GDC 2105 talks: Adventure & Yars Revenge

[walaber]

I tried searching around to see if these were already posted, but didn't find anything, so please excuse me if everyone has already seen these.... but 2 "classic game post mortem" talks were given at this year's Game Developers Conference, with the creators of Adventure and Yars Revenge giving 1 hour talks each about the development of their respective games.

 

usually these talks require a membership to view, but both of these have been made freely available!

 

very interesting talks!

Thanks for posting this. Can't wait to watch them. When are you going to post an update on Moto-x?

I've kinda fallen out of working on it, busy with work and other things. I do hope to get back to it soon though.

I've just watched the Yar's Revenge/Howard Scott Warshaw video, in its entirety. Really excellent talk he gives. Thanks for sharing this (one year ago).
