>How big were dev teams in the NES era?
For the code itself, between 1-6 people typically depending on complexity of the game and platform. For the entire team, about 10-30 people, so not much different from today's small studios. "The Mythical Man Month" is a classic book on software development that explains why. Basically, you reach a certain point where throwing more people at the problem actually starts to slow the team down. ~30 seems to be the "Goldilocks zone" for most projects.

Gabriel Knight Sins of the Fathers had 81 developers credited, came out in 1993. Kings Quest 5 had 66 and came out in 1990. Magic Carpet came out in 1994 and had 57 people on the team. SimCity 2000 in 1993 had 64 people. Many games from the NES era had teams of 50 or more.
If you wanna be a pedantic cunt and demand an NES specific title, Mega Man 6 has 55 developers credited.

You might struggle to find any of them from Japanese studios. Companies like Sega, Namco, Konami, Nintendo had a policy of using pseudonyms in the games end credits to keep their talent from being recruited by competitors.

I really like these unlockable videos in THPS3 with developers just fucking around in the office. In general, the whole game gives off the vibe that the developers still had fun making it and it wasn't just about getting another paycheck.

I'm sure that contributes, but I'm generally of the belief that people think too deeply about this: It probably has way, way more to do with the fact that people are getting way less exercise, get way less sunlight/fresh air, are way more stressed, and have way worse diets.

Sort of like how people are always looking at fad diets and "one simple trick to lose weight" when the answer is the big obvious stuff that they're not doing right.

That's not ... really what that book was getting at. You can have a lot of people on a project no problem if they are all there from the start. It's adding people to projects partway through that can slow things down.

That book also discusses how to structure programming teams but the motivation for Brooks' recommendations there is that talented programmers take significantly less time to write programs than untalented ones while also writing significantly better programs.
He essentially says throw the worse programmers at all programming-adjacent tasks (except documentation, which he leaves to the good programmers) so the good programmers can focus on writing programs.

Horii didn't do jack shit on CT, and it seems he is quite piss off about it, because he wrote the script but it was changed back and forth to the point that the only thing that stood from it was the time traveling stuff, there are rumours in the Japanese internet that says that he brought the rights for it in the late 2000s so the game couldn't get a proper sequel without his authorisation.
Also the supervisor part was meaningless because the way Square did things with FF, like they put everybody's ideas on the table and add to the game what works, meanwhile DQ has Horii with the last word in what goes in and what doesn't. Because of this it seems that he felt that he was in a publicity stunt more than anything.

Plastics aren't inherently bad. Ever heard of plastic cups, plastic cases, plastic covers to DVDs and Blu-rays? plastic condoms, etc? Oh, and Regardless of the ratio by which plastics placed in food do decrease t-levels, there are also things that can do the same thing, but with estrogen levels.

Just random things that I came across on youtube. I'll post a few more, if I can think of them. Someone did remind me of this Star Fox Nintendo Power:

It's always interesting when a company documents their own company through video. Those Sega ones were made to show new applicants what it is like to work at Sega. They were produced to recruit new employees.

Not NES era but a good example none the less. You can feel the SOVL dissipating from the devs once they are bought out by microsoft and move to some cookie cutter corporate office. Many such cases.

im hoping we'll get more photos from inside multiple nintendo studios once the museum is up and running. It's quite a shame we only have footage in nintendo hq during snes era and nothing during the transition to 3d. Heck even with that botw doco they produced id have hoped they'd shown devs working on it but alas nothing

It would be great to see some more behind the scenes things from N64 developers. Looking online for commercially produced 'behind the scenes' videos only, I can find a lot of 'making of' videos for PS1 produced games. many of these behind the scenes videos came from demo discs that were included with various PS1 era gaming magazines. Also, some PS1 games would feature 'making of' videos on the disc.

Night Trap Dangerous Minds documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Okt1hPJAmc

This video was produced in 1995, as a documentary chronicling how Night Trap was part of the 1993 violent video game hearings. But ontop of that, this video has a lot of behind the scenes footage of the filming of Night Trap. If you look at the clip boards, the filming dates for the game was 1987.

The aughts were the start of everything going horribly wrong. I don't know if I pity or envy people who don't really remember what the world was like before 9/11

>cynicism

there was plenty of cynicism when you had the President on TV saying "torturing prisoners to death is good, actually" while we blew up a country for no reason other than his family had a beef with its leader

Hard to say which I like more in hindsight. 2000s was fun though, and the best time for the internet at least.

Yeah, Iraq War and all was bullshit, as was the Patriot Act and all the other BS. But I agree that culturally it was still a good time. The last decade has been the worst, smartphones and social media actually did ruin society like people warned.

Theres a bunch of footage on youtube if you know what to search.
From what I've seen over the years it ranges from a single guy who is hardcore into the code trying to cram in all the demo FX, dreary software houses trying to cling on to the latest fad, small plucky startups who outshine the big guys.

This is the documentary on the making of radical rex, the impression I get is that its a pretty uninspired game jumping on the dinosaur fad since that what the kidz are into. Seems like they know its just some bullshit game to fill the shelves, whatever just a day job for them. Hello, we are into Mortal Kombat now, dinosaurs are so 1992.

On the other hand I think turrican was made by one person who just wanted to make the best game possible and then you have Rare who said in interviews that you would have team members who are trying to one up others by creating the best graphical effect.

This next one shows Imagic, makers of some of the best games from 1983 and earlier.

You can see one of the pixel artists working on Comix Zone. Also, I think there is a segment with composer Howard Drosin, who played some music tracks from Comix Zone as well. So clearly SOA was working on Comix Zone when the production crew came in to film that video.
