Hi Huggbees, professional game dev and indie studio owner here! As such, I can 100% say that behind the scenes we do have machines for both rinsing and filling games. It takes alot of work to make said games but man does it pay off. Paying the team is good too I guess.
"Ctrl H is the hotkey to call the company's sudicide prevention hotline." If I ever become a story board artist I know what hot key I will be using for the rest of my life starting with day 1.
“They plan out a schedule so the game will be about 60% finished when its launch date arrives” Hearing this felt like a punch in the gut because I’ve been put through this shit too many times in my life already.
Yeah, pretty much these days. If you aren't Nintendo or indie based, it's easily 60%, at least. Maybe even lower, depending on the kind of game, like EA's Battlefield 2042.
Never in a million years would i have thought Civvie would show up in one of these. He's really moving up in the world, in a few years he'll be able to buy his way out of that government holding facility.
honestly, he made me laugh as i at first was thinking hes talking about the stuff that actualy is in the Prince of Persia game, then he said baptism and i realised hes just doing impression of Konami when talking to Hideo Kojima
By far one of my favorite “How it’s actually made” episodes I’ve ever watched before in my life! The ending is extremely hilarious! I couldn’t stop laughing for minutes! Hopefully you will make Hard candies soon. I have been waiting for this episode to come ever since I started watching your stuff. You are hilarious man! You always make my day whenever I feel down, or pissed off.
Holy shit Civvie 11 was secretly an EA exec this whole time, I knew he had to do something bad to get locked up like that but this is crime is unforgivable.
"I will have them QA-ing for me until the fucking sun burns out" is extremely funny considering how hyped up being a video game tester and QA has been in the past. Remember when game shows existed where the prize was to be a triple a game tester?
As a game developer, I can confirm glitches do occasionally leak into the real world. Having a rinsing machine on standby is important to stop them taking over
That was actually super cool! Prince of Persia Sands of Time is one of my favorite games! Seeing a bit of how it was made is super cool! It's too bad about that real life glitch tho :/
I put the HIAM playlist on, fell asleep, then stirred during the rant at the end, which was incorporated into my dream. It was a GTA radio commercial or something. Thanks Hugg.
I've always wanted to be a game developer. Thanks for giving me this indepth look into the job with an easy to understand explanation in simple English.
I remember seeing this episode live when it came out in like 2003. I found this episode very questionable even back then, when I had no idea how video games were made. Your commentary was great
"Being quirky at night" reminds me of those uncovered nude models or lewd features within games that the devs made to "blow off steam" or an inside joke.
The Sands of Time is tied with two other games for my favorite of all time. The Arabian Nights aestetic, storytelling, even the graphics--this is the most beautiful game ever made.
Man, watching videos from people like Jim Sterling and YongYea covering companies through their behind the scenes business and whatnot really makes this video hit a lot harder than one would think here...
4:27 this episode really hits hard nowadays when you realize that the behind the scenes "joke" wasn't really a joke, but a heavily censored version of an actual look behind the scenes. Regardless, The video was great as always, but was likely (and sadly) the most accurate one yet...
3:58 This is completely normal. As a licensed gamer myself, I too will routinely challenge people on the internet to a plastic sword duel if they offend my honor or waifus.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was a pretty fun game on PS2 It's been so long I forgot it existed, I think it bugged for me and I gave up on it or something, it had an interesting gameplay feature though, you guessed it, TIME
My favorite feature of the ps2. Never got past the first few levels in call of duty big red one because it would always bug out in the same way. Good times.
Everytime my son asks me how something is made, I check to see if Huggbees has a video and make him watch that one first. Please never stop making these videos
It's kind of wild how much video games evolve though... Like years ago we had simple game like pong and arcade games and stuff and then Mario and Zelda type stuff and now we can strap a device on our heads and be in the games along with some of the games we have are so incredible.
Same with every tech that exist between 90's to 20's tbh, in 1900 flying with wings like the birds was a fool's dream, 60 years later we sent a man into space above the sky.
Wow thanks so much for this video! I really needed the help since i myself am making a video game so seeing the progress with you explaining will surely set me up for success!
The video game being made in the video is "The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" and no I didn't look this up it just so happens to be the first game I ever owned on my own personal console. I think the first game I ever played was "Mario Cart 64", not 100% sure. Edit: Didn't watch the whole video yet and it made very clear what the game was lul
This is one of the earliest how it’s made episodes I’ve seen. I was actually looking for it because for some reason at the time I thought Pong was Prince of Persia because of it
4:24 can anyone tell me what programming language that is? There's c-like syntax, but no semicolons, and "func void." I originally thought it was C# but that requires semicolons, and I don't think C# existed/was common in 2000 (this appears to be Prince of Persia Sands of Time, and the computers are running Windows 2000). Edit: Ok so I found a manual on JADE and the syntax there is wildly different from what we see on here. It's definitely not that.
