<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgamedev.win/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/watch-q-games-dylan-cuthbert-share-stories-of-coding-star-fox.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>Veteran game dev Dylan Cuthbert appeared today in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnfUsRWtxCc&list=PLIhLvue17Sd7izhrvC_tNfzrm6N1L_Vsv&index=2">latest episode</a> of Double Fine’s ongoing “Devs Play” series of design-focused Let’s Plays videos to share game dev trivia about the making of the 1993 Super Nintendo game <em>Star Fox</em>.</p>
<p>It’s worth watching because while Cuthbert is now well-known as the founder of Q-Games (<em>The Tomorrow Children</em>), in the ’90s he was working at Argonaut Software as one of the core programmers on <em>Star Fox </em>and its canned sequel.</p>
<p>This week Nintendo released its <a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/300545/Nintendo_is_bundling_a_neverbeforereleased_game_with_the_SNES_Classic.php">SNES Classic mini-console</a>, which counts both <em>Star Fox </em>and the never-released (before now) <em>Star Fox 2</em> among its library of 21 SNES games. To mark the occasion, Double Fine (in conjunction with 2 Player Productions) published the video of Cuthbert telling stories about his time working on <em>Star Fox </em>and <em>Star Fox 2 </em>as someone else played through the original game. </p>
<p>Devs who enjoy the video might want to check out its companion piece, another <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wf2cn7fcD0&list=PLIhLvue17Sd7izhrvC_tNfzrm6N1L_Vsv&index=1">Devs Play video</a> published today in which Cuthbert chats about working on the (Japan-only) 1992 Game Boy shooter game <em>X, </em>which is much akin to <em>Star Fox</em>. You can find both videos and many more like them over on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQMxCuhm25CUS9MZKjZ2ihQ">Double Fine YouTube channel</a>.</p>
