Good Developer Diaries

dpaynter26

I'm Sure most of you are like me and love watching game dev diaries and bts videos, ive watched as many as i can get my hands on, i watched the halo 3 legendary bonus disc set so much that the dvd simply wont read any longer, i find them so inspiring, does anyone have any good recommendations on dev diaries? one you find inspiring?

There was a nice thread rolling along a while back for this:

Yeah there was that thread.

Something I've learned since then is that for the most part, those videos are mostly bs. I mean don't get me wrong, those videos are the reason I'm here, but when it comes down to how their ACTUALLY process went down, it's all a show.

Or at least that's what my teacher said. It's sort of like when a movie comes out and an actor is getting interviewed about it and he tells the "one day on set..." story. The actor has no memory of that happening. Chances are he filmed that movie a year or two ago and has filmed multiple movies since. So they come up with their story and they practice it for interviews. It's kind of scary to be honest.

yeah i know what you're saying, ive seen a few "dev only" bts videos, the ones that show the devs when they havent slept in 3 days and are running around like chickens with their heads cut off, i still like to watch the ones released to the general public as well lol

Thanks Talbot! im also gonna repost this just in case, this was posted on the mentioned thread
