Here I am, rewatching this masterpiece after having binged the Psychonauts 2 documentary.

[@christopherlundgren1700]

Haha, same.

[@glitchedmac]

yuuup

[@Lyces]

Same

[@zazito34]

Guilty 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@TheDrewker]

His explanation of development with the colored dots falling to the ground was brilliant.

[@NickPiers]

Speaking as a backer, I've greatly enjoyed this series. For anyone who has never seen it, I highly recommend it. Especially to those who have had qualms against Double Fine for the way they've handled Broken Age. It showcases very well just how hard it is to make a game sometimes and that its road to completion can have many bumps along the way.

[@Metalizationer]

Well said. I'm very curious as to why so many people dislike the PsychoNauts 2 pitch...

[@AndresCiambotti]

16:46 The fact that Ron almost leaves Tim with one eye, two minutes before the campaign is over... Such a Threepwood moment! But life knows better, for much more years like this!

[@rick-deckard]

I hope everyone enjoys this documentary as much as the backers have! It is top quality, interesting, and well worth watching.

[@spookyanimator4695]

9 years later and devs like me still find this video and absolutely LOVE IT!

[@Lunarbs]

I feel like that hipster girl who wants to say "I loved Tim before he was cool!". Growing up on his games, he inspired me to go into games development. His ideas were far out there and he wasn't afraid to try something new. You deserve every cent you got Doublefine.

[@Jazzadrin]

Double Fine is one of the best developers of all time. Psychonauts, Costume Quest, Brutal Legend.. all gems.

[@Wolferey]

As a backer and fellow game developer, this documentary was an incredible insight into how Double Fine worked. So happy to see this documentary released into the wild so everyone can see the nitty-gritty of game development now :)

[@KylerRamos]

This is great, I always love this kind of stuff.

[@officialdinodoestuff]

+Kyler Ramos Me too, I love this.

[@Pr0GamingInk]

+Kyler Ramos If you love this, you'll really love 'Adventures in Game Development' with the creators of Elysian Shadows

[@brittallen2452]

Tim Schafer is a treasure. Always rooting for ya, Double Fine!

[@ClayMann]

Brilliant series, a very important body of work. I feel like all of the hate on social media that's been going around lately for Tim and his games is so unjustified, Those people should all be made to watch this series and get them to understand that awesome games don't just pop out. That developers don't hate everyone and deliberately make bad games because reasons. It's bloody hard work and you can see there are people that put everything they've got into trying to make a great game with years of work. But also I'd like to gloat and say, now you feel bad and you should feel bad.

[@mxbitter]

i really love this documentary series! most accounts of the game development process (whether they be actual game documentation or films like this) are usually disjointed or simply nonexistent, so something this well produced is incredibly valuable.

[@JoeAnnabi]

my favorite TV show / documentary series for the last few years has been exclusive to backers of one of the biggest Kickstarter campaigns ever made - but now the episodes are being posted to youtube for the first time and I can't encourage you enough to watch this series if you have any interest in the process behind the scenes of team dynamics and arts production. From the macro view to the intricacy of each artistry that combines together to become a video game. These are wonderful humans, the film makers are super talented, and it has a gorgeous soundtrack. It gives me the feels in a major way. I love these people.

[@Semikami]

This doc alone was worth backing the project!

[@aukondk]

As a backer I really enjoyed this series, the making of Broken Age. Now everyone gets to see it!

[@pcinvictus]

I would of stuck Ron Gilbert in a glass case with a tiny hammer that said "Break glass in case of adventure."

[@XavIsOnline]

They did, but he got out.

[@O1OO1O1]

***** Look at *glass cutter*. Look at *glass*. Use *glass cutter* with *glass.* Pick up *rubber chicken.* Use *rubber chicken* with *cable*. That scene will be included on a special edition of the documentary. ;)

[@itsaPIXELthing]

So glad to see point'n'click adventure games coming back ;)

[@xjusterx]

Watching it now after 2 years is still makes me happy, thx.

[@AdamHartGaming]

It's crazy how much goes into a game

[@twoshotted]

insanely underrated. my design-tech teacher was kind of fanboying about this series this year.

[@paulstaker8861]

Man this really gave me spirit.

[@officialdinodoestuff]

Rewatching this for a third time, every other time I've watched it Ive never made it to the end.

[@officialdinodoestuff]

Still never finished it, hoping to actually finish it this time.

[@Deadforge]

I love history and documentaries bignor small on film, ganes, shows etc. I love this.

[@progfoxmusic]

Time to go back to this

[@Metalizationer]

I've come back to this episode many times you guys are truly inspiring I hope a few future projects can further push crowdfunding and fine tune it as well. 🤘🏻🤓👍🏼

[@ladybugfreeman9607]

I can picture in like 20 years Tim will still be making Games and he will probably be the Peter Jackson of the Video Game Industry.

[@Renoistic]

Highly recommend this documentary! The game ended up being decent too (and very pretty).

[@st1ng486]

If Tim Schafer wrote a TV Show or Movie, I would watch the shit out of it.

[@jonathansoko1085]

Also..... Psychonauts 2 is finally here in a month or so. Its one of the few times il play on gamepass and still buy a copy

[@yellosmoothie]

Music is Lifeformed (they have a bandcamp page)

[@nidoqueen106]

12:30 when your game so popular it crashes KickStarter

[@FlippytheMasterofPie]

It's almost sad that there's only one episode left before this is done. I'll definitely be buying the Blu-Ray that I assume is coming out in addition to the digital copy that I got for backing. Oh, and the game is awesome as well.

[@YourHotJala]

When this old video showed up in my feed I thought, "/another/ adventure game kickstarter already?"

