D_Smart posted:As I posted on Twitter, I finished that since Dec. Sent it off to a third-party for final review, cleanup and such. I may still self-publish it on Amazon, though I have some interesting offers. Really, how can you finalize such a thing until the entire story is over and done with? I'd totally be down with buying a book about this deal, but not until after it included the downfall. The downfall is the third act. You can't have a full story without that. I'd also love if it included insider input. I've stated before that I'd buy a book written from Lando's experiences. Your best bet would be for after everything implodes, and getting some insider like Lando to offer his input as well. He's not the only insider I'd appreciate, there are several, I only mention him because he's the most public, and seems to have had tons of job hopping in the past, is down for any paying job, and won't necessarily care about being locked out of the videogame industry. Seriously, a book about this by Derek, with co-credits to someone like Lando, or other deep insiders, would be a must buy. Ben would be a great get as well, but I suspect he's drank too much Flavor-Aid.

Derek Smart is like Stephen King- I like what he writes, but there's usually a few hundred extra pages that could be safely excised without hurting the core of the story being told.

I'm expecting the equivalent to a fully annotated "War and Peace". As I think about it, you are completely on point with your comparison of Derek Smart to Stephen King, as far as unnecessary fluff and pointless tangential plotlines goes. A lot of King's stuff is garbage, but portions are great. There's a lot of completely forgettable stuff, some enjoyable yet superfluous content, weird poo poo like the all the kids having sex in "IT", and some great gems. When some of that great stuff is passed through someone else, you end up with a classic work, like with "The Shining". Derek needs a good editor.

Exactly. Which is why I sent it off to a third-party for review, edits etc. Then it goes to the attorneys.

quote:CIG was growing nicely from something people would use their garage for to a fully fleged 350+ employee-company. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That did not happen. CIG did not "grow" into a fully fledged company - the company has never made a single product, was given millions of dollars up front for nothing more than an ill-defined promise, and proceeded to spend it on the trappings of success before they even made the first design document. They did not "grow" because they haven't done anything yet to earn the status of "350+ employees around the world." They just used their free cash to jump straight into it, earning themselves a massive cost overhead in exchange for learning how to make a game since none of them have any idea how it's done. The company is burning money as fast as it's being donated. They have no plans for residual income once the game is released. If it's released. CIG is not a game development company - they're a pay-per-view reality show. When the people stop paying to watch, it will go off the air.
