The Making of Prince of Persia: Journals 1985-1993
Description:
A deep dive into the origins of the epic, best-selling video game, featuring previously unreleased content, in the game creator's own words\n"Mechner's journey is a universal one for anyone creating something brand new... I'm excited to revisit these journals in newly illustrated form."-- Mike Krieger, co-founder of Instagram\nThe creator of one of the most innovative and best-selling video games of all time gives an unvarnished look into the process in this one-of-a-kind compilation.\nBefore Prince of Persia was a best-selling video game franchise and a Disney movie, it was an Apple II computer game created and programmed by one person, Jordan Mechner. Mechner's candid and revealing journals from the time capture the journey from his parents’ basement to the forefront of the fast-growing 1980s video game industry... and the creative, technical, and personal struggles that brought the prince into being and ultimately into the homes of millions of people worldwide.\nNow, on the 30th anniversary of Prince of Persia’s release, Mechner looks back at the journals he kept from 1985 to 1993, offering new insights into the game that established him as a pioneer of cinematic storytelling in the industry. This beautifully illustrated and annotated collector’s edition includes:\n-- 300 pages of Jordan’s original journals
-- Present-day margin notations by Jordan adding explanation, context, and affectionate cartoons of real-life characters
-- Archival visuals illustrating the stages of the game’s creation
-- Work-in-progress sketches, rotoscoped animation, screen shots, interface design, memos, and more
-- A full-color 32-page "Legacy" section in which Jordan and fans share Prince of Persia memories from the past 30 years, including the Ubisoft games and Disney movie\nThe Making of Prince of Persia is both a tribute to a timeless classic, and an indelible look at the creative process that will resonate with retro-gaming fans, game developers, and writers, artists, and creators of all stripes.
