Escapist Documentaries - Gameumentary

Gameumentary presents our debut short documentary, The Story of Runic Games.

Bill Gardner, formerly the lead level designer on Bioshock at Irrational Games, discusses the making of the opening level of the game in this mini-doc from Gameumentary (now part of The Escapist).

This mini-documentary was shot during our documentary shoot at Outpost Games, where we spoke with a number of Visceral Games developers not long after the closure of their studio to discuss their favorite memories working on the Dead Space franchise.

During our recent trip to California, we took an extra day to go visit Jesper Kyd at his studio to get the footage we needed for our upcoming documentary on Darksiders. We ended up filming a full doc on him. This is the story of Jesper Kyd's journey to becoming a renowned video game composer.

The story of The Deep End Games follows Bill and Amanda Gardner's journey through game development leading up to the release of their first indie title, Perception. It's a personal story about managing a family while also working to make it as an independent developer.

This documentary covers the story of Outpost Games, a new startup studio in South San Francisco currently working on the early access title SOS. This documentary was previously uploaded to Destructoid.

During our recent trip to Austin, TX for the filming of our Darksiders documentary, we took some extra time to sit down with Joe Madureira to tell his personal journey from developing comics to video games.
