What if all the secrets housed in AREA 51 leaked out into the world? Who would be responsible for that mess? Who would be responsible for cleaning it up? After the President’s screw-up son, Harvey, gets in trouble with the law, his dad calls in a favor and gets him assigned to THE real life Area 51 AKA Hangar 51. But it’s not the thrill ride the conspiracy theorists would have you believe. Harvey spends most of his days cataloging items he’s forbidden from even looking at. That all changes when Harvey and his coworkers decide to throw a rager and wake up from their bender to find that EVERY SINGLE ITEM from Hangar 51 has been stolen. Now in the deepest trouble of his life, Harvey and his ragtag crew will have to go out into the world and put the genie back in the bottle, capturing rogue aliens, stolen formula for superpowers, experimental energy weapons and all manner of insane objects. All this while slowly unraveling the simmering conspiracy behind who actually broke into Hangar 51 and the nefarious plans they have for using the objects they stole. Writer Curt Pires and artist Jok take you on a trip like you’ve never been to explore a conspiracy theory you won’t ever believe!Shipping Notes

would have been better as a blog
Format: Paperback
First off, I have read over half of this book, but ultimately decided to put it down because it had a low signal-to-noise ratio. If the second half is filled with magic, I apologize in advance.
What I liked:
* The author is very honest. He does not shy away from discussing his failures (and successes).
* The postmortem on the game "Life of Pixel" was especially good.
* Interviews from various indie studios are sprinkled throughout.
What I did not like:
* A number of pieces of information were already out-of-date. This makes me think that the concepts should have been discussed at a higher level. For example, specifics about game engine costs are discussed. These numbers have changed since E3 of this year. Definitely recheck any information before formulating a plan based on the book's recommendations.
* The indie studio interviews are a wasted opportunity in that they each interview has the same set of questions. It's like a questionnaire was sent out via email and the responses were pasted into the book.
* When discussing commercial options, such as engines or other software packages, blurbs once again appear to be cut-and-pasted (this time verbatim from the package's web site).
* Some of the advice is too broad and too light. For example, when writing about how to create a press release, the author discuss how to write in the active voice. I'm frankly not looking for writing tips in my Indie Game Developer Handbook.
* The book is filled with tons of web links. My paperback copy was not so useful here.
I ultimately left the book with the impression that the information would have been much better in the form of a blog. The author could have really gone in depth with the parts of the book that shined while keeping the surveys of topics in a form that serves them better (i.e. web links on the web).

Helpful information and Questions to consider
Format: Paperback
As a writer of science fiction and fantasy I had already looked into the physical aspects of the worlds I was creating, but I quickly realized I needed to include society and culture in the worldbuilding. I started a search for information, questionairres, or guidelines to use and found very little that would be helpful to me as a writer. Until I came across this book. It's exactly what I needed. It touches on multiple aspects of beliefs and practices and asks questions to help you think through what you want for your worlds, even if it's mostly backgroud. A very useful tool.
