Hello Forum , It is my first post here... I'd like to get any info or suggestions of a book about the business side of the game development. I'm interested on learning more about the subjects that includes budgets $, software platform, publishing, marketing, outsource or not and emerging markets. Maybe some topics already posted here, i just need to browse thru... Thanks, jackULL

DavidRM wrote a book ... I think his real name is David Michael or something.. the Indie's guide to business or something along those lines. If you search on google I am sure you can find it.

That's The Indie Game Development Survival Guide by David Michael. I own a copy myself, and I very highly recommend it. If you're interested in indie development, then I'd say it's practically compulsory to own a copy.

thanks trapperzoid... i'll check it out. sounds like a good read
