...that Gamasutra's Postmortems had been turned into a book:

Yes, Trespasser's postmortem is included. I wonder if it has any pictures not featured on the online article...

Hey, thanks for sharing this with us, sounds interesting. I think the online article did have images, I'm not sure though. But I don't remember seeing anything new. But who knows if the book has other images...

The book features other images, and the text isn't quite the same...

I found a free version of the ebook for those that want to read the whole article. Haven't read thru it yet to see what's different from the other version (viewtopic.php?f=39&t=4699&hilit=postmortem) but there are a few different pictures.

Huh, I never thought of Trespasser as a development project having the same sort of busting-open-new-domains leading to a tragic ending :|
