VA-11 Hall-A's Glitch City is based heavily off of Caracas, a city in Venezuela known for its rampant government corruption. In 2015 through 2016, there was an increase in food shortages, and thus you had to make long lines to get curated amounts of food, like 1 pack of flour per person. When it released in 2016, the danger/u/ threads made nods to the current situation at the time: >don't go out after 5PM unless you want to get mugged or murdered >bring a portable chair everywhere, you'll have to line up for flour >get used to eat what you find, shortages are getting out of hand All the flavor text that made Glitch City seem like a dystopian future was actually the reality that Venezuelans were experiencing. The developers were living in less-than-ideal conditions yet still managed to make an awesome game.

[@st1ka]

Oh wow! That's an old one haha

[@eryxyre]

In Poland we had a pirate culture, so popular games would be not the ones that are easy to sell, but the ones that we would be likely to share. IMO that made our experiences better. No console games, more strategy/RPG. Many roguelike developers (traditional meaning of roguelike, not "a game where you can die") are Polish, this seems related :) I am also a big fan of Finnish games. Deluxe Ski Jump and Liero were very popular in Poland, a bit of roguelike culture, and more recently, Noita... but this video shows something else :)

[@Gnidel]

In terms of legal games, many of them were from CDs attached to gaming magazines or cheap rereleases that costed 20zł like eXtra Klasyka. Additionally we weren't that rich as a country, so children had to convince parents to buy PC "for school" if they wanted a gaming device. That made Polish gaming even more PC-centric.

[@st1ka]

Oh we also had a culture of Piracy in Portugal xD

49:20 Witcher uses Bioware's Aurora engine, made for first Neverwinter Nights, by 2007 they since moved past Odyssey (for KOTOR & 2) and Electron (Obsidian's NWN2) and decided to move to a heavily modified version of Unreal Engine 3 for Mass Effect. So yes, it was LITERALLY behind the times, as it was using an older Bioware engine.

[@DrMcCoy]

Aurora, Odyssey, Eclipse, all the BioWare engines from Neverwinter Nights to Dragon Age 2 (excluding Mass Effect) are all the same basis, just extended each time. And the renderer redone, often. But they still use the same mod and area structure, GFF files (akin to binary XML) and the same script language, NWScript (just with a few more opcodes in Dragon Age). Even the first Witcher shows that, just with a new renderer again and they added Lua scripts in addition to NWScript. They only stopped using that base when Dragon Age: Inquisition movec to Frostbite.

I.e. saying it's "behind the times" is completely ignorant of how game development works.

St1ka has hit a grand slam with this video!!! Absolutely amazing from the excellent topic, to all the guests, everthing is executed perfectly!! In my opinion this is best video on this channel so far and the best video to cover this topic!! A+++

[@st1ka]

Haha thank you! Sadly it seems the algorithim isn't interested in promoting it. Seems like a common theme with my channel now

[@ObiKKa]

I have an idea. Convert brief clips of each country's highlighted games in different shorts, which will do well, I think.

[@st1ka]

@ObiKKa the issue with shorts is that they don't convert into views for Long-form videos. In general I'm not a huge fan if making shorts 😅

[@ShinzouKatsune]

Thank you SO MUCH for compiling this. Its excellent and shows you are DEFINITELY commited to the global gaming community.

[@st1ka]

Thank you! I try ^^

[@mattkidroske]

Every time I watch a St1ka video, I learn about at least 5 games that I really want to play lol

[@st1ka]

Good xD

[@DamianOchramowicz]

It is crazy how gaming's legacy is basically based on 2 nations - USA and Japan. I'd imagine that many people had an issue with picks in this video - for me the most important american game is Doom, and the most important Japanese game is Demons Souls.

[@st1ka]

A few had issues but overall it was really well received. While making this video I was surprised by how many games I thought were American that actually weren't

[@FlavourFool]

Amazing project, congratulations!

[@st1ka]

Thank you ^^

[@oaksaint4458]

This is insane! You delivered and the video is awesome! Hope to see all countries represented eventually.

[@st1ka]

That's the end goal... assuming the video does well >_>

[@oaksaint4458]

I hope it will!

[@st1ka]

@@oaksaint4458 So far, it's not doing great. But it seems my channel in general is in a downward trend >_>

[@mikethetowns]

Ayyy hell yeah Slopes Game Room

[@st1ka]

haha

[@hemangchauhan2864]

For India - Raji The Ancient Epic Action adventure game set in Hindu Mythology. Not many games that explore this setting. Made by former Rockstar India devs. One of them even sold her apartment to get the game off the ground.

[@st1ka]

Oh wow that's pretty cool!

[@StuCupid]

I knew about the term 'French Touch' being used to refer to house music that was made by french djs/producer but I had no idea it was also used for video games. Very cool video!

[@st1ka]

Yeah it was used for both xD

[@Darkprosper]

At least here in France, the words "French Touch" are often applied to any specifically French style of anything. It seems that internationally it's mostly applied to music, but here I've heard it most about movies, and you can see it applied to things like cuisine, entrepreneurship, romance... Essentially, the French Touch is doing things the French way.

[@st1ka]

@@Darkprosper aah makes sense!

[@AikisDominator]

8:35 That bgm sounds so familiar. Is it Shatterhand?

[@Nateanderthal]

Awesome video, the game I am building is inspired by a ton of different games from the 16-era. I didn't know the origin of quite a few of these so thanks for the info.

[@st1ka]

Glad I could help

[@Nateanderthal]

@@st1ka I love videogame history so this video scratched that itch!

[@yashy2x]

Simply awesome video 😢❤

[@st1ka]

thank you! :D

[@Newsdee]

a great video with so many things to try! If you ever revisit games from Uruguay, I can suggest Narco Police for Amiga

[@st1ka]

Sounds good! :D

[@Pettysburg]

That picture of his "friend" from space quest historian was fn nasty work

[@kissthistwice5]

Great video St1ka and very interesting. Personally for Spain I would have gone with one of Gaelco's games.

[@st1ka]

Yeah I probably should have included some of those as well

[@nemanjamilosevic1370]

Great and fresh idea for a video!good job

[@st1ka]

Thank you ^^

[@cube2fox]

Wow, this video deserves so much more views!

[@gonzaloreina]

Nice video. It's amazing the love to the videogames from Brazil. Another country that you can add is Chile with the great "Tormented Souls". Greetings from Argentina

[@st1ka]

thank you for the sugestion :D

[@PandamoniumBruu]

Hey, argie here. The indie scene here is growing larger every year. Since the "Unity debacle" and the growing in popularity of Godot (made in Argentina), there are more and more people interested in game development.

[@st1ka]

That's great to hear :D

[@chumbayaa]

Pointing at Dingwall and passing it off as Dundee😂 Is a great vid tho, learnt a lot!

[@st1ka]

haha

[@bundjohn]

I had to watch this in a couple of parts but thank you for showcasing all these countries and their games. Coffee Talk was one of my favourite games that I played last year and bought episode 2 on release day to support the devs. I need to pick up VAL HALL LA or however it's spelt as it's on my radar!

[@st1ka]

Valhalla is great but I'm going to be controversial and say that I like Coffee Talk better haha

[@RAKtheUndead]

Really awesome video which really illustrates a part of gaming which isn't often looked at. While I was familiar with some of the games from countries not usually noted for video game development, others were new to me and rather interesting as a result.

[@st1ka]

I'm glad I could help ^^
