March bonus #3: Metroidvania Works book preview
🕑 Added 2024-03-18 14:21:51 +0000 UTCWell... I finished text and layouts on the Metroidvania Works book this weekend. "Metroidvania Works" ended up being a working title only; the book will be called The History Metroidvania: The First Decade. Probably.
Anyway! The book needs to be copy-edited and proofed and revised, so I won't be posting the full thing here until that happens. But I am happy to share the first 10% of the book for you to look through, including the table of contents so you can get a sense of all the new material I've added. This book is by far the most heavily expanded and rewritten of all my video-to-print publications—aside from the entries toward the end of the book, whose videos were produced after I had a clear sense of direction for this publication, everything here has been rewritten from top to bottom. And I've added a ton of additional sidebars and full entries over the video series to better enumerate the relationship between RPGs, adventure games, action-RPGs, and platformers... that is, the bits and pieces that go to make up a metroidvania.
For now, please enjoy this preview. And don't worry about any errors you encounter. That's the copy editor's job. Let them earn their pay!

I'm still kinda new here so apologies if this is a dumb question but - will we be able to buy this in hardcover print format?
