Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games

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!

In total, we're looking at about 7 hours worth of game design lectures from a game industry veteran. That's the kind of thing you'd normally get as part of a course.

Man, a fleeting momento this channel was. As quickly as it started, it ended. But it will stay as a beam for future generations at least.

@Tenmar.

That is one thing I can appreciate. Always knowing when a series is done and to end it and move on. You and your team have made great videos about the industry that I have enjoyed watching. Thank you.

Upon hearing that this project would be ending this year back in January, I worried that the last upload was near. but here we are in October, and I'm glad my worries were proven wrong. these videos have been a constant companion, and the Grab Bags in particular always brought a smile to my face. this will be an impressive archive for future devs and devs-to-be.

Each episode is an invaluable gem. Something that'll teach future game devs and even game masters on how to design games that are crafted with the techniques perfected by a master in the industry. Thank you for everything, Sakurai-san 🙇‍♂

Your channel gave insight and advice, not only for the game industry, but for administration, team management, and product pitch and presentation. I've learned so much, and the "Grab Bag" videos were great, to get to know you on a little bit more personal level. Also, I found the "Game Concepts" videos extremely interesting, as you've made some of my favorite games of all time. This was an excellent run, Sakurai San, can't wait for the final episode!
