Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games

[Spike]

This guy is a genius. He created Kirby, designed Super Smash Bros, and so much more. Then, out of nowhere, he decides to start a YouTube channel to freely share tons of valuable tips on becoming a great game developer. This content is priceless. It’s like Mozart coming to your house to teach you how to compose music.
I'm sure most people already know about his channel, but I still think he deserves a shout-out here.

His Youtube channel is a master class of game design and management.

Educational and straight to the point. Really helpful information too!

It's incredible how much he can cram into videos that are sometimes under 4 minutes long. I am exhausted by long game analysis where the speaker is repeating themselves over and over for 1-3 hours, and Sakurai's efficiency is a breath of fresh air.

Seems like he's stopping. It's understandable he put so much work into it.

This is very good, thank you for sharing! I'll give them a go later. I wonder if this is inspired by a series of things. The joy of learning, the gift of charity, and perhaps just a passing of the torch. Either way, this sounds like invaluable knowledge so it'll be a nice little sit down and bite off the pieces type experience.
