A Good Place to Start
I’m returning to school in the spring to become a Game Artist and I’ve been trying to find a game testing gig to get my foot in the door while I complete my studies. This book seemed like a no-brainer. The information in there is solid and delivered in a way that’s very easy to understand. That being said, most of the information can also be found on his website and podcast for free. If you’re looking to save some time researching the topic, this is a good place to start since it’s all in one place at an affordable price.
