With its unique focus on video game engines, the data-driven
architectures of game development and play, this innovative
textbook examines the impact of software on everyday life and
explores the rise of engine-driven culture. Through a series of
case studies, Eric Freedman lays out a clear methodology for
studying the game development pipeline, and uses the video game
engine as a pathway for media scholars and practitioners to
navigate the complex terrain of software practice. Examining
several distinct software ecosystems that include the proprietary
efforts of Amazon, Apple, Capcom, Epic Games and Unity
Technologies, and the unique ways that game engines are used in
non-game industries, Freedman illustrates why engines matter. The
studies bind together designers and players, speak to the labors of
the game industry, value the work of both global and regional
developers, and establish critical connection points between
software and society. Freedman has crafted a much-needed entry
point for students new to code, and a research resource for
scholars and teachers working in media industries, game development
and new media.
