      If someone made a list of the ten best video game songs ever composed for the NES sound chip, I bet at least half of the list would be songs from Shovel Knight. Virt's music is incredible. It really is masterpiece-level composition.

    • @ToyKeeper
      @ToyKeeper 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      More recently, I was watching some Twitch streams of The Messenger, and people kept talking about how good the music was. Then someone said he thought it was the same person who did the music for Shovel Knight.
      This gave me a sudden and intense surge of indignation. I felt insulted on Virt's behalf. Could people really not tell the difference?
      Aside from both games using the NES sound chip, the music has nothing in common. It's like night and day. I can't really say The Messenger's sound track is bad, but it does seem solidly mediocre and simplistic. I'm not a very good composer, but even I can listen to The Messenger for a quick ego boost if I'm feeling bad about my limited skills.
      But Virt pretty much blows me away with everything he makes. I probably won't be that good even if I spend the rest of my life trying.

  • @themongoosling
    @themongoosling 5 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    Honestly glad the joke didn't die.
    Shovel knight is easily one of the best games I've ever played.
    Sure, it can be a bit infuriating at times (but let's be honest, a lot of indie platformers are quite difficult), but the characters and the plot is simple yet effective, and it's a quite faithful twist on NES games of old (music included, Jake Kaufman's works are amazing).
    And with King of Cards and Showdown on the way, I'll never get tired of this game.
    It's been ported to every console of this generation and the one before, but that just helps its success.
    So cheers to you, Shovel Knight. May your shovel blade never dull and your armor never dent.
    FOR SHOVELRY!

      I think this is a reality of any art-form and path that anyone wanting to create art for a living needs to accept if they want to prosper. If the thought of failure or never having a "big break" doesn't prevent you from working hard, than you'll be happy no matter where you end up. Cause most artists/teams/games will never get that "big break." And that's okay.

    • @pdreding

      "Also, they're bias to companies that trudge on until they succeed, success is more about determination and sticking to something than being lucky enough to survive."

    • @_.-.
      @_.-. 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Precisely. People work hard in order to be ready when luck knocks on their door. The problem is luck never does knock for many people. Just because you work hard doesn't mean the universe oves you a chance.
      It's called fortune, and people that want to pretend it doesn't exist while waving their hardships around doesn't realize there's many out there with an equal amount of tough times but with no grace from destiny.
      My favorite part is when these people start acting like douche-bags (since they think they particularly earned it) and dismiss other peers' lack of similar success to their efforts "not being enough".

  • @mysterypersonthing8885

    Here's a story you'd likely really enjoy covering:
    A freeware passion project of twelve years between three friends that garnered enough attention to be swept up by an overseas publisher for a remake. The publisher backs down after a few years of work without warning, forcing those three to think outside the box. They release, become a cult hit--- and even decide to go for a sequel. With the help connections that they made recovering from the loss of their first publisher they were able to put together a successful kickstarter. It took five years to release between an emergency where the lead developer was unable to use his hands, a huge earthquake in their city, and the choice to switch to Unity mid-development---- but it's finally out and fans agree that their work is just as great as it has ever been, if not better. The LA-MULANA saga.

I'm so excited for the game! Just have to wait until December which is going to be insane for me.

    They mismanaged their backers' money and got themselves into unnecessary financial trouble. It's easy to be sympathetic to them in retrospect since the game turned out to be so successful (and a great game btw) but let's not sugarcoat things. The true moral of the story is that they should have planned their budget more wisely so as not to incur such risks in the first place.

    And as you can see, shovel knight is one of the most successful games of recent. There was obviously heart and soul put into this game and you can feel it when you play it. I'd say it also helped increase the popularity of indie games, He is the Mario of indie games. I'm glad indie games are a thing as we don't have to deal with stuff like Call Of Duty 26 or NBA sport port.
    Same thing happened with Sonic Mania. While yes, it was funded by Sega, it was built by passionate fans of the series and was basically a giant fangame. The success of that game enormous. It even spawned a miniseries. Where's the Sonic Forces miniseries?....

    7:07 thats the sort of "progressive" thing i do like in this game. like i wouldnt have a problem if it was just the classic damsel in distress but this is much better in a few ways.
    however the "bodyswap" thing. i have a few problems with that. namely that it must have taken lots of development and design work time just to make a feature that people would maybe just use once if at all.

      It's just sprite and text swapping. The game plays identically with bodyswap mode.
      The most expensive thing of this feature is the sprite assets, which would already be based on the existing sprites so there is no need to change frame data/palette.
      Also because of the presentation how gamers are, there are probably more people who have used body swap mode than people who beat the final boss.
      They wouldn't make this feature if there wasn't a demand for it.

      @@jjj7790 I've got mixed feelings on it. On one hand it's cool (though unnecessary) to see how the character designs change when gender swapped but retain the essence of the character. On the other hand, the "text" option bothers me...it's essentially simple m/f gender pronouns. That's pandering to the far left, and I can't see the demand for such a feature being anything larger than a tiny fraction of the playerbase.

      I would highly suggest getting it asap. I'm running it as a speed game and it's been really fun. I'm actually enjoying it even more speeding it rather than casually playing it, but that's not to say it's a bad casual game by any means, but I just like it better in a speedrun setting

      Haha comfortable is often used as a synonym for one offering some degree of stability as to the regularity of one's paycheque... but yes, the relentless stress is not what I'd call comfortable haha.

      Yup, the more correct adjective would have been “stable.”

      How does the comfortability compare to jobs like builder or cashier?

    •  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Comfortable mans “free from stress or anxiety.” Clearly a cashier feels less stress than a person who is to a large extent responsible for an entire company and who probably works 100+ hours per week.
