You Would Be A Goose To Miss Out On This Great Book
Have you ever wanted to know what goes into making a smash indie hit? Well, do I have the book for you? James O’Connor, Lizzie winner, game developer and Aussie games media legend has put together the true and fascinating tale of everyone’s favourite overly aggressive water bird, Untitled Goose Game.
James has put together this book thanks to interviews with all four lead developers as well as interviews with other folks who worked on the game to tell the story of how this viral hit went from concept to creation to worldwide success and every step in between. It is a fascinating look at what has become a key release in the Australian Games Industry’s history.
So how do you get this fantastic read for yourself? Untitled Goose Game is being published by Boss Fight Books. For those that don’t know, Boss Fight Books is a publisher that solely publishes books about games and has been doing so for quite some time now. Untitled Goose Game is a part of their latest wave of releases, which will feature 4 books in total (EverQuest, Untitled Goose Game and two as yet unannounced titles) and to help get the books out the door they are running a Kickstarter campaign.
As with any such fundraising campaign, there are a host of backer levels that include all of the books in various formats, right up to a tier that includes every book ever published by Boss Fight. The campaign has already been a success, having raised over $35000 AUD when their initial goal was a shade over $14000, so it is clear the publisher has some (well earned I might add) fans.
