I love these “insider dev stories” people do, especially on the older games I played when I was younger. Anyone have links to anymore good ones? It’s so cool to learn a bit about what went into making the games and who the people were.

Gamasutra used to have some interesting postmortems. Not sure if they still do it for newer titles.

This is still one of my favorites: https://ultra64.ca/files/other/Game-Developer-Magazine/GDM_S... detailing how Resident Evil 2 N64 was able to fit in a 64MB cart despite the PSX version needing two CDs.
