: Brandnew Binding: paperbackPages: 320Dimensons: 226 x 150 x 24 | 380 (gram)
