Hi everyone,<\/p>\n

I\u2019m pleased to say that I will be releasing Adventures in Games Analysis: Volume I<\/em> in the coming months. Those of you who have been following my work for some time will remember \u2018Adventures\u2019 as the bookazine project I started back in 2013. Initially, this compilation of long-form articles was going to be published in 2014 before it was put on ice and subsequently overhauled. I completed the final manuscript in early 2019 and got things rolling again on the publishing side earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u2018Adventures\u2019 includes some of my best games writing and I can\u2019t wait to finally release it into the wild. For now, though, I wanted to share two things with you all. The first is simply the book\u2019s blurb\u2014a teaser, if you will. The second is a series of artwork that was created for the original zine back in 2013 but not used in the final title. Among the pieces is the awesome glitch art cover which is a Daniel Purvis creation. Please enjoy.<\/p>\n

Adventures in Games Analysis: Volume I is a compilation of written articles diving deep into the complex and interconnected art form that is video games. By spotlighting specific examples of game design, author Daniel Johnson (Speed Boost: The Hidden Secrets Behind Arcade Racing Design and Game Design Companion: A Critical Analysis of Wario Land 4) deconstructs the creative challenges behind some of gaming\u2019s most popular franchises.<\/p>\n

This first volume explores topics such as designing a 3D action game with NES style controls in Metroid: Other M, sequencing and layering gameplay challenges in Uncharted 2\u2019s famous \u2018train level,\u2019 and balancing slow-motion FPS Steel Diver: Sub Wars around Nintendo\u2019s limited online infrastructure. The insightful analysis enables readers to better appreciate the individual titles as well as the artistic qualities that video games have to offer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
