How video games were made - concept art montage

[@TheCivildecay]

damn I love the synthwave retro-arcade your video's have!

[@strafefox]

What?! 2 Splash Wave videos in one week! is the Apocalypse coming? No don't worry it is just a little companion/bonus episode! ;)

[@xxleosk8xx]

I dont know if it is because I played most of the games showed in this channel when I was a child. But I feel so much happeness and peace watching these videos. The video editting is beautifull as well these great musics mixed with all these great games its crazy. It makes me remember of my childhood good times

[@nicholasgerry6931]

Totally agree x) The only bad thing is that I just found this channel recently, good thing is I can binge watch their vids lol.

[@Used__Napkin]

Man, I love looking through concept and production art. I wish more games had an “art gallery” mode.

[@sev2300]

Really love this channel. Great content. I can see your passion for video games in these videos.

[@SaltyRamen.]

2:32 that is gold. Seriously this channel has the highest production value. I hope your channel explodes in views and subs

[@TonyStarkCLC]

I noticed the boom on the horrible example of low production values Capcom of America (if it ever existed) had back then. It was sorely needed of a sentiment we all capcom fans have abut that haunting image. Thank goodness i sought in the comments if someone else noticed, because I knew i couldn't be the only one.

[@BlankTriggerGamers]

Keep on making videos dude! Some of the best on youtube! Also synthwave rocks! -TriggerStrifey

[@strafefox]

It sure does! :) And thanks I will!

[@shwink]

Top notch video as always. It really is amazing the effort developers put into production art even if it didn't look exact or was used in final game. Still amazed how close streets of rage storyboard look to final game.

[@olyna]

Just game this video the 1000th like it rightfully deserves. A masterpiece of nostalgia to watch and listen over and over again

[@nostartia]

Thanks for compiling, editing and producing. I want it all!

[@dragonbleu1205]

It’s absolutely beautiful ! I just discovered your channel and I am shocked for not having known all of this in the 90s during my art studies. No one knew how it was all. No student, or even the best were able to make drawings of this level. It proves that we were all shabby and that we could never have worked in video games or cinema. The technical level is far too high for what I was able to do despite 6 years in an art school to try to become a professional day. The work does not pay in art or the efforts that have been trying for years to try to improve. It is the most ungrateful job in the world and the most unsatisfactory in the world. Some people have brains made for this job, others no and work will not change anything. If you are zero in drawing do not waste your time in an art school and go to study another job. My advice will save you from working hard for nothing.

I love the aesthetic of your channel. The 80s, midnight, neon vibe makes me feel young again, and it makes these games feel fresh and new. I'm relatively new to your videos, but I'm hooked. Everything's really well done, man. I've been wanting to create a channel like this for a while now, but it looks like you've got this covered. Great job!

[@BurningVAP]

I know im a bit late but this may be my favourite video ever here in youtube, the art is inspiring, the music is pretty catchy and the editing just makes it all come together nicely.

[@strafefox]

Awesome to hear! Thanks so much :)

[@dirtyharry1844]

I always wondered why information about the process of making these classic games are so scarce.Probably there´s tons of behind scenes material inside their vaults that will never see the light of the day.There´s so much mistery behind the creation of these games.Your channel is one of the fews that tries to touch the matter.Thanks for the high quality content.

[@digitaltos2696]

I can't believe you put the infamous Megaman US artwork there :D

[@strafefox]

Ha! I most have been possessed when I did ;)

[@rickonami]

Just WOW.....

[@bundr]

Really cool!! So nice to see so much of it was used in the actual games!!

[@guystyle8062]

In case you weren't aware already (1.5 years+ after the upload, it would be crazy if it hasn't already been mentioned), the title seems to have a typo -" Concert Art" should be "Concept Art", no?

[@strafefox]

Thanks for pointing it out, I'll double check in my original file if I've corrected the mistake in case I want to re publish the video in the future.

[@kaio0777]

Ah my favorite channel is back at it again

[@strafefox]

Awesome! :) And thanks! Btw: Part 3 will ready within a month

[@Koops2245]

Wowee, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood artwork~!! ...I've never heard of that "Monster World IV" game before though, looks pretty, thanks-!!

[@strafefox]

Monster World IV is certainly worth a try! It's a 2d action adventure game and part of the Wonderboy series.

[@Koops2245]

I gotta see this, thanks~

[@thebungisound810]

Beautiful video, this makes me happy of seeing this pieces of art being made by humans and what we can do as race creatively... this video is inspirational too, helps me to keep improving in my art after seeing all this pieces of japanese artists Thanks for the video!

[@akalyx]

this was so great

[@bartek.szuster]

Awesome work! I wish there were small title of presented game on the screen (or list of them in the description).

[@strafefox]

good call! I will add a list to the description later!

[@DenLeonRX]

Thanks for a chills!

[@gendgisevenblades2148]

Amazing

[@Progearspec]

Nice selection of art work beside some concept art.By the way the song ? Sounds like some thing you hear in the new wave retro channel.

[@strafefox]

Robert Parker - '85 Again (feat. Miss K) - VHS Glitch Remix And yeah I discovered it on New Retrowave :)

[@RUdigitized]

80's synthwave to 90's games is kind of wierd.

[@strafefox]

Oh the music is me having a bit fun. Sometimes it's completely out of context (used everything from G1 Transformers, Lou Rawls to Kim Wilde, Cyndi Lauper and even Samantha Fox haha) but I make sure that it still fits the mood. And my 3 part making-off series covers the late 80s to early 90s so it wasn't too far of ;)

[@Tito-xl2zn]

2:20 ¿Can someone tell me the name of the artist of the Gradius box art? I don´t know why I can´t find it

[@qhai1849]

incredible animation footage for `Secret of Mana`, did you make it??

[@strafefox]

Thanks! Yes I made that for an older episode and 'remastered' it for my Making of Secret of Mana vid last year.

[@johannes417]

Great.👍👍 Where did you get all the drawings from? 😮😮

[@strafefox]

Thanks! I've been collecting concept art and design docs for the past 10 years. They come from a variety of sources; for example old gaming magazines like Mean Machines SEGA, books like Mega-Drive collected works and Twitter feeds/blogs from original developers.

[@johannes417]

Absolutely astonishing your work. Thank you for your quick reply

[@jeffersonrhoads]

Está sem legenda em pt Br

[@rooneye]

2:32 hahahaha it's so fucking bad! 🤣

[@benjoe1993]

3:19 what is that game?

[@strafefox]

Comix Zone for the sega Mega-Drive/Genesis

[@scarvello]

Key word “were” 😅
