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 undertaking to crowdfund the event of a point-and-click journey sport and, crucially, to doc its growth on video. The ensuing sport Damaged Age was ultimately launched in two components in 2014 and 2015. Damaged Age is an exquisite sport and I like to recommend you attempt it. It’s out there 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 true gem to me was watching the 12.5-hour documentary on YouTube. A video manufacturing staff adopted the complete three-year growth course of from begin to end. It supplies a refreshingly candid and clear perception into “how the sausage is made”, together with delicate subjects resembling 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 staff at Double Positive, which made watching the documentary much more pleasurable to me than taking part in Damaged Age. You possibly can inform these folks love working with one another. I extremely advocate looking if you happen to discover this mildly fascinating.
The primary main sport spoilers don’t come till episode 15, so you may safely watch a lot of the documentary earlier than taking part in the sport (and that is how the unique Kickstarter backers skilled it). Nonetheless, I believe it’s much more fascinating to play the sport first, or to expertise each side-by-side. My suggestion: watch two or three episodes of the documentary. In the event you prefer it, begin taking part in Damaged Age alongside it.
