Good Vibes Only - A Producer’s Guide to Successful Collaborations in Game Dev
The era of solo developers is over - these days even the most self-sufficient of us will inevitably end up relying on the support of others to release their game, whether that be platform holders, co-development teams, or a publisher or agency. Opening up your private creative process to others can be tricky, though, especially when you’re putting everything on the line.
