How is this even on KZfaq? This is big budget documentary quality. Please keep making stuff like this, this entire series was awesome! And if you can, support them on Patreon!

I've watched the whole Brazil series so far and as a Brazilian developer I have to say. No one ever came close to capture the our gaming culture like you did. Not only that, but to be able to show the world that we are more than Samba, Caipirinhas and all the other labels we have out there. Awesome job.!!!

This isn't the first time I've heard Brazilians say that Brazilians are apprehensive in perceiving Brazil products as quality. There's a studio called Reiza and they making a PC racing simulator called Automoblista. I love that game. But my Brazilian friends I've talked to, they say the game isn't particularly popular in their country. People assume that since it's Brazilian, it's inferior to products from other countries. That's sad. But if that attitude is shifting, then that's good for everyone involved. I have faith that there's a lot of very talented people in that country and I sincerely hope that their fellow countrymen have faith in their emerging industry.

I work at Fira Soft, in Brasília, another game company. And the struggle, as show in the video, is real. We need to give 200% of ourselves to do a game in Brazil.

I've read a lot of people in the comments who blame Brazilians for the gaming situation in Brazil. They're not quite right. It's important to say that everyone is heavily harmed by the government here. Both creators and consumers are affected by heavy bureaucracy and taxation, which raises development costs and, therefore, the final products' prices. Considering that Brazil is a poor country, and most people don't even live with the minimum wage (R$954,00, or US$295 as of Jan/2018), it's obvious that paying for a game isn't always a possibility. As mentioned, services such as Steam have helped a lot, but we still have a long way to go.

I would like to add a favorite brazilian creator of mine: Danilo Dias, from _JoyMasher_ - _Oniken,_ _Odallus_ and upcoming _Blazing Chrome._ I would also like to mention other creators like Felipe Falanghe, director of _Kerbal Space Program,_ SGtMarkIV, maker of _Brutal Doom,_ and another dozen brazilian _RPGMaker_ game designers whose obsession with the engine produced games that completely overpowered my tech-obsolete life growing up.

Kinda teared up watching this. Great video! Proud to be a brazilian right now.

Legendas em português! Correction: Papo & Yo, while set in Brazil, is based on creator Vander Caballero's childhood in Colombia, and was developed by Montreal-based studio Minority Media Inc.

Great series! That girl telling it like it. She's awesome. I love her energy and you can clearly see she's very passionate about what she does and what she believes. I can't emphasize enough how great this was. Good freaking job, guys. The only awkward bit was with that guy who barely spoke English. If it was hard for him, you should've told him to speak in his native language and subtitle it in English. But it's fine. Pretty sure most of what he said is perfectly understandable.

I'm a brazilian game developer and I can say that this video made justice to us. Yes, there is great games made by brazilians, even in other countries (for example Surgeon Simulator was made by a brazilian couple living in London). Great job, looking forward to see more videos in other countries.

Great as always, good job. Nice to see our game dev scene portrayed in a documentary.

Fascinating look at the Brazilian video game developer scene!

Hey, Drew! I'm Arthur, narrative director for Sword Legacy: Omen. Just stopping by to thank you for getting to know the Brazilian indie scene. As you noticed, spoken not only by my partner, Bruno, but all the other game devs, we struggle to thrive. Still, we've got amazing games which reveal huge potential that's gradually evolving and garnering more visibility. As reference, in 2011 I wrote about game banning in Brazil and things were much worse then (www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/134878/the_battle_for_brazils_game_future.php). So, yes, our quests continue - ours and yours - as we all tread our own paths in this huge cloth map! Congrats on the amazing and mature work. Keep fighting the good fight and may it continue for years to come. Cheers :)

Beautiful work, Cloth Map! Thank you so much for doing this. Much love from Brazil!

