These background development stories are an absolute delight, gives me renewed interest and respect for the games mentioned.
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying them!
Wow
Hey Tomas! Thanks for your hard work. When Art Academy was given a physical release I ended up going back to my High school to show my art teacher. (Who I knew owned a GBA, and allowed pixel art to be posted on the classroom walls.) She loved it so much, she bought several DSi's for the class to take turns on to use Art Acadamy for study halls. (She had to tape the game into the console because of course video games were not allowed, but I did hear that brain age, and few other exceptions were added later on.)
Wow, that's really interesting! I remember that Nintendo were really pushing the DS as a classroom thing back in the day. I guess they're doing something kinda similar now with Labo!

6:14 I think this is the reason why the DS is so nostalgic to me. It was the equivalent of a smartphone back then haha!
It really was!
DuBstepAnDa98 A smartphone whose, game library wasn't infested with an endless amount of ripoffs and ripoffs of ripoffs etc., but rather, a bunch of underappreciated but actual quality content.
As with last week, I'm on a bus right now, but I'll add subtitles as soon as I'm home! Sorry about that!
EDIT: Subtitles are up now!
TYSM FOR THE AMAZING VIDEO!! YOU SHOULD HAVE MUCH MORE SUBS!! THANKS FOR SHARING HAVE A GREAT DAY MAKE MORE AWESOME VIDEOS!!
I brought art academy from my latest game store for my DS lite, and its rlly fun, I also love vince as a character
I got the physical copy of Art Academy when I was little. Seeing the moustache guy on the thumbnail brought back some nice memories.
Lovely as always! I only played Pokemon Art Academy, but I remember picking it up drawn in by the fun concept but thinking the lessons would be sub-par, but I ended up really impressed at how well it not only implemented but also instructed in a lot of traditional and digital art techniques--and as a professional already knowing how to draw, I still enjoyed it tremendously and really believed that it could genuinely teach beginners in a clear and meaningful way. The series seems like such a gem.
Pokémon art academy was where i got most of my drawing skill
how is it compared to the original art academy? is the tutorial just pokemon?
Your ability to narrate these in a succint and colourful way is coming ever stronger. Kudos and keep it up!!
2:10 when you’ve been an artist for long time and somehow this noob with no experience does better than you
i want a switch art academy ;w;
That would be pretty cool, actually!
AshleyTheWitch Me too! Nintendo, PLEASE make it happen! 🙏🙏🙏
well there is one now called Colors Live. but it probably doesn't come with in built lessons
Please keep these dev stories coming, they are the best!
Heya Thomas, just came back to this video to say that, even though this one didn't have as many views as the other "how was it created" videos, I still really love it so I hope you don't delete this video any time soon!
Always been a fan of you, keep up with the amazing content! 💚
Thank you for making these, Thomas.
I'd love to see a video that goes through your research process for these videos.
Ooh, that seems a little intimidating! I was thinking I might do a sort of Q&A / behind the scenes type thing for the channel's one year anniversary next October though!
Great video! I've never played Art Academy, but I've always been intrigued by it. I've also never heard anything about the history behind it, so it's really cool to learn about that this way!
Great Video!
I'd love to get to know more about these obscure or out-of-the-ordinary games.
Keep up the good work :)
I love watching these i often listen to these videos when i draw! Your voice is extremely calming and the information is super interesting! Great video!
something like Art Academy for PC would be amazing imo, such a unique and innovative series.
It's called ms paint
I also share an affinity for strange DS games... I have Art Academy and the follow-up Disney Art Academy for 3DS, the Brain Age games and Big Brain Academy, and even Flash Focus.
Ooh, I've never heard of Flash Focus before! From a quick bit of googling, it looks super weird and interesting!
@@ThomasGameDocs :) I hadn't bought it when it came out but I've been hunting down obscure puzzle / rhythm / brain training games for DS lately and I managed to find this one complete in box for $0.79 at Gamestop a week ago!
There's also Pokemon Art Academy
I remember first downloading Art Academy: First Semester on my DSi XL back when I was in high school! And as you mentioned, they did make art lessons fun and easy to follow! I always wondered about the game not having an undo button, but it's so obvious why now! I believe I did not use it too much, as I found it too limited for the kind of art I was aiming to make, but it served as a stepping stone for me in my quest to learn to draw!
Wow, that explanation of additive and subtractive color mixing was actually really intuitive! And this is a fascinating development story, now I wanna check the game out!
I used to play this all the time! Thank you for the video :D
No problem! Glad it's a topic you enjoy!
As an artist seeing this in my feed was super exciting 😁 Great video as usual ! I really love hearing about the behind the scenes work the devs go through when making games 😆
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! (Also, I love your profile pic!)
@@ThomasGameDocs Thanks so much 😄 ! Good luck with your upcoming videos 👍
Another great video. You're really killing it my guy
Haha, thanks! Appreciate the support!
First time I saw this software was on a Nintendo booth in Brazil Game Show, and a booth babe helped me to test it. I loved the software, and I SWEAR it had nothing to do with the booth babe.
I bought it later, physically, in a end of generation sale (the 3DS was already around). I really enjoyed learning how to paint with the tools close to real life. I took a digital paint introductory class and managed to make some cool art, although very rough.
Nice to meet the "game" story, with such good presentation and music. Nice job, Thomas! Keep up the good work \o/
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video, and the game too! (whether for the booth babes or not, haha)
I love these quirky take on quirky games. its refreshing like water but with substance like a light soup.
