Masahiro Sakurai launches YouTube Channel to Discuss Game Dev
Masahiro Samurai, the man you know best from his work with the Super Smash Bros. series, has started a YouTube channel, Masahiro Sakurai at Creating Games.
According to an introduction video, Sakurai intends to use the channel to discuss the details of game development. This channel is intended to be helpful to both those interested in learning more about game development for their practice and to fans of games who want to see the inside of the process of making their favourite games. Sakurai claims he has permission to speak about previously unexplored aspects of development and tales from his long career. These videos will be available in Japanese as well as English subtitles.
Sakurai states in the intro video that she wants to make gaming more enjoyable globally. You might learn something new if you are interested in making games or aspiring to make them. Learning more about the mechanics of games can enhance your enjoyment. It’s also fun to see what someone else does now and again. It doesn’t mean you have to be a part of the industry.
Most importantly, I hope this will eventually lead to more game developers. This will result in more games that are fun for everyone to enjoy. These videos, however niche they may be, will hopefully provide unique value for many years.
Sakurai already has his first video uploaded to the channel. It is called “Stop for Big Moments” and focuses on visual effects and hit stops from the Super Smash Bros. series and how they can make gameplay moments visually more impactful.
