Who Hunts the Whale: A satirical novel set in the exploitative world of big-budget game development

English

By (author): Jane Aerith Magnet Laura Kate Dale

Supremacy Software is the worlds largest video-game developer and publisher. If youve played games, youve played one of theirs at some point. Theyre the shining light, a dream job for many aspiring game developers.

Who Hunts the Whale tells the story of a newly hired PA taking a seat in the executive boardroom. An out-of-towner who risked it all to come to the big city and live her dream of working for a company shes idolised for years.

But she soon discovers the cynical side of things. Stolen ideas, long hours, managerial impropriety will she risk her ideal career and take a stand for those who dare not speak, or keep quiet in the face of a powerful, litigious corporation?

Written by industry insider Laura Kate Dale and (small g) gamer Jane Aerith Magnet, Who Hunts the Whale takes a witty, satirical look at the human cost of a rapacious market that must constantly be fed new content.
