THE FINAL HOURS: THE ULTIMATE BEHIND THE SCENES EXPERIENCE
Starting in 1997, Geoff Keighley began chronicling the creative process behind some of the game industry's seminal games with 'The Final Hours' series. Told from a fly-on-the-wall perspective, Keighley unearths untold stories about the twists and turns of software development by highlighting the talented designers, artists, programmers and musicians who are pushing the medium forward. In 2011 he re-invented the series as a digital storybook on iPad. Now each Final Hours story is presented as an interactive experience with photography and other elements that bring the development process to life.
