Behind the Scenes of Game Development
MTV did a special on the development process of the upcoming game Gears of War for Xbox360. You can watch the episodes at mtvOVERDRIVE in which the Epic team prepares for E3. Seeing them hitting crunch-mode, playing all sorts of games including table football (which we play at least once a day at our own office) and Tim Sweeney telling, passionate about spending 13 or 14 hours a day on average, programming or thinking about programming, makes my heart beat faster. This reminds me of Triumph of The Nerds (1996). Than Cliff Bleszinski (or CliffyB) runs into Bill Gates…
Bill: How does it look for shipping this fall?
Cliff: We’ll make it happen…
Bill: Fantastic, we’re counting on you!
Priceless!
