Lean Game Development: Apply Lean Frameworks to the Process of Game Development
Autor Julia Naomi Rosenfield Boeiraen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 dec 2023
You'll see how to define a minimum viable product (MVP) for games with Lean Canvas, allowing customers to iterate over it and collect feedback for improvement at every cycle. All of these are achieved while still using standard Agile techniques. The first part of the book explains the ideation process of a game and how lean methodologies allow developers, especially small studios, to avoid scope creep. Next, it it provides guidance on creating MVPs and using player feedback to iterate and improve games. The book then discusses continual improvement (CI) methods. A crucial part of CI is generation of Lean Canvas.
LeanGame Development, Second Edition shows you how to iterate until you develop a game that satisfies developers, gamers, and your studio's financial goals.
What You'll Learn
- Study lean and agile methodologies to enhance the game development process
- Find out how to improve the way game productions define value and iterate over it
- Apply development strategies to enrich the game development process
People from all sectors of the gaming industry will find the book useful in planning their project in a more iterative way, unloading the management burden on the development process and collecting feedback to improve the game content as early as possible.