[@serialoverflow]

7:15 ... epic story by tim :D

[@touyuber-k8h]

Still come back to this. Tim Schafer is still my hero

[@NiZZULiVE]

Brilliant.

[@jeanpbounkousonh]

Amazing!

[@Kidzeegames]

fantastic

[@Deadforge]

My intro into point and click style games was TellTales The Walking Dead. I've played a few more here and there. Plus some point and click like games such as After Party.

[@jimmysgameclips]

I FREAKING LOVE MACHINARIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!

[@officialdinodoestuff]

Who made the music in the intros? They both are fantastic.

[@Metalizationer]

Totally agree

[@imnotadoctorbut]

+DinoDoesStuff I'm pretty sure it's from Dustforce OST

[@bertchang2916]

+DinoDoesStuff Look up Lifeformed.

[@jonathansoko1085]

The kinds of games they do arent really my "thing"... But we must protect this corner of the gaming world, its one of the few "pure" areas we still have. I love modern gaming, but i hate that with every game i get, comes a massive p2w cash shop or a massive skin shop.... I miss just playing a game i buy, without the constant MTX shoved down my face

[@Mobile-Game-Magic]

Good Job ;)

[@ensdmr05]

gayet başarılı hayranlıkla izlemedim.

[@ensdmr05]

katılıyorum kendime

[@ensdmr05]

aynen

[@ensdmr05]

süper ya bende çok beğeniyorummmmmm

[@ensdmr05]

inaılmazz

[@chemcukh]

Is that J.P LeBreton @14:00? Never saw him with long hair :)

[@UHYVE]

Aww, they were all so confident and hopeful. Man this series gets kinda depressing.

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

This is why even though I've had the chance to work in the games industry I've been reluctant to. I don't know if I could handle the responsibility or the crushing letdowns that come along with the fun and success.

[@cwm9]

...and then happy again! I mean, we are on the cusp of completion, after all...

[@robertgowdey]

What I find curious and I'm just trying to be a negative nancy but knowing at the time this was filmed, hindsight being 20/20, what caused you to document so much of this process knowing it could be a total flop? Sure after success I could see you recreate what was going on at the time but who's idea was it to document so much of the process before success?

[@DoubleFineProd]

***** The documentary was a joint project between 2 Player and Double Fine with the express purpose of capturing the full arc of game development, no matter what happened. It was a central theme of the Kickstarter pitch from the start.

[@PanayiotisCharalambous]

The process of learning and achieving something involves both success and failures! If you only document and show something that will be a guaranteed success you don't learn anything! + it's not just the goal, it is the journey to that goal! The journey is the important thing here...

[@O1OO1O1]

***** That was the promise of Double Fine Adventure--they'd make a game, and document the process for all to see, regardless of what the result was. The people who backed the project were people who wanted to see "how the sausage is made," or who love adventure games, so this was a pretty cool opportunity that the backers basically made happen.

[@robertgowdey]

Panayiotis Charalambous I appreciate that. It's the internet and I'm just a skeptic but I honestly loved the video and kudos to everyone involved.

[@Relytia]

***** I don't get the flop comment. Broken Age is a great game. That's a success in my book. Edit: Whoops, disregard my dumb comment. I misread "could" as "would." lol. Sorry.

[@ThomasGiles]

Are there any new bits to these episodes, or are they exactly the same? I'm a backer and just wondering if I should worry about re-watching these..?

[@DoubleFineProd]

Thomas Giles not really anything too noticeable. You could safely wait for the final finishing pass that will be released alongside the blu-ray.

[@ThomasGiles]

DoubleFineProd Okay, cool. Thanks. ;P

[@chickenbone445]

DoubleFineProd will you provide a spoilery version of the documentary where you have everything unblurred for those who have finished the game? Think that would be pretty cool!

[@flyingferron]

I'm curious, could anyone tell me what the "ending credits" music is? Starts at 19:42

[@flyingferron]

Or is it just some original song they came up with just for the documentary?

[@SaveRoom]

Red Eyes:)

[@DarkHalmut]

What is the name of the intro music?

[@FinnjaWarrior]

DarkHalmut Terence Lee - Warm Cobblestone (Run, Don't Walk variation) from Immerse (Double Fine Adventure OST) lifeformed.bandcamp.com/track/warm-cobblestone-run-dont-walk-variation Or it could be Darude - Sandstorm

[@DarkHalmut]

Thanks! Love it.

[@allaze-eroler]

we all need some close caption for your documentary :o

[@DerTypDerVideosGuckt]

The time stamps (Episode Notes) aren't correct D:

[@DoubleFineProd]

DerTypDerVideosGuckt oh crap, that's our fault! Didn't compensate for the time added by the pre-roll, thanks for pointing that out.

[@Benjoow]

Do you know if the french subtitle is available ? thank you :-)

[@Benjoow]

+OncleBenTV And, of course, where ? :-p

[@stocchinet]

This button only works with grabbin' gary, i wonder where he is now, and what is grabbin'....

[@Simon74]

How many Episodes are there?

[@GepardenK]

I think they are up to 18 now. Episodes are still being produced and will probably end up with around 20ish

[@Simon74]

GepardenK thank you

[@JeremyGChilds]

Anyone else here from Triple Click?

[@TheAmishGamer]

It's actually pronounced "Schar-fer".

[@Perun42]

"They cant do that anymore!" oh no they can, hello microsoft

[@rotub]

Lucky he didn't lose his teeth! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIfamGBvjLFmmqcsi=fbUGdqdokyoH5GlF&t=1009

[@edscissor-e9w]

I don't know how this ends yet but I can't believe that people funded a project without a single idea in place. I could not work in that environment. It's childish. I didn't rate Monkey Island or Grim Fandango so my expectations aren't high for this one. My favourite game: Myth the Fallen Lords. That's my starting point.
