Marketing is a very popular topic among game developers. You can find these “wizards” in Facebook or Reddit. They are promising you incredible sales, lots of traffic and other wonders. However, the author of “A Practical Guide to Indie Game Marketing” Joel Dreskin is different. He’s an experienced marketing officer, who worked with Telltale Games, Lucas Arts and Adobe. Joel is an avid writer and speaker, so I bet you’ve heard him talk during PAX or GDC.

His book A Practical Guide to Indie Game Marketing is a great addition to any game developer’s library. It’s a simple manual on how to achieve great results with a very limited budget. There are a lot of great examples there, as well as planning tips.

It’s not cheap ($37) but it’s well worth the money. You can check out some of Joel’s posts on Gamasutra. For free!
