I don't work at Naughty Dog, and I don't have any secret knowledge of Jak & Daxter, except what I figured out myself from the disc. So a lot of this may well be wrong. Take a pinch of salt with it.
Isn't there an HN regular who did work at Naughty Dog, at least in the Crash Bandicoot days? Was he still around by the J&D days to fact-check?
- strags 10y agoI know of at least a couple of ex-dogs who lurk around here. The article's pretty much correct, if memory serves. I started at ND in 2004, around the tail-end of Jak 3. After Andy had left, I picked up the Goal compiler, and hacked it around to generate code for the PSP. After about a week or two, we had the kernel booting, and hot-patching working. We built a whole engine that looked amazing, but unfortunately the project was shelved. Still, it was some of the most fun I've had in my career.
