Hey, I'm Zach! šŸ’™šŸ’œ

I am a game developer and mentor, and try to use video games to benefit the lives of others. With my UI Spy series, I analyze the User Interface (UI) Design of video games. Not interested in UI? Don't worry, I've got you covered! I also post Retrospectives, Game Development Projects, and Commentary Videos discussing latest news topics which interest me. I am also an advocate for proper preservation of video games and their history. šŸ“š

My Favorite Video Game Series are Mario, Persona, and Super Smash Bros! šŸŽ­

Hey everyone, apologies for the delay but the Mario Maker video is DONE! With all the negativity in the gaming industry, I wanted to put this out there to show how gaming can still teach and inspire for the greater good. If you enjoyed the video, please consider sharing it with a friend! Any word of mouth helps! 🄳

The TooManyGames vlog is nearing completion! Apologies for the delay, it’s been VERY busy these past couple of weeks. I hope the wait will be worth it; it’s gonna be at least an hour long, if not an hour and a half. Here’s the completed thumbnail! 🄳

Yes, I heard the news about Mario Kart Tour getting shut down. Yes, I heard about the 3,200+ layoffs from Microsoft. I need to make another video related to the future of the gaming industry, but I don’t know which angle to take it. I want to make it evergreen so people can look back on it years from now , but I also want to offer my own perspective. I can’t waste time by saying the same thing millions of other people have been saying the last few weeks.

That’s why I’m going to be pivoting towards making a short video discussing a positive experience I’ve had with video games last week: education.

I used Mario Maker to teach level design to a class, and we worked together to produce a level! A brief video about it will be coming out by week’s end!

I thought this would happen in the MID-2030s, NOT before the decade’s end!!! 😭😭😭 Stay tuned for a discussion on the future of physical media with Matthew Smart, premiering on his channel later this month.

Physical games may be ending sooner than I expected. GTA VI is NOT getting a disk, but will be a ā€œcode-in-boxā€ title. 😭

Another bump for my ā€œshort filmā€ I made earlier this month, discussing not just about Game-Key Cards, but the decline of physical media in general. I’ve been brewing ideas for a sequel, but if you want to see that happen, PLEASE share this and give the video some love! šŸ‘šŸ‘
