- wlievens 17y agoThis is a totally awesome read. It's basically Microserfs or JPod, but for real. Total treasure trove for guys who grew up in the nineties with games like Prince of Persia.

- alex_c 17y agoThanks for posting that link, that's how I found the journals :)
- cousin_it 17y agoEspecially eye-opening was how they waited two years after release hoping the game would spread by word of mouth, it didn't, so they did a traditional marketing push and succeeded.
- rimantas 17y agoNot sure what was more thrilling to read "Dracula" or this "Old journals".

- Poiesis 17y agoReally cool read. It appears to be down now, which is a shame because I'm halfway done!
- gcv 17y agoI stayed up way, way too late reading this. An astounding story, and very well told. Amazing and inspiring that someone could blend the arts, hacking, and business to such a degree.
