What Games Inspired Game Devs To Become Developers? Creators Insight

[@AStartShow]

Fascinating insight. It's always nice to know that a strong part of the creative process is drawing upon past experiences and what you carry into your own projects. Nothing is completely original, but its how you spin it that makes these classic ideas.

[@Ah2o5b]

Loved how shovel knight developer mentioned every game on the nes library but forgot to mention duck tales.

[@RobotacularRoBob]

Didn’t wanna incur the wrath of the mouse.

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

Disney payed him to not mention Ducktales.

[@orangeslash1667]

@@ShockwaveFPSStudios Maybe he didn't play Ducktales, but would know about it later???

[@Ahmad-z3o3z]

​Bs shovel knight pogo jump his main and only unique move is directly taken from duck tales 2 if you played both you could tell and while zelda 2 had pogo jump(kinda) it can only be used on some enemies and wasn't used for platforming so other than the knight enemy and the town npc zelda 2 had little to no influence. ​@@orangeslash1667

Enjoying the video so far. Quick feedback: will be good to have the names of the developers written on screen at least for the first 10/20 seconds

[@evanmarcus5975]

This is a really cool video concept for your channel! As a current CS student facing a lot of these decisions, this was very reassuring.

"Back in the early 2010's" Ok so now I feel like I'm 100 years old

[@jKherty]

Imagine hearing stuff like "2000s or early 1980s" We're getting old

[@J00Canu]

I'm just starting my game design journey. This really just helped to solidify my choice. Thanks!

[@jennyholiday88]

when i first played super smash flash and realized i could make my own smash bros, i immediately got a copy of game maker 8 and started learning it. still boot it up every now and then.

[@BasVoet]

Really nice video. Great that you got all these people to take the time to record their answers!

[@garfreeek]

This is amazing Shezes! Definitely in awe by the people you got!

[@juza64]

This is a nice interview, I hope we get more content like this.

[@nomisupernova]

Good stuff, I'm enjoying the wider variety of content circulating on the channel lately! It's great to see your horizons broaden but not lose the focus on gaming. :)

[@DropsOfMars]

Hey I saw what you did at 11:26, don't think I didn't notice!! Amazing video, I love hearing from the people behind games themselves, what drives and inspires them is always fascinating.

[@hpalpha7323]

one of the things that inspired me when I was a kid was the "making of" video that came with Myst. They talk about making the backgrounds, sound effects, designing puzzles and recording the FMV scenes and I thought it looked so easy

[@trorisk]

We don't talk about it enough but the old NES, SNES and MegaDrive games had very good level design. Super Mario Bros lvl1-1 level design is a masterclass. The game slowly brings you into contact with the elements you will encounter. And it makes you want to try things.

[@safebox36]

Oddly it wasn't a game that inspired me to get into game dev, it was a Pokemon KZbin romhack series by ShadowElliot and Tamashi Hiroka (yes, that one). Both series have since disappeared but it made me fascinated with people editing existing works to create something new and then eventually making your own from scratch (or at least, fewer resources than an existing game provided).

[@Nocsha217]

I might be a bit different than most people but I'm into board game design, I took a step back from video game design (where my initial inspiration was pokemon/pokemon tcg on pc) but I played a video game called cardhunter that I NEEDED to share with everyone so I made a physical copy so my family and friends could play with me without having to pay for/grind for a decent character setup

[@Denter86]

That's awesome! Board game designers need a lot more attention, I hope it goes well for you.

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

Kyle Pittman’s enthusiasm & values is what I i think Borderlands 2’s big hub areas work.

[@aphetcha]

I really needed a video like this in my life currently. I want to pivot careers and my dream job would be in the gaming industry, but it's always just been a dream. Thank you for doing what you do Shesez! Can't wait to see more vids like this

[@Gabrielnfs]

Metroid Dread inspired me to make games that have the equivalent of Jaffe Room to get journalists and thick gamers to lose their minds playing Thank you Metroid Dread and David Jaffe for the inspiration

[@ArcRay20]

was not expecting David Jaffe.

[@melancholoid]

Awesome Vid! Thank You very much for Your Work! Greetings from Germany

[@Solibrae]

Interesting, it's always nice to hear more about the people behind the video games we've enjoyed.

[@MicronOnline]

Very cool to see so many different Inspirations for such Iconic games

[@guhrizzlybaire]

Wow I just adore the senior programmer for borderlands Kyle, I love his enthusiasm and would love to listen to him talk about anything else he loves.

[@silentbillkelly7276]

digging the interviews!

[@DEADEYESTUDIO]

the games that inspired me the most are arkham city and the deus ex games, and metro exodus too. i wouldnt even be into videogames if it wasnt for arkham city. i know i could never hope to make a game that good, but i still very much wanna make a good stealth game

[@halfhero]

Great video, thanks!

[@Andr3wTime]

These interviews need to be edited to the audio of Giorgio by Moroder

[@fenicmo5462]

Me seeing the thumbnail: Huh, I didn’t know Scott The Woz’s dad was a game developer

[@mischiefmotorsgame]

Jaffe and a few others in the business got me interested in making my own game. I miss the old days where gaming felt simpler. I know its probably nostalgia talking but I want to make games like they don't make anymore. From genres that are almost obsolete, like Twisted Metal.

[@Finalblue1234]

I know the developer for Blood Crisis is being super inspired by Kingdom Hearts. Honestly can't wait for that game to come out!

[@saulogpimentel]

[@mirabilis]

No game? I was inspired by the demo scene mostly. And software synths.

As someone who has always dreamed of becoming a game developer (and is trying to learn how to become one), this sounds like a great series idea. I'm very excited about it. ❤
