we love our darren korbs

I LOVE YOU DARREN KORB ‼️‼️

DARREN THE GOAT!!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾

The way he walked into the frame, I almost expected a studio audience clap, like a guest actor in a sitcom

The B0$$

Same bro... was my 2nd game after Hades

We all need a sword boyfriend sometimes, I understand

@@Seb_No.13 Check out Bastion if you haven't already. You can see how that game became the basis of Supergiant's style of game creation.

Voiced by LOGAN?! I'd never have even come close to guessing, the voice of Hades vs Transistor are milenia apart wtf

@@NickHunter Yup he's always been their narrator! For having such a signature sound to his voice, he's so diverse in his roles. Iirc he does Zeus as well in Hades which was kinda mind blowing, just like finding out that Darren did all the music, voice direction/recording, PLUS voicing Zagreus AND Skelly?!?!? LIKE HOW THOUGH?!

Hi! Do you happen to know if the cookbook has other copies available for purchase? I'd love to try making some of the recipes 😃

I WILL BUY A COOKBOOK, GIMMIE

How am I just knowing this existed!?!?!?

It's like they caught 5 lightning in a jar at once. Jen Zee, Darren Korb, Logan Cunningham, Ashley Barrett, and Greg Kasavin.

​@@araisikewai exactly!!! it's so impressive

@@araisikewai And Amelia Tyler (Hecate) - the narrator from Baldur's Gate 3. + the guest singers for the 2 Siren songs. Obviously those are contractors, but they have collected crazy talented bunch for this game as always

Is there anyway to get our hands on a digital copy? I didn't know it existed until this video!

I agree it's great I just wonder how they justify the office space sometimes. I imagine costs are crazy high.

Unfortunately it's not sustainable so long in terms of office space rent and human collaboration in a physical space is needed for brainstorming ideas

It seems like they have a lot of office space they aren't using tho. I get having team members across the state. Not saying 24/7 at home but still

I am not sure if it changed after covid, but before that, they had 4 work days in office and 1 day of home office. I think its matter of preference. Some people like working from home and some prefer to have separated their work space and recreation space. For example me, I cant have those 2 togather and even though I dont work office job, I was in school during covid and this setting really didnt work for me

I work in company where we had to cancel the work from home policy because ONE fucking eggnugget fucked it for everyone else

They also documented the making of their first game - Bastion - on Giant Bomb. It's a great watch.

Most programmers are remote these days

Thanks for watching! - Alex

Oh damn, that sucks man

That's why he keeps them at his house now >:P

@@LordDragox412 As I recall the incident was documented with noclip documentary. Thankfully the thief didn't take the PC. Or if they did, their work was cloud saved. Darren do have personal studio at his home where he records during Covid. And it's logical to keep them there where he might need them.

yes

@@gameinformer his reviews were awesome. Used to watch him back in Highschool.

Yes! Greg isn't the only Gamespot alum who's made a career writing award winning games, either! Kevin VanOrd went to Larian after being inspired by Divinity: Original Sin. He ended up writing some on the sequel, and was Lae'zel's primary writer in Baldur's Gate 3.

​@@BucklingSwashes Oh wow! Lae'zel's arc is probably my favourite, so this is very cool

he's really diligent going through their socials, like on twitter and steam forums and stuff.

​@@Kaikirith i mean that's part of game dev so yeah

He was the EIC at Gamespot a long time ago. The guy made a living writing reviews. He knows that they can be valuable resource to better you game (at least sometimes).

I want an ARPG from them Diablo 2 style.

Probably 2 more surface areas at the least.

If you want some estimates, this is (off the top of my head) what the Hades1 Early Access Steam Launch didn't have yet, that was added either during EA or at 1.0.: >Demeter (+ Boons) >Fishing >Hades 3rd Phase Heat Option >anything to do with Persephone and the 10runs you need to complete to see the credits >some Mirror Upgrades >the Gun Weapon >Duo Boons (i think) >post credits storylines for each character >Charons Optional Boss Fight >more Customization Options >some Weapons Aspects >Achievements >MANY bug fixes and balances changes that should give you an idea of how much there still was to see back in the original Hades, and I'm assuming it will be a comparable amount of new stuff for Hades 2 as well.

@@PKMono Way more than that iirc, wasn't Elysium not in the initial EA release?

@Bruno-cb5gk It was in the Steam Early Access Release that came 1 year after the Epic Games Early Access. And they said that the current Hades2 Build is closer to how complete Hades1 was at the Steam release. Also I remembered, different boss variations also got added later.

Hades 2 still doesn't have Secret Aspects, at least 1 more surface floor (probably 2?), rewards for maxing out relationships (since you can't yet!), Extreme Measures versions of bosses, Hard mode from fresh file, 1 more weapon they're already working on, decoration options for The Crossroads... not to mention all the story, game balance, and whatever other gods or boons they're planning to include. And that's all the stuff that either was in the original or is already explicitly in development. Only the Gods know what they're cooking in secret for way down the line.

With Supergiant Games, always put their KZfaq channel to your playlist. They released their full OST there. I'd still purchase their OST either way.

I heard Skelly instead lmao

@@Mauricio0973💀

Yes! We had a long chat about the movie in between interviews - Marcus

This was filmed during the technical test. I’m guessing they were reading poor feedback to inform performance fixes

Everything from Supergiant has been of the top notch quality. And you should check out their youtube channel for their OST. Darren Korb's work on their OST is some of the very best in game industry, and they release all of them for free in the channel. I still end up getting OST for all their game even though I can enjoy them for free.

I've only played the Hades series, but I can assure you what I've seen and heard their entire catalogue is top quality. If you can only pick one though, I would choose one of the Hades games. The new one even in early access feels like a complete game, especially if you compare it to the normal releases we get nowadays in the industry. Aside from the extremely satisfying gameplay, the storytelling, art direction, and game music are just some of the best I've ever experienced. Of course, as I mentioned, I think their entire catalogue is the same way (I just don't have first hand experience)

Their entire library is amazing in terms of gameplay, story and art direction tbh. They're all truly worth playing

You know it's possible to praise things you like without putting other things down?

@@stanislavzoldak2198 calm down bro, whom i put down, i just said they are making games with love. If you offended by it go touch grass

@@cerberusa137 You said they are the only ones making games with love, which is blatantly untrue (as much as I love those studios). Thanks for the recommendation, though I do touch grass daily. :)

@@stanislavzoldak2198 you don't sound like you do.

​@@stanislavzoldak2198 do they make games with love? Yes. You come nit picking my opinion just to get offended out of nowhere. I didn't write: Damn *company name* is not making games like them. I mention SG and Larian because i play their games. I don't care about other companies. And where is not true in those words? They are one of most praised companies lately in game industry. Jeez bro 🤦‍♀

Some of it is likely unfinished because the game is in early access though

The art is exceptional... I'm not sure what exactly you're seeing that isn't up to your standards. There is still several placeholders however, just like is clearly stated in the launch screen when you boot up the game.

@@KingJerbear Not OP, but the only art I could even imagine they're referring to are the placeholders, and some of the gods. Something about Artemis's portrait seems unfinished and another character (who I won't mention due to spoilers) is clearly a messy sketch at the moment. It's still not a fair judgement because the game is in early early access. 🤷‍♀️
