The documentary is well worth watching.

    The typical game took 1k hours’ worth of work over 6 months. Warshaw had less than 36 hours to come up with a concept to present to Hollywood’s hottest director.

    Worse yet, he had just 5 weeks to finish the game — a task that one reporter called “the computer equivalent of simultaneously composing and playing a minute waltz in under 30 seconds.”

Jonathan Blow spent four years on Braid.

Team Ico started work on The Last Guardian in 2007 and released it at the end of 2016.
