Overview

Awesome Game Production is a curated, open-source directory of resources focused on the game production process. It collects books, articles, tools, project management materials, and methodologies to support people working in the game producer role.

The list centers on video game production as a process (from solo developers to teams) and specifically targets the responsibilities of game producers who manage and orchestrate development. It intentionally does not cover individual specialist disciplines such as game design, programming, or QA, and instead complements those via the broader "Awesome" ecosystem.
