Behind the scenes documentary following one day in the development of Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance that was included on the Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance game disc.
This holds a very special place in my heart. I remember intently watching this, and it inspired a career to become a 3D animation artist. Almost 17 years later and I work for McDonald's
Tbh I say you dodged a bullet on that one! Being a game developer now! They get treated badly and pretty much have crunch time to meet deadlines! Maybe McDonald’s isn’t so bad after all
Going into 2020, I'm sure we can all agree MK Deadly Alliance revitalized the series. After MK4 the hype died fast, but when this dropped, I knew it was something special. Then we got the legendary MK Decpetion and so on. Long live these guys man. It's sad many of them aren't even on the MK development team anymore.
i think that the trilogy and mk11 x mortal kombat 9 is the best video game ever since 1993 im 31 still play online and i like to kill em every now and again.
Wait what? This is by far one of the worse games in the series, only topped by Special Forces. Now Deception polished all the horrible mechanics this game introduced.
@@kodemasterx That's fair hence why I didn't bash you or troll, etc. I'm 35 been playing since I was 5. MKDA might be surpassed gameplay-wise, but at the time it was insane how much content was in that game. It absolutely revived the series. I'd say Deception was the peak for that era.
I love the interaction with Ed Boon and Tony Goskie at 5:23. A sudden huge breakthrough and you can just feel Ed's excitement thinking about how awesome it will be in the final game. And a good demonstration of the talent and ingenuity of the people making this game with Tony's efficient solution. It makes me smile
As a kid I was so jealous of these devs and wanted to work there, but as an adult I hear Ed say 7:00 AM to 9:30 PM and thank my lucky stars I didn't go that route.
actually he went int that early he said many of hte others show up between 9am to 10am. so really they were working 12 hour days. i mean that still sucks but ed was making the big bucks so hey it paid off for him
He didnt stay like that years. He probably stay focus and hard working like that during game development then took a long vacation in between games as long as he wanted. Also he could have retired rich long ago, like john tobias probably. If he stayed so long is because he like it and if you are doing what you like it isnt really working, he is having fun all day long. @@joeswanson733
not really this is the norm for that kind of industry. 12 hour days are routine. since ed was team leader he puts in extra hours but considering he makes good six figure salary plus bonus and options etc i think it's worth it. if anything i'm surrpised he's still in the business. he's hitting 57 he could easily retire and sail off to the sunet. he's done his bit and part.
I remember watching this a lot as a kid, and I was inspired to learn 3D modeling and animation. I took Maya in college and one day decided to watch this again and realized, that's literally the program they are using in the video :D
Marco Martinez you can be passionate about anything, doesn’t mean you always feel like spending 15 hours a day doing it. You know how tedious of a job animation is? Imagine spending 15 hours (minus breaks) staring a computer screen animating something that will only be about 20 seconds in length when all is said and done..... then doing it again the next day, and the next day. Not to mention running into problems, not being able to get something to work right sometimes and having to figure out a solution. I’m sure they get headaches and get testy and irritable sometimes. Even things you love doing can feel like a chore now and then. The final product might be great, but a lot of hard tedious, sometimes headache inducing work went into making it. It’s not always just a big playground where they’re always having fun like you see in this video. Some people have this misconception that just because they enjoy the product, the job of making that product must be completely awesome, one big funhouse. I’m sure these guys love their jobs overall, but you can also bet your ass there are times when they don’t love it so much. You just never see those moments on camera. Plus they sometimes have deadlines to meet, deadlines which it doesn’t always look like they’re going to be able to meet and have to work even harder, try to solve their technical issues faster, and stress themselves out more.
@@uome20bukz Well yeah don't get me wrong, nothing is a cake walk. But like I said in my case with the many tedious and sometimes frustrating hobbies I have, I feel like I have almost no time. As I've said before, I'll spend about half a day working on a painting, and while there are mistakes and many small things that need attention when working on one, it's still fun. Idk I think you just gotta have a true passion as I said before. I love doing this for free, but if somebody paid me alot for a single painting I'd love it even more.
my GOD! comes in to work 6:30am, leaves work 9:30pm!!! you have to wake up freaking 5am just to get ready. we don't even know how far the damn work is, cuz he has to drive there:/
Oh my goodness. This game came out when I was 15 yrs old. I remember my cousin telling me about it; especially when he told me that Adema did a music video for the game. I got super excited and I just had to have it.
I remember watching this when I was a child. And I didn't understand anything because my mother lenguage is spanish, but now I can be sure that english lessons works xP
Me at 6 years old “I don’t know what they’re talking about but it’s cool!” Me after college with a computer graphics degree: “I know what they’re talking about and it’s a pain.”
Remember when game used to have awesome extras that out can unlock in game? And NOT pay $30 for a "Behind the scenes pack?" Now most video game "extra's" are just 10-20 drawings of the characters and levels. OR just 3 pathetic music tracks that are CALLED extras! Also why was that 1 guys shirt blurred out?
@@jeremykun27 I had finally looked it up. I used to think that it was a Jimmy Buffet song before Googling it. It sounds like it could have been one of his songs.
