At the time development of the game started for the N64 and Windows computers, the filmmakers had yet to decide on many of the vehicles' intricacies. This meant the team often had to interpret how they thought the pods moved and functioned before running it by the filmmakers....we had to finish it first, right?

@tanganyikawildlifepark Nights. Mornings. Weekends. Meetings. Around-the-clock care for Milani. 💜 Every milestone she’s reached has been possible because of a team that shows up every single day, before the sun comes up, long after it goes down, on weekends, and in between meetings. Caring for Milani isn’t limited to a shift. It’s a 24/7 commitment fueled by dedication, teamwork, and a whole lot of love. note: These videos were taken before Milani had her IV removed. She is still proudly scarf-free and continues to get stronger every day. Thank you for cheering her on through every step of her journey. #babygiraffe #giraffe #kansas ♬ original sound - TanganyikaWildlifePark