I just can't stop clapping this video 'cause him show an side of Brazil that too many people don't know. But the main reason of the brazilian don't know well our own gaming market is because of our own culture. Here, our own culture that is truly apreciated is the soccer, carnival, and our music, like samba, pagode, axé, sertanejo, and some others things (speaking in a generic form, of course), but that's not the problem. There's nothing wrong in one country apreciate your own culture, but recently, the quality of the brazilian popular things has been decaying in a way that a great parcel of the population have eyes only for the 'great' american culture, like triple A games, big Hollywood productions and the popular musics of the USA, like rap, hip-hop and pop. And there's nothing wrong in apreciate other country culture too, but adding the fact of the decaying and devaluation of our own culture and the overvaluation of the american culture ends up overshadowing good things on our culture and in other foreign cultures too. For example, we have everything that was said in the documentary about the preconception and unpopularity of the brazilian indie gaming market (and other brazilian things too). But for the other cultures, we have for example the japanese culture. Indeed have many people that aprecciate the japanese culture, but too many others still have a preconception with this, like animes, in a generic example. For many and many people, animes are seen like children's cartoon or just odd or even stupid, and there's the bad thing. And besides of the already cited decaying and devaluation of our culture, the overvaluation of the american culture and the preconception of our culture and the other foreign cultures, we have our policy that just discourage and prejudice the micro and small entrepreneur. Politics that only makes abusive taxes and a huge bureaucracy for the entrepreneur, especially if it is from the gaming market. But besides all this problems and barriers, I still have hope that one day the brazilian gaming market (and the Brazil as a whole) be great and strong, so that I can be proud even more than I'm proud.

I have just found your channel and I am enjoying watching your videos so much. Thanks for bringing Brazil's perspective on this issue.

Great job! Congrats from Brazil!

Just binge watched the whole channel and immediately pleged you on Patreon. Your content is sooo awesome!

Man, this video was awesome. Keep up the amazing work. I'm loving the series so far

wonderfull work cloth map, you are collecting information into a huge register of video games history that we can use across the time

I just notice he's that guy from the meme "the white guy that blinks", that's amazing xD

Great series dude! I was totally hooked from the first episode and can’t wait for more!

Incredible job, Drew and crew! Keep it up!

This channel is beyond fantastic. Keep doing you man! You'll ride this baby to the top

Great vid. I can't wait for Drew to inevitably go to Ireland and road trip with Danny. :D

Nothing but love for Cloth Map. Keep up the great work fam.

Great video Drew! Can't wait for more :)

Thank you, Drew. Your content is amazing!

Love it! Amazing series guys

Such a great documentary, we can see the reality here in Brazil; awesome job, congrats.

Thanks for this. I didn't know the game development scene was growing like that around here. Your last commentary was killer, so fucking true.

Brazil is full of talented people, but there's a lack of communities, those people have a hard time finding each other. The same thing happens in the music industry, great bands were only formed because talented members happened to be in the same place at the same time. Watching this video it looks like things are changing for better.

Just got caught up on these. Good work as always!

Dude, awesome! Awesome! Thanks!

Amazing job man!

The sad thing is that in Brazil people are not really willing to pay for games. Piracy is very common thing here and some free to play games are the ones who has major success. If someone is willing to pay for a game, they will propably choose for a huge blockbuster that will "guarantee" quality and fun time playing.

Damn! These videos are amazing

11:05 GAVETAAAA

hey it's that guy from the meme

Best video on KZfaq. Thanks!!!

That game with the gargoyle like castlevania looked awesome!

Amazing video, Drew! I have some friends here in Brazil who are game developers, they have a really cool studio called Gilp Studio, in the countryside. If anyone wants to know their games, check their website: gilp.studio

nice pillow

i dont even knew that games like these were being developed here in my own country, k Steam is something, but really surprising that our culture and people doesnt support this kind of market

Suits of Fate is legit.

Hello am from east africa i program libgdx frame work games and sell them on flippa i would love to meet some of these game developers and work together now that am coming to brazil

Drew, go to China or India Next Time!!

#Satella

O problema é que os caras fazem jogos pra eles e não para o mercado

Drew, Brazil loves memes, if we could choose something to represent us, it would be memes, so I hope that you haven't been uncomfortable with our big interest in your viral meme hahahah

Aqui no Brasil a Pirataria corre solta.

i don't want to offend anyone,but you should have gone to the South part of Brazil,Parana,Santa Catarina or even Rio Grande do Sul it's so pretty and green there (and it has many,MANY indie game industries,Riot games is in parana,and MANY gaming shops)

Brazilian developers should not aim at the Brazilian market, most Brazilians do not buy games, play for free or pirate stuff
