Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai has started a new YouTube channel called “Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games.” Check out the latest batch of uploaded content via the embedded video below:
Menus Define Your World [UI]
To immerse players in a game, we design detailed characters, scrutinize the backgrounds, create appropriate lighting and effects… It’s a lot of work. Before digging in on all that, think about how your UI design can reflect your game’s world!
Canceled Games [Grab Bag]
Plenty of games release to great fanfare, but so many others are canceled before they’re ever even announced. Making games can actually be pretty tough.
Don’t Rely on a “Plan B” [Work Ethic]
I sometimes see proposals that hedge their bets, suggesting both a Plan A and a Plan B for accomplishing their goals.
This should be avoided at all costs. Stick to the one plan you think is best!
