I do know I’m nearly a decade late to this celebration, however I’m in all probability not the one one, so right here goes.
Double Positive Journey was a wildly profitable 2012 Kickstarter challenge to crowdfund the event of a point-and-click journey recreation and, crucially, to doc its improvement on video. The ensuing recreation Damaged Age was finally launched in two elements in 2014 and 2015. Damaged Age is an exquisite recreation and I like to recommend you strive it. It’s obtainable for plenty of platforms and is fairly low-cost (10–15 euros/{dollars} or much less). I performed it on the Nintendo Swap, which labored very nicely.
However the actual gem to me was watching the 12.5-hour documentary on YouTube. A video manufacturing workforce adopted all the three-year improvement course of from begin to end. It offers a refreshingly candid and clear perception into “how the sausage is made”, together with delicate matters akin to monetary issues, layoffs, and lengthy work hours. All through all of the ups and downs there’s an exquisite sense of enjoyable and camaraderie among the many workforce at Double Positive, which made watching the documentary much more pleasant to me than enjoying Damaged Age. You possibly can inform these folks love working with one another. I extremely suggest having a look when you discover this mildly attention-grabbing.
The primary main recreation spoilers don’t come till episode 15, so you possibly can safely watch a lot of the documentary earlier than enjoying the sport (and that is how the unique Kickstarter backers skilled it). Nevertheless, I feel it’s much more attention-grabbing to play the sport first, or to expertise each side-by-side. My suggestion: watch two or three episodes of the documentary. Should you prefer it, begin enjoying Damaged Age alongside it.
