Sakurai Creates Gamedev YouTube Channel
One of the Brightest Minds in Gaming Shares Tips and Tricks
Saying goodbye to sharing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate screenshots on Twitter, Masahiro Sakurai has revealed that he has created a new YouTube channel that focuses on teaching game development techniques. We will likely see a broad range of topics covered from animation principles to character mechanics design. The channel is subtitled and oozes the slick design we’ve seen for years in Nintendo Direct presentations.
Three videos are available now: an introduction to the channel, a brief history of Sakurai’s work, and one on selling big moments through stopped frames. Sakurai’s humble goal for the channel “Make Games More Fun” is just the mindset one would expect from the creator of Kirby.
Game design history and tips are things we get less often from Nintendo than from most active development companies. This makes the creation of “Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games” is an exciting moment for those in the industry, potential developers, and anyone curious about what goes into the design choices behind Sakurai and the teams he has worked with over the years.
Sakurai has asked on Twitter that people subscribe to the channel which can be found in full here.
