You need to watch Double Fantastic Journey – Ole Begemann


I do know I’m virtually a decade late to this get together, however I’m most likely not the one one, so right here goes.

Double Fantastic Journey was a wildly profitable 2012 Kickstarter challenge to crowdfund the event of a point-and-click journey recreation and, crucially, to doc its improvement on video. The ensuing recreation Damaged Age was ultimately launched in two components in 2014 and 2015. Damaged Age is a good looking recreation and I like to recommend you attempt it. It’s accessible for plenty of platforms and is fairly low cost (10–15 euros/{dollars} or much less). I performed it on the Nintendo Change, which labored very effectively.

However the true gem to me was watching the 12.5-hour documentary on YouTube. A video manufacturing crew adopted your entire three-year improvement course of from begin to end. It gives a refreshingly candid and clear perception into “how the sausage is made”, together with delicate matters resembling monetary issues, layoffs, and lengthy work hours. All through all of the ups and downs there’s a beautiful sense of enjoyable and camaraderie among the many crew at Double Fantastic, which made watching the documentary much more pleasing to me than taking part in Damaged Age. You may inform these individuals love working with one another. I extremely suggest having a look for those who discover this mildly attention-grabbing.

The primary main recreation spoilers don’t come till episode 15, so you may safely watch many of the documentary earlier than taking part in the sport (and that is how the unique Kickstarter backers skilled it). Nevertheless, I feel it’s much more attention-grabbing to play the sport first, or to expertise each side-by-side. My suggestion: watch two or three episodes of the documentary. When you prefer it, begin taking part in Damaged Age alongside it.
