Fyi, GRRM was the BOOK writer, not the TV show writer. Thought I'd clarify :) Thanks for watching!

hi can you tell me what game engine should I use.

[@YangSunWoo]

@@AnthonyOliveira_16 Any of the top engines.

[@brunotorrao]

@@AnthonyOliveira_16 Thomas would say to use whatever you're good at!

[@Nullfighter]

I love that speech at the end "This might not be the right thing to say while receiving this GOTY award, but I've made up my mind to create even more interesting games than this." That just shows how passionate this dude is, and that passion leads him to create these amazing games.

[@IdealIdleIncremental]

It's actually scary to create a game without knowing if it will be successful or not. I can totally relate to this feeling. I'm currently working on porting my most successful Flash game "Get a Little Gold" to mobile, and I really don't know how it will perform or if it will find its audience. It's driving me crazy.

[@xuimzz9194]

Jesus loves you so much He was hung on a cross,slashed on his ribs his bested pulled out for you, so that you can have a relationship with Him He’s madly in love with you Jesus wants a relationship not religion I saw two gold people by my mom’s hospital bed putting flowers on her head I was the only one who saw it. Than after I left the room she passed and she went to Heaven and She walked with Jesus and saw my uncle my aunt my great Granpa and grandma and than she went back to earth and God is great that now I have her He freed me from ocd,overthinking,saved me from Hell. If He can do that for me

[@xuimzz9194]

He can do it for you. May God Bless and prosper your games In Jesus Name Amen

Umm ackchually, George R R Martin didn't write the final seasons of Game of Thrones.

Best "But Principle" ever = Dark Souls but Open World

[@IAmALiteralDragon]

Considering their beginning making games like Kings Field before continuing into the next generation with games like Eternal Ring, Evergrace and Kuon.. These guys know a lot about taking chances and commercial failure. They've been behind very successful series such as Armored Core but during the 2000's their fantasy games were more endearing than anything. Demon Souls and then Dark Souls was when they finally seemed to hit the mark in the fantasy market and see some much deserved success. That said, as someone who's followed them from the 90's I would say I felt that Elden Ring is strangely evocative of Evergrace and Eternal Ring and not necessarily in a good way. The worlds/environments in those games are also pretty big for the time but very very hollow ( no pun intended ). It's still a great game, and even a 'bad' FromSoftware game is still pretty good, but I can see why there was skepticism behind the scenes.

[@ProfDrHawkins]

I think whats most fascinating about fromsoftware is to see where it all started with Kings Field. Looking at this humble beginnings gives me as an aspiring indi hope to achieve even something at all.

[@noisyether9211]

Hey Thomas do more of these videos !!

[@sator_project]

I bet you dollars to donuts that Brandon Sanderson told George RR Martin about Dark Souls.

[@Teeeo21]

Hi, can you make video about how to put photoshop illustration in unity and make game from it?

[@Tbjbu2]

wow not sure how I missed this video, really good!

[@gabrielalmonte8830]

Thank you soon much for the info on this game I'm play probably most rpg/open world role play since the 90..and elden ring is a outstanding game..beautifully done..just blown away by it..can't stop playing over and over again trying different player or ending..is so much to do..thank you for the story I had no idea of this..

[@barax9462]

Thomas Can you analyze "Littile Devil Inside" as how to create similar 3d art & shading style in blender if possible as i want to make something of simialr visuals,, even though the game it self "Little Devil Inside" wasnt released yet

[@vlweb3d]

4:54 - ASIAN ORGASM Those facial expressions are hilarious.

[@viktordjambov1437]

Love these videos thomas, keep it up ❤

[@viktordjambov1437]

Pretty unique to have an accomplished game developer do documentaries like this. I would love to see you put your own opinion on certain design decisions and such.

[@YangSunWoo]

This is one of your best videos. Keep it up as a series!

[@heatvisuals]

It seems no matter the position, no matter the role, no matter what, one will doubt the self

[@myrrysmiasi4866]

I think open world games just don't work for me. I love exploring tightly designed branching worlds more than anything, but open worlds completely punish my desire to search every nook and cranny. I doubt I'll ever finish Elden Ring, just because exploring the vast world to the level of detail I enjoy got dull by the third time you run across all the same encounter types, I got rather overleveled (I should get better at self imposed limitations to counteract that, but still) and I just can't bring myself to rush to the finale to get it done, because I know it would feel sucky to me.

