Skyrim small tables are actually shelves buried. If you can't see it ...
(Recreating my list of #gamedev tricks thread)
In Jak and Daxter if by any chance the Area/assets ahead aren't fully loaded the game will make you trip to give it more time to fully load. #gamedev
In Super Mario 64 to achieve the infinite stairs effect, Mario gets teleported back. Also the reason why Speedrunners can glitch and skip it using the backwards jump trick. #gamedev
There was a memory exception in Wing Commander on exit, because of the deadline they left it but change the error message to "Thank you for playing Wing Commander!" #gamedev
@djlink oh my, wing commander. This brings back memories. So many hours spent between this and Descent
@aristurlte never tried Descent, gotta search that one.
@djlink Descent 1, 2, and 3 are up on steam I think. They were for a while, then got taken down due to some publishing rights issue, but I think they're back up there again.
