Way back in the late 90s, I was part of a team of people building a top-down mod for Unreal. The programmer on the team was the lead programmer for Extreme Paintbrawl. I remember him telling us stories of how they were all working like 20 hour days to put the game together in two weeks.

(In)famously features a soundtrack by musician Todd Duane, consisting of supposed "demo" tracks that had been submitted for the company's approval -- intended to be finished later. This never came to pass. Todd later released the same demos as an album. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLBx...
