That gentleman certainly appears to be in vigorous agreement.
‟What are you doing?”
‟Removing the ability to resurrect her. Let us see if anyone notices…”
Does that guy have 3 mouths?
Looks like they need to tighten up the graphics on level 3
To be a fly on those walls….
What happened to striped shirt man? Too much mako?
Does anyone know who these guys are? Would love to know what else they worked on after this.
This game had the best-looking cut scenes of it’s time. Now it looks like roblocks lol
What software is on the right screen? Left seems like some unix based graphics desktop
Careful…they’re heroes.
I hate that I am so cynical now that my first thought was that this was created by Midjourney…
The faces of 2 guys who have definitely spent some nights in the office trying to fix a a bug and get it right. Not all heroes wear capes
All those beautiful monitors.
Squaresoft >>>> Square Enix
I think 1997 was peak cool.
Man, seeing 90s vg developers feels like seeing into some kind of secret world. I think because i had no concept of what went into making games back then, and its like a piece of long lost knowledge
This oddly feels like wallpaper material
Are there any more photos like this?
Damn, 5 monitors?
Wasn’t the development team the biggest in the industry at the time?
Blew me away when I found out they got the menu to run at 60fps while the battle animations were at like 15-20.
That’s really cool to see
Those Sony PVM studio monitors are highly collectible amongst CRT lovers these days. Nothing like enjoying retro content on the displays they were developed on
I love how these guys are wearing button shits an ties for a game dev job. True professionals.
Nice khakis
Why is there not a documentary about this already?
It was low-hanging fruit for the 25th anniversary…
Apologies if this is common knowledge. Growing up my goal was game development. In the late 90s at college I finally realized that it would be the most erratic work/life balance ever. While I’m still glad I didn’t go that coding route, I’m also envious of these people making games. I’m not envious of 300 hour work weeks for no extra pay, to be fired after the game is released.
I saw someone playing FFVII at a party when it just came out and I couldn’t believe how good it looked. At the time it was so outrageous, I had a “I’m really living in the future” moment.
What’s up with the guy on the left’s face?
Oh, just creating magic that would affect millions for decades.
People forget how ground breaking this stuff was when it came out. FMV seamlessly blending into game play. 3d polygons. Action tracking camera shots in battles. Huge numbers of minigames.
That’s actually the irl shinra monitoring hq
Left dudes face is tripping me tf out
And they’re still working on it to this day.
This was part of the reason I used to buy games magazines. Their ‘behind the scenes’ photographs were pretty awe-inspiring as a child.
Guy on the left looks like he is wearing a mask of his own face
