It’s good to see transparency in how games are made, and how the people who make them go through the process. You’d be hard-pressed to find as interesting a subject as Double Fine, too.
The development ofPsychonauts 2took a while, and alot happenedforDouble Fineover the course of it. Getting a look into how those events panned out, as well as how the team tackled making a sequel to the originalPsychonauts, certainly sounds like it would be an interesting watch.
Most of theDouble Fine PsychOdysseyepisodes are pretty long, so settle in for a watch. But hey, with the weekend ahead, it seems like a great time to settle in and watch a game get made. Find all of the episodes in theplaylist here.
