I wasn't sure if anyone was following this, it's only about a month in but I think there's something worthwhile here.

Casey Muratori, who worked on Johnathan Blow's The Witness, is creating a game from scratch (no engine, no middleware) and live streaming the entire process.

He's about 30 videos in. Each video is about an hour and a half, and it's incredible to watch. I was sorta scanning the videos. Watched a little bit of each, and day 28 was really where I got sucked in and decided to watch all the damn stuff.

It's got to be IMPOSSIBLE to watch this and not understand, in depth, the game creation process.

Casey is doing a terrific job of explaining why he's doing what he's doing and not just saying 'that is how it's done'.

The expectation is that it'll carry into 2016, which will make a massive amount of film to watch. Currently you can 'buy' the game and receive, basically, daily updates.
