Attachment The reason Fairy type Pokemon were introduced was to balance out the game. Fairy type has an advantage over Dragon type, which was considered an overpowered type by Game Freak.

Attachment The Sonic Generations level list was conducted almost entirely on fan feedback, unknowingly to the fans themselves. Between the game's development cycle, SEGA (specifically the "Sonic" Facebook page) released a poll back in 2009, along with other unimportant ones, simply asking the reader to list their favorite levels from each Sonic game, leaving fans none the wiser. The most mentioned levels from both fans and some internal employees became the official level list for Generations.

Shu Takumi, the creator of the Ace Attorney series, had always wanted to make a mystery game. He gained this opportunity when Capcom told him to get 7 inexperienced employees and "make whatever you want". His idea for a lawyer based game was frowned upon by the higher-ups, but tried to convince them that the game would be interesting with its "eccentric" characters.

Attachment GLaDOS had a few different designs before the final one seen in the game. Earlier designs included a floating brain, a sprawling, spidery mechanism, and an upside-down version of Botticelli's painting "The Birth of Venus" made out of robot parts. The final version was a huge mechanical device with a delicate robotic figure, which shows off her raw power and femininity.
