Ian Mathers's review

Dec 31, 2019

really liked it

bookshelves: nonfiction, 2019

I'd wanted to read this for a long time, even though I am borderline incompetent at Spelunky the game; every tidbit I'd read about how it was made was fascinating. And I like the approach Yu has taken here; the way he works seems very informed by his personality and the way he approaches life in general, so of course those should be in the book as well. It's a very approachable, likable book, and although I'm not planning to make a game myself I feel like it's a pretty good shot of inspiration and maybe even some tips for someone who is.
