I like a lot of Double Fine’s games, but none as much as I likethe documentary which charted the development of Broken Age. I can’t get enough of watching funny, smart, creative people work, and Double Fine Adventure offered a one-of-a-kind, candid and thorough glimpse of game development.
Itwasone-of-a-kind until yesterday, when Double Fine released PsychOdyssey, a 32-episode documentary series charting the creation ofPsychonauts 2. Each episode is typically between 20 minutes and an hour long, and I’ve had a great time watching the first three so far.

I don’t think you need any particular interest in Double Fine games to enjoy this kind of insight into the development process. Heck, I don’t even think you need an interest in game development. Watching skilled people exercise their skill is compelling to me no matter what the skill is. Start withepisode 1 here.
