Andrew Rollings and Ernest Adams on Game Design

Acknowledgments

It would be a rare developer indeed who had worked on every genre and style of game addressed in this book, and certainly neither of us can make that claim. When it came time to speak of subjects of which we had little direct experience, we relied heavily on the advice, wisdom, and support of our professional colleagues, for which we are immensely grateful. Five people in particular have given us permission to quote extensively from their writing, which has enriched the book enormously. We owe a special debt of gratitude to:
