Here we have one of those multi-talented programmers I keep talking about. The same programmer did the code, high-quality sprite illustration, and even the music to the youtube video (which was pretty good, and matched the nature of the time lapse video). I am inspired by this. I'm going to do this the next time I work on a game. Has anyone used time-lapse screencap software they can suggest?

It looks like he used livestream.com's Procaster to broadcast the 48hr marathon and then sped up the output later on. http://www.livestream.com/platform/procaster

A LD48 regular created chronolapse for this purpose.

To me the really impressive part is his ability to stay attentive. He never strayed away, starting surfing the web etc.

In the reddit thread about this, someone mentioned that he had multiple monitors set up, so maybe there was a bit of straying we didn't see :) Nonetheless, I found it very impressive.

That game is from the Minecraft guy [1], here is his blogpost [2]. [1] http://www.minecraft.net/ [2] http://notch.tumblr.com/post/998637682/minecraft-alpha-v1-0-...

I just wanted to present a warning about Minecraft: That game is distilled binary crack. I have lost a couple of entire days to the damned thing, and I only purchased it a couple of weeks ago. So just be careful if you try it out. I'm a recovering Minecraftoholic.
