Community manager Mikey Dowling over at the Obsidian forums informs us that the third part of the Pillars of Eternity Making Of documentary sneak preview is up. This part is about the game's preproduction and prototyping phase, and for the first time we get to see the rest of the development team. Feargus Urquhart talks about how working with a small team brings back memories of the old days, Adam Brennecke introduces said team, and at the end, Josh Sawyer talks a bit about his vision for the game itself.

​

The next part will be about production proper, I imagine. I wonder how much unedited documentary there'll be left to see after they show us all these previews.

Has there been any Tim Cain appearances at all so far?

 

[Perkel]

Yes Tim is shown as programing/design god watching over Obsidian peasants.

Ah man, I always feel warm and fuzzy inside when I watch these videos. ^^

 

[Drax]

Inb4 they remove 30 seconds of the video because someone said something on twitter.

 

[Eddas]

Also known as "How to make a beautiful, but shitty game - Part Three".

You're not even trying to sound rational any more.. I would be Creeped the hell out by you if I worked at Obsidian.

Why? I just love seeing how did they make the game.

You sound like the kind of guy who would show up on "To Catch a Predator" with a 6 pack of Mikes hard lemonade and a box of condoms - trying to explain how you just wanted to hang out and watch cartoons..

And you sound like the kind of guy who would show up without the hard lemonade and condoms. Cheap bastard.

Well, that's disturbing. I am really not sure how to respond to that.

Something, something... pussy whipped?

Inb4 they remove 30 seconds of the video because someone said something on twitter.

Just for you i guess.

[IHaveHugeNick]

Well these are terrible. Do they even have some actual documentary in the documentary, or is it just bunch of people talking about Kickstarter campaign for 50 hours.

 

[Sensuki]

Probably not until later on. I believe the documentary filming started later than the period they're talking about so everything in it is either an interview or a fake scene.

 

[Morkar Left]

Josh is talking about challenges...

 

[jagged-jimmy]

The funny part is Josh talking about what he wanted the various game aspects to be like... and you have to feel the game failed at every one of them. I am not saying it's total shit, but if you had to evaluate each point with yeah/nope.
"I want to explore every inch of this word" ?
"I want interact with these cool characters" ?
"Meaningful, cool character building" ?
etc.

'Nope, not really.

 

[Ninjerk]

I wanted to see all of the environment art.
