Veteran game dev Dylan Cuthbert appeared today in the latest episode<\/a> of Double Fine’s ongoing “Devs Play” series of design-focused Let’s Plays videos to\u00a0share game dev trivia about the making of the 1993 Super Nintendo game\u00a0Star Fox<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It’s worth watching because while Cuthbert is now well-known as\u00a0the founder of Q-Games (The Tomorrow Children<\/em>),\u00a0in the ’90s he was working at Argonaut Software\u00a0as one of the core programmers on\u00a0Star Fox\u00a0<\/em>and its canned sequel.<\/p>\n

This week Nintendo released its\u00a0SNES Classic mini-console<\/a>, which counts both\u00a0Star Fox\u00a0<\/em>and the never-released (before now)\u00a0Star Fox 2<\/em>\u00a0among its library of 21 SNES games. To mark the occasion, Double Fine (in conjunction with 2 Player Productions) published the\u00a0video of Cuthbert telling stories about his time working on\u00a0Star Fox\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Star Fox 2\u00a0<\/em>as someone else played through the original game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Devs who enjoy the video might want to check out its companion piece, another Devs Play video<\/a> published today in which Cuthbert chats about working on the (Japan-only) 1992 Game Boy shooter game\u00a0X,\u00a0<\/em>which is much akin\u00a0to\u00a0Star Fox<\/em>. You can find both videos and many more like them over on the Double Fine YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to hear more from Cuthbert about what it was like to work on a\u00a0Star Fox\u00a0<\/em>sequel\u00a0and see it mothballed until this week, check out our recent chat with him about\u00a0Star Fox 2<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
