Hey Everyone,

Here is the first in our three part series on Machine Games. It's the shortest of the three episodes and focuses on the pre-history of the studio when the founders worked at Starbreeze Studios on games like Enclave, The Darkness and Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay.

As ever, here are the chapters:

The second episode is about an hour and focuses on the development of their Wolfenstein series. It's currently available to watch on Noclip Early Access.

The third and final episode dives into Indiana Jones & The Great Circle. That will be coming to Noclip early access and YouTube in early September.

Let us know what you think of this one - we hope you enjoy it!
