Think about the mood of your game BEFORE you make your Game Art!

I am trying to make videos a bit faster, hopefully they keep a decent standard :)

love your video and especially that you talk straight to the point ant fast :D most other videos on youtube, usually, you have to skip half of videos. p.s. if you put game names in video description, would be great, some games looks interesting :)

The capability of conveying a mood and immersing you in it is why video games are my favorite medium. It's not easy but when it's done well it's so awesome. Nothing rivals the fantasy forest mood like ori, or the dystopian unease like INSIDE. These games are incredibly consistent throughout, every aspect of the game is tailored to this mood.


Deciding which mood you're going for early may seem straightforward but i think it's harder than people think. I've played indie games that felt disconnected because they didn't have a consistent mood throughout. Great video, and very cool that you showed some itorah footage. It's not the best game ever but i think it's underrated and quite fun

Your dark style is brilliant. I do not know about others, but I like it.

This video kind of came about because I started playing Skelemania and felt that it started incredibly odd, I haven't gotten that far into the game yet, in large part because I feel like the first impressions of the game can't possibly be showcasing what the game actually has to offer. I personally feel like you can't wait 30 minutes to make your game fun, or even 10 minutes for that matter. That in itself might be a bit of a subjective opinion, but I still think plenty of games miss out on a large audience because they make trailers or the early sections of the game too dull, and that makes people miss out on all the nice things you have added later on (the stuff you have actually spent time on making fun). With that said this video is a bit similar to a previous video of mine, but I hope that's ok :/

Thanks for all the great info and tutorials, I'm feeling inspired.
I would love if you did an analysis into the art of Cult of the Lamb, I'm very curious how they pull off their unique style!

Your channel is invaluable and underrated.

Now for my unpopular takes: I think Celeste, Jump king and Shovel knight are some of the most horrid looking games ever created, and it baffles me that they are so popular. It's always so demotivating to see. Gives a feeling of "why should I put effort on my game's artwork when they do the absolute minimum and are extremely successful..."

Anyone know what the game is at 4:35? I hear "run" but that's either wrong or not a great name to help find a platformer : p
