I do know I’m virtually a decade late to this celebration, however I’m most likely not the one one, so right here goes.
Double Advantageous Journey was a wildly profitable 2012 Kickstarter undertaking 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 ultimately launched in two elements in 2014 and 2015. Damaged Age is a lovely recreation and I like to recommend you attempt 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 Change, which labored very properly.
However the true gem to me was watching the 12.5-hour documentary on YouTube. A video manufacturing workforce adopted the whole three-year improvement course of from begin to end. It gives a refreshingly candid and clear perception into “how the sausage is made”, together with delicate matters similar 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 Advantageous, which made watching the documentary much more satisfying to me than enjoying Damaged Age. You possibly can inform these individuals 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’ll be able to safely watch a lot of the documentary earlier than enjoying the sport (and that is how the unique Kickstarter backers skilled it). Nonetheless, I believe 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. In case you prefer it, begin enjoying Damaged Age alongside it.
