520    "You've got your dream job--making video games. You have a
       great project, great designs, and clever controls. One 
       morning, you get a call from your producer. Turns out that
       wall-jumping trick won't work because the artists don't 
       have time to design a separate animation just for the 
       plumber to move that way. Also, your lead designer keeps 
       micromanaging the programmers, which is driving them 
       crazy. Your E3 demo is due in two weeks, and you know 
       there's no way you can get it done in less than four. 
       You'll have to cut out some of the game's biggest features
       just to hit your deadlines. And suddenly the investor is 
       asking if maybe you can slash that $10 million budget down
       to $8 million, even if you have to fire a few people to 
       make it happen? Welcome to video game development. In his 
       years covering the industry, Jason Schreier has often 
       heard developers say that any game actually released is a 
       miracle. In Blood, Sweat, and Pixels, Schreier takes you 
       behind the scenes of some of the biggest recent games to 
       share never-before-told stories of the struggles and 
       failures the development teams faced along the way. His 
       reputation for great storytelling and fly-on-the-wall 
       detail will provide readers with the clearest picture yet 
       of what actually goes on behind the scenes. Each chapter 
       will cover a different game, from major studios with nine-
       figure budgets to indie games with half a dozen people on 
       their teams. The chapters will also focus on a variety of 
       subjects in the process, from building the basics to 
       adjusting for fan reaction post-launch. Blood, Sweat, and 
       Pixels will give readers an unparalleled inside look at 
       one of the biggest entertainment industries in the world"-