[@nnichael]

There is no overleveled when it comes to the final area, in my experience.

[@YangSunWoo]

what did you think of BoTW?

[@samwizgamgie3rd828]

Elden Ring is like a 5 gallon of your favorite Ice cream, you can't finish it in one sitting. I took a break from Elden Ring for months then when I came back, my humanity restored. And I finally tried PvP, quite exhilarating!

[@stegoeggo]

“How Elden Ring Was Made” Proceeds to go on for 10 minutes without explaining how Elden Ring was made… Yeah, no.

[@ITAngel]

Right on!

[@rugie6247]

I haven’t watched this yet! But idk how it can be explained in 10 minutes! lol

[@kill3rbyysight]

8:31 they hv already proved that with "Bloodborne"

[@curiousconsultant7922]

This guy and his team are the embodiment of passionate artists. There was a 1000 ways to have a cash out on the souls games but they decided to push the envelope even further and explore uncharted territories

[@SAP1201]

i was waithing for this

[@kaimaiiti]

Spectacurlar, truly Spectacurlar!

[@noob_art2397]

Never played the other game but played Elden ring and I’m gonna go try the other games

[@alessandrobaggi6129]

I hope we never get ER2 and that From distances itself from open worlds: while gorgeous to see, ER is the least good Souls imo (last one would be Sekiro, for me, because no build freedom).

[@vashbain3136]

Cant wait for next Fromsoftware game

[@SixCoreSecond]

honestly i find it very weird to hype up elden ring this much even though its basically a reskin od dark souls 3… like I have yet to find any design decision in ER that isnt already present in their previous titles… and nobody can really prove otherwise since nobody can pinpoint any actual differences in design. in short, they just made a new Ip, plastered a new backstory onto it (which couldve been literally anything, so JRR was more of a PR move), and used the exact same formula as before to make a new product… why that title is treated so much more different that any FS game before is void of any logic

[@Electreczon4]

The previous ones had more of a metroidvania design, this one is open world and has a lot more content. Also you take the lore very lightly, people love that kind of stuff. It’s fine if you don’t like it, but your statements are just you being ignorant. It’s like saying “I don’t understand the hype of gta6 since it’s most likely going to use the same formula”

[@shiningsword5306]

Second!

[@actionclan5892]

[@DeputyChiefWhip]

I struggled like hell with Elden ring and sekiro. Both awesome looking, both play very well, but ultimately too hard. They, especially Sekiro, are the games I will never be able to complete which I find pretty crap.

[@starboyjedi13]

That's clearly a skill issue.

[@jaulloa21]

Elden ring is such a troll game, To the point where I’m like , I don’t care to continue progressing. Everything is there to kill you in a mostly frustrating way.

[@jcdenton868]

But when you decide to take on the challenge and get better at the game and finally beat it you gonna feel very special satisfaction.

[@InMaTeofDeath]

Oh it's far less trollsome than previous games. In Elden Ring if you can't beat something 90% of the time you can stop fighting whatever is killing you and go somewhere else to get stronger, most of their games hold up a middle finger while laughing and saying "git gud" because you have to beat the enemy before you to move on. One thing I think might help you progress is you need to accept and get over the fact that progressing in this game means along the way you're going to die, a lot. It's not just you it happened to *all* of us especially the ones yelling at you to git gud. If you finish the game you will probably die over 300 times. If you can't accept that from the start then it's a good sign that it's not for you.

[@jaulloa21]

@@InMaTeofDeath I get that but it’s a trial game of figuring out opponents moves in order to defeat them. That’s all the game is really. Just a set of trials. It’s fine but Not very entertaining if that’s all the game is.

[@InMaTeofDeath]

@@jaulloa21 Maybe not to you but it is objectively true that makes it fun to myself and millions of others. Not every game is for everyone I would never touch Fortnite or Minecraft but that doesn't make them objectively not entertaining just because I don't like them.

[@Jasonmakesvideo]

The weak minded and easily discouraged never get past that initial hump. They wanna win the first time, Every time. Putting in the time to get better and gain understanding is too much for these types of people. I bet they put as much effort in everything they do​@@jcdenton868

[@nathanwright6282]

I mean in all honesty, elden ring was a bit too overrated It's still a good game but people really go overboard with saying how good the game is. Its got A LOT of flaws and it isnt the 10/10 masterpiece everyone says it is. Just take a look at the reviews. The game is probably a 7.5 to an 8 out of 10 game for a lot of people.
