Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games

The final Category Compilation video is now live.

Now that they're all out, I'm planning to adjust the display order a bit.

This may be a wrap on Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games, but I have a feeling we'll be seeing each other again at some point... Probably!

Until then!

While I still have a number of category compilation videos to post, the main portion of the work on this channel has successfully come to a close.

We recently held a wrap party to celebrate, where I received:

- A Christmas tree decorated in frosted cookies based on artwork from my videos! (from the translation team at 8-4)
- A custom-made Fukurashi acrylic stand set! (from the video team at Hike)

I'm so glad we managed to see it through to the end, and with satisfying results.

To everyone who worked on the channel, as well as everyone out there who watched the videos: thank you so much!!

Look forward to the YouTube Premiere special finale of Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games this coming Tuesday, October 22nd at 20:00 Japan time! (11:00 GMT) It'll run a bit over 40 minutes.



It might be a bit difficult for my international viewers to tune in at that time, but everyone is welcome. And for those who can't make it, it'll be available to view afterwards on my channel as well.
I hope to see you there!

As mentioned previously, I'll be wrapping up production of new episodes for my YouTube channel soon.
Right now, it's looking like the last scheduled episode will release on Tuesday, October 15th.

However, I'm also working on a special finale episode to come afterward, so please stay tuned for more details!

Today marks the two-year anniversary of my YouTube channel!
Time certainly does fly, but I’m glad I was able to keep making these videos for you all. Thank you for watching!



At this point, I’ve released over 240 videos. I prepared a special episode, “Development Secrets of the Original Kirby” to celebrate the 100th video, but I forgot to do the same for the 200th...



I’m planning to wrap up new episodes at some point this year—I’ll make an announcement once the date’s been set.

With the exception of filming, I covered all the costs for our portion of the crossover with Retro Game Master. Studio fees, editing fees, translation fees, two copies of each game, and so forth...

With no monetization, and not even a promotional goal, my wallet certainly felt the impact, but let's see how far it takes us!
