I Tried Making a Retro Game from Scratch.

[@ArloPedersen]

This video was a ton of fun to make, I think it's one of my better ones so hoping it picks up a bit more than usual but I guess we'll see! Also by the way if you want to get yourself one of the handheld gameboy devices I have they're available for pre-order here: modretro.com?sca_ref=7009835.Z9L3f6GMUt7Vy5E&

[@Tigheoco]

Your editing is seriously next level. You have a real talent for this.

[@DeshanNaidoo]

I agree. Sick creation.

My guy has a tree house 😂😂😂 soo dope 😂😂

[@LucasVogel]

I'm 31, I went to film school, I've been working in marketing for the past 4-5 years in Content Management, Copywriting and Creation, and I gotta say man, you really do have a talent (or at least it shows like that, it could've been hard work), for storytelling, editing and even shooting. I'm just starting my game dev/designer journey on a personal project and this inspired me. Can't wait to see how you keep evolving your channel and skills!

[@LucasVogel]

gotta add, careful with doxxing yourself, just something to keep in mind

[@ArloPedersen]

Did I leak something?

[@LucasVogel]

@@ArloPedersen drone shots of your house are pretty easy to search for any guy that knows and wants to doxx

[@Im_the_Trashman_]

U are extremely talented man. Please don’t stop creating. Your content is so good and diverse you deserve a lot more subscribers dude.

[@WiltshireTutorials]

Very well thought out video. The camera work and the pacing is perfect. Love it! Looking forward to your next videos.

[@ArloPedersen]

Thanks!

[@Askingalexwtf]

The editing is really on point enhancing the visuals, really cool

[@torio2k188]

This is... Probably the highest quality video I've ever seen on KZbin. Just congrats man! Got my sub

[@kirkanos3968]

Nice work great video as everyone said. FYI still many people that make banger retro games and pinball cabs. Can't wait to see what you turn out.

[@JimmyGotDishes]

Amazing story telling. Love it!

[@PIXELPORTABLE]

Great editing and nice storytelling. The fact you climbed a tree and had a drone establishing shot flyby, just for an interview bit, was fun and interesting. As a portable gaming enthusiast (and a retro game fan), I just wanted to let you know that this video slaps and I love to see younger people enjoying a big part of my childhood as much as I did.

Thank you!

[@theforgottenmovies3265]

2018 I sold a lot of my vintage consoles and vintage games. But I have my Nintendo 64 with games, some Gameboy games and many PSX games left. After that it is newer consoles and games from Gamecube to Nintendo Switch. I also have some retro consoles like NES Classic Mini, SNES Classic Mini, Sega Mega Drive Mini, PlayStation Classic and the two newest Game & Watch.

[@ToddTronics]

Love your video style man

[@okeyjay]

Video is really well done man, and great effort with the game! Lil seagul is looking great! Software looks quite fun tempted to make a mini okeyjay platformer now... aha

[@ludomaniakos]

[@ArloPedersen]

Thank you!

[@FilmscoreMetaler]

Arlo, what a banger again! Top notch camera work and editing! Can't believe how long it must've taken to put this all together, let alone scripting an entire game. :-O Don't know where you've got all your many talents from, but let me tell you, from a guy with no other qualification on this matter than having like a thousand subs, you're one of the top content creators right now. So it kinda hurts to be in the sub 100 views even after 3 hours. YT can be a real grind sometimes and I hope your sub numbers will explode soon. I've just created a patreon account to sub you there and even if I can't give much I hope many others will do the same. Keep it up, all the best to you!

[@ArloPedersen]

Wow, thank you for the comment! I appreciate it and glad you liked the video. I suspect the views will pick up in the next couple days just because of how similar the packaging and concept is to another one of my videos that did really well but who knows

[@FilmscoreMetaler]

@@ArloPedersen Yes I noticed that so let's see if the retro community is as strong as the MtG community. :)

[@harundeen4261]

Dude this is amazing work, and I gotta know.. how long did the filming and editing take in total?!

[@ArloPedersen]

Haha, worked on it over the course of like 3-5 months but not full time, so hard to say. A majority of the editing happened in the last week before I posted it

[@MacUser2-il2cx]

If you like Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, might i suggest Super Mario Land DX and Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins DX? They are full color rom hacks that update the graphics and both even have Luigi as an extra playable character.

[@NOTRIPFORTHEHIVE]

The term "Metroidvania" originated from criticism to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the original playstation, when the series adopted the Metroid-like level designs.

[@ArloPedersen]

Haha good thing I said “I think” should have looked into that further

[@yungwolfer7685]

cool vid!

[@Mantorp86]

“Nobody makes retro games anymore”…isn’t that an oxymoron? It’s the same as saying “Nobody makes classical music any more”.

[@someoneelse1534]

It’s also straight up wrong. Homebrew games development is bigger than its ever been.

[@olliepoplol5894]

What that guy said ^^^ The homebrew community is alive and well. Thriving, in fact :)

[@ArloPedersen]

Yeah what I mean is that when you think of that style of retro game, no major company like Nintendo is making them anymore, but yes super cool to see people keeping retro games alive. I just recently played a gba game called goodboy galaxy, would highly recommend.

[@olliepoplol5894]

@@ArloPedersen totally! We knew what you meant. Large companies are not really making games in that style anymore. Some indie devs are (Sea of Stars, for example) But the real “retro” stuff is in the hands of the community! People like you! It’s very cool and makes me so happy haha
