About the Books

Weight and Timing: Game Animation, VFX, and Video Through a Directed Workflow

Weight and Timing: Game Animation, VFX, and Video Through a Directed Workflow

A good still image can hide motion that does not serve the game. I discuss choosing the representation the game needs, sketching beats, testing routes, and directing animation and effects through review. Examples from my own effects workflow show how references, timing, and repeated testing help clarify an action.

Sound by Testing: Original Game Music, Sound Effects, and Voice

Sound by Testing: Original Game Music, Sound Effects, and Voice

A sound can be good on its own and still be wrong for the game. I explain how I brief original music and effects, compare small samples, inspect loops and transitions, and listen to effects in context. I also discuss voice and keeping a tested audio workflow for the next asset.

Worth Paying For: Platform, Budget, and Fair Monetization for Indie Games

Worth Paying For: Platform, Budget, and Fair Monetization for Indie Games

A practical guide to platform choices, budgets, and fair monetization for independent game creators. Worth Paying For explores how a solo developer can plan commercial decisions for a game.
