At HarperCollins Eric Meyers took North American rights at auction to a currently untitled book about video game development by Jason Schreier. The author is a news editor at Kotaku, a Gawker-owned website about gaming. The book was sold by Inkwell Management’s Charlie Olsen and is about, he said, “the often bumpy development cycles of high-profile games and the colorful personalities that shepherd them along the path from concept to release.” The book is set for fall 2017.

Just saw this on Twitter. Can't wait!

Garrett Hawke · Apr 9, 2016

I'm sure this'll be a fantastic read, looking forward to it!

shinobi602 · Apr 9, 2016

Hell yes. Reading this baby.

vareon · Apr 9, 2016

Sounds good! Good luck, Schreier.

wamberz1 · Apr 9, 2016

That sounds awesome. Hope it comes to audiobook form but I'll read it no matter what.

Schreier is good folk. Looking forward to it!

Press sneak fuck about to become New York Times best selling author?

Hagi · Apr 9, 2016

Should be called "Lazy Devs?"

Really interested in the behind the scenes going ons when it comes to development so hopefully this turns out good.

Blablurn · Apr 9, 2016

Sounds pretty interesting. Cant wait to read it.

Admiral Woofington · Apr 9, 2016

Can we make a petition so his pen name is Press Sneak Fuck?

kyser73 · Apr 9, 2016

This'll be great, hopefully will give people a much better idea of the technical & management sides of development like project management, and how dev/publisher relations work

Please

Hoho for breakfast · Apr 9, 2016

Well then, Hoho for breakfast is buying a video game book about dev cycles & people who make them. Can't wait to read it.

Clockwork5 · Apr 9, 2016

Exactly who I would want to write this book.

xenorevlis · Apr 9, 2016

Haven't looked forward to a book like this in a year at least. The interview / discovery process for writing this must be amazing.

Yes to both of these.

ryseing · Apr 9, 2016

I cannot wait to see which games are featured in this.

Bring us the dirt Jason.

Vire · Apr 9, 2016

Sounds amazing, I hope he gets some more insight from Square Enix. Sounds like Tabata is borderline shortening his lifespan.

CraigerGamer · Apr 9, 2016

Will preorder depending on what's in the season pass.

Fall Into The GAF · Apr 9, 2016

I got it. How about "Press Sneak Fuck To Continue" as the title?

Yes.

Anyway, congrats Jason! I'll preorder for sure. My favorite writer at kotaku, keep it up.

Yeah that's the one. Congrats Jason.

D20CritMiss · Apr 9, 2016

Can't wait for this. Hope its titled "Objectivity is Silly".

.la1n · Apr 9, 2016

Wish him the best of luck, will definetly pick up a copy.

III-V · Apr 9, 2016

Thanks Jason for your integrity.

Obliterator · Apr 9, 2016

Awesome good luck Jason

Chase17 · Apr 9, 2016

Sounds great! Will pick up a copy when it comes out.

LiK · Apr 9, 2016

Will it have pictures?

superNESjoe · Apr 9, 2016

Hot damn, can't wait!

Aztechnology · Apr 9, 2016

Oh man, do want. There's so many games especially recent large titles I want to understand the development of, along with decisions made that created very polarized communities.

Bring us the goods you sneaky press fuck.

Taker34 · Apr 9, 2016

Where can I pre-order?

That's a pretty brilliant title, actually! I'd go without the question mark, though.
Lazy Devs

TheBaldEmperor · Apr 9, 2016

Can't wait to read this.

ZehDon · Apr 9, 2016

Sounds like it would be a terrific read. His Destiny article was one of the best I've read in quite some time.

Shang · Apr 9, 2016

Very excited about this book. Can't wait til it comes out.

RoKKeR · Apr 9, 2016

Just the person for the job. Something I would love to read.

dragonbane · Apr 9, 2016

Schreier getting all famous

Huge congrats sir!

Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew · Apr 9, 2016

Gotta pay Hulk Hogan somehow...

Jokes aside, Good luck, Jason! I will definitely read this when it's ready.

jschreier · Apr 9, 2016

Thanks, guys. Pretty stoked about this. The list of games I'm going to cover isn't finalized yet, so if you have any requests, feel free to post them here. (Can't make any promises, of course - some stories will be difficult if not impossible to uncover.)

I'll probably be pretty quiet about this project for the rest of the year as I report/write, but expect to hear lots more in 2017!

EnlightenedMint · Apr 9, 2016

Sounds great, would be awesome if he could get some stories from Japanese devs, but I'll take anything.

Yoooo

Lord of Ostia · Apr 9, 2016

Will definitely buy and read this when it comes out! Sounds like a great read

King_Moc · Apr 9, 2016

Sounds interesting, i'll probably check it out.

dzelly · Apr 9, 2016

That's great. Hopefully it does well. Would love to see it hit the charts and for tons of people to learn about game development.

Same, it was pretty fascinating to read, and I hope to hear more stuff along the way. Either way, I'm interested in this.
