Hopefully, this will filter to Gamasutra in the coming weeks. I can't find GD magazine on the rack anymore.

Quote:

The cover feature for the August 2005 issue is a postmortem of Double Fine's warped action platform title Psychonauts. which went through two publishers and four years of cinched belts before seeing the light of day. What holds a development team together when the game they're making is literally straining toward psychosis? Game Developer strives to find out.

I moved this topic to General Gaming as Psychonauts is actually more of an action/adventure/platformer.

I'll just stick this here:

- Majesco and Xbox Live have revealed that the previously announced Advent Rising contest to win $1,000,000 has been cancelled, in the wake of technical issues relating to the game pieces meant to be downloaded over Xbox Live. As compensation, Majesco is offering two free Xbox games to anyone who sends in a copy of an Advent Rising UPC tag along with shipping information and XBL Gamertag; players may choose from BloodRayne 2, Guilty Gear X2 #Reload, Psychonauts, Raze's Hell, and Phantom Dust. Those wanting to redeem their UPC codes must send them in by September 15 to receive the games."
