Blood, Sweat, and Pixels

The book tells the story about ten different video games and the hurdles they managed to (or not to) overcome during development, all the way to release. I especially liked the stories of Stardew Valley and Star Wars 1313.

It seems like every game's success story boils down to excessive crunch time, which is a bit sad. The stories are interesting (even if you're not familiar with the game being talked about), but man I do not want to work in the video game industry.
