How COVID-19 Quarantine Affected Hades' Development - Developing Hell #05

[@NoclipDocs]

Thanks for waiting for this one. We began production on this episode back in March not knowing what the world would look like in the future and whether any of our interviews or footage would be usable. So major thanks to Supergiant Games for being so open in interviews and for their trust in our vision. The final episode of Hades: Developing Hell will be live shortly after the game reaches it's 1.0 launch. If you've missed any of the older episodes, here's the playlist; kzbin.info/aero/PL-THgg8QnvU4JEVov1tMlFThNYS92F8uC - stay safe out there! 😷🤘

[@TilSkywalker]

Rewriting the game engine while working on a game on that same Engine, without breaking anything during a pandemic? That's just insane! thats like replacing the walls of your house while making sure the roof doesn't fall on your head... The Supergiant-documentaries are always such a joy to watch! I really hope you guys keep working together after Hades aswell!

And as far as I understood from C# to C. That's like stop doing pasta with a pasta machine and a stand mixer to using a rolling pin, a dull knife, and your hands. Granted, you can make it work just fine, but its some TITANIC work.

[@seannewell397]

Absolutely. This effort must have been bonkers; bet some of their engineers loved it and hated it all at the same time.

OMG, yes.

[@carlotta4th]

I'm sure they had insurance (even if it still sucks losing computers and stuff).

[@Ashtarte3D]

It's almost adorable how Greg still can't fathom the 98% on Steam. You guys have consistently improved with every game and you all do something vitally important that other companies only claim to do: you listen to the fans. I still see Greg and Amir pop up in the Hades reddit to explain certain decisions or address concerns. When we have a negative reaction to a change you consider our point of view and sometimes pull back on the change. This is almost unheard of for other companies. Additionally I respect that Greg didn't pass judgement on the burglary acknowledging that wealth disparity was likely a contributing factor; you don't have to approve of what they did but understanding is important.

[@tiraelrosenburg345]

As someone who has 34 hours and climbing in Hades, I know for a fact they earned every fraction of a percent. Just the sheer number of voiced interactions, all dependent on each other and anything else you do. The whole thing is consistently gorgeous, it has a customizable endgame system, and they even gave new models to the weapon aspects! They didn't have to do that, they could have just said it works like this now. It's truly incredible.

[@tremorchrist84]

The dude was very on point about the robbery and the struggle to get out of poverty. If you've ever had the misfortune of watching people you love starve it's definitely not hard to understand.

[@Pile_of_carbon]

I've done some 80 runs. Still finding new content, still getting into hilarious situations, still finding new cool combos of gear and boons. Dying and going back to House of Hades doesn't really feel like losing either because it's a chance to listen to more amazingly well written dialogue, unlock side quests and further NPC stories. This is by far the most polished game I've played alongside stuff like Dark Souls 3. Those 98 % are well deserved.

[@somedude1324]

Seriously, Supergiant (Pyre, and Hades.

I don't know what the hell the "big names" are doing right now, but nothing seems really interesting to me (plus the soundtracks of all games I've listed except for SHENZHEN I/O have a really good soundtrack, which is also sadly pretty rare in AAA titles)

Over a month into 2021 and it hurts to know that these people are still working from home, that everyone is still living this. Back when the pandemic started, I had to stop a month into an internship I'd worked my ass off for. I'm so tired of living like this. Right now I'm angry and sad, but most of the time I'm just tired. Empty. My life has very little in it. I feel like other than my internship, I've less lost anything than hit pause on life. But these people had something great and they've had so much of that taken from them. Its...it's just upsetting.

[@KinaCow]

Thank you so much, noclip, for this documentary series. It's made me love Supergiant Games even more than I already did after playing Hades. The people who work there are so down-to-earth, it's unreal. First with how Greg shows compassion and understanding towards the people who stole from their studio - there's wasn't even the slightest bit of anger as he talked about the robbery. That seriously awed me. And then Amir was asked how their team was doing and he said something like, "We work really efficiently but I don't know how everyone is doing." That was such a real and genuine response. He didn't try to cover up the situation and say that everything is great, just honestly admitted that he doesn't know everyone's personal circumstances during a time as difficult as the pandemic. It comes as no surprise to me that the people behind a game as great as Hades are equally great themselves. I will be buying and playing all of their previous titles, along with any others they come out with in the future (hopefully many more). Thanks again to noclip and Supergiant for the wonderful insight. I've learned so much from this documentary.

This episode of the series, in particular, moved me. This particular series is wonderful. It's sparked something in me that I've been resisting and I'm riding that feeling now. Thanks to Noclip and Supergiant for something truly incredible. Thank you, so much.

I was wondering if a new one of these would come out since the new trailer released recently, glad to see I was right!

We decided to wait until after the Switch announcement so we could get all the pre-vis trailer stuff in here.