This game needs to come out on every Nintendo system.
Awesome video, i still have my copy of the game and its still fun today
Never seen this game played so there was a lot of interesting information, thanks!
Cool! I always wanted to play this one. Great video!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Excellent as per usual.
I play the 3ds version of this game religiously. I pour probably 10-12 hours into each painting.
I am SO GLAD they omitted the undo button -- undo buttons are why im never able to use most digital painting software
I played art academy on 3ds and the Wii U version religiously too 😭💜
I sold alot of my 3ds games long ago. But I'm buying the 3ds version of art academy again. I'm thinking of getting the Wii U and the art academy game this year for my birthday or Christmas before it gets too expensive years from now.
I finished the video!!! Wonderful :)) and your cover is beautiful!!
Thanks, pal!
Very nice video my bro, keep the good work! :)
Thanks!
the nintendo DS is my favorite console ever. fits perfectly in your hand, has two screens with one being a touch screen, is able to fold close to protect the screen and buttons, and was able to foster such amazing and creative games. it's the perfect handheld console
I didn't know art academy was on the ds, my younger self would have love this game back when I still had my ds. Great vid as always ^^
Thanks!
2:12 wait what? That’s way better than I expected...
So good 👌
Enjoined the vid especially the colour mixing part^^ Man I think of buying the WiiU game just to experience it once🙈
Your channel is really growing on me.
If you might be still looking for good but lesser known ds games with interesting backstory, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective could be good on your list (if you haven't planned it already)
Also, Animal Crossing
Maybe Pokemon?
Ace Attorney, of course
Dragon Quest: Monster Joker / Or IX / or in general
New Super Mario Bros.
Yes, they are the more known games, but I heard already some fun little facts about those gems
Wow, thanks for all the suggestions! Ghost Trick is planned, but I'm waiting til I've finished editing Ace Attorney first because they have quite a shared fanbase. As for Animal Crossing, I'm preparing a 4 part series covering each AC game, but I'm waiting to finish and release the video until Animal Crossing Switch comes out. Dragon Quest is a great idea - I'll definitely look into it! I'd also definitely like to make a video about Pokemon at some point, but I want to wait until I have time to properly do it justice. Anyway, thanks for all the ideas!
@@ThomasGameDocs That's great to hear! I get that there are a lot of possibilities with this format, but keep it cool. Take the time you need!
You have a very smooth and calm atmosphere in your videos, which you don't get a lot on yt.
Greetings from germany btw:D
Sorry, this is itching me right now to rewind back to the old games I played on DS, BUT what could be interesting...
Cooking Mama? Would be interested if there is some kind of dramatic backstory or just a, "hey, lets make a ds cooking game and make it sell well by inputting a woman named 'Mama'".
WarioWare
Rhythm Paradise
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
Harves Moon
This shouldn't come forcefull or something, it's just me being nostalgic and suddenly interested in the production process of those weird games
Ahaha no don't worry, I appreciate any suggestions I can get! Those are the perfect kind of game for this channel, actually! I'm currently working on quite a lot of videos (I'm doing a series of 3 videos about Metroid and probably a few videos about Resident Evil, too) but I really love those ideas. Thanks! Oh and greetings from England!
I love Art Academy.
Yeah the wiiu and 3ds got art academy too 🎨
Im gonna buy it this year
You're right about "we have smartphones now." but what we don't have is a Nintendo or a central "Art Academy" or "brain age" which either you love or ignore. Alone the music in the main menu, maybe easter eggs, there are touches everywhere from the dev. Because there was only _one_ game for one specific thing. On smartphones we have a load of apps for different things, none as good as a simple DS game.
Nice video, just tested Pokemon Art Academy and dude this is the nailed nearest game art software compared with actual PC draw/ paint software like Clip Studio, Medibang etc but with fun art lessons :) i just want to say who this game and Art Academy Atelier with a Stylus with pen pressure and game updates it will be perfect game for artist.
Never played the ds ones but got the Wii u one and it was really cool
so good 👍🏼
Thanks!
And then came Art Academy Sketchpad, and then Home Studio.
Am I the only one who never knew this didn't start out as a Pokemon game?
It IS cool !
I never played that game. Now I really want to. :o
Haha, maybe Nintendo should hire me!
travis DG edna It's really fun!
Hey! I know you might not see this but, I have a question, do you read the Splatoon manga?(Corika manga) Might make my day better because I have been stressed out because of knowing that not all people know about this masterpiece of a book.
I wonder if it really help to progress in drawing
Art Academy was the best community in miiverse.
Will you do a video on Pokémon Snap, please? :)
Ooh, I definitely look into it! I have a superrrr long list of future video plans, but I'll definitely add it!
I second this idea!
Nice nice new video yes
Haha, fast as ever, I see!
Hmmm... wonder how did we get Pokemon Art Academy...
Found it at GameStop for 5 dollars but it was locked up and they are unable to open it because the key was broken
I love your british accent
Dang it show us the plain of tacos
If the dsi could do everything, WHY ISN’T IT MAKING FOOD FOR US ALL BY ITSELF...
dont forget the 3ds remake
5:43
Still remembering Art Academy for the Wii U, where people from around the world could upload their art to Miiverse. And the franchise unfortunately can't be easily transfered to the Switch either, given the completely different control scheme. And given the lack of any sort of replacement for Miiverse.
3:47 tell that to procreate or photoshop lol
that is more realistic approach to painting as if you are painting in real life too, that was his point
Flipnote is still better
