Extremely Ok Games

I would love a full doc on Celeste.

Been following Noel Berry and Matt Thorston since 2009 or so, I used to make little flash games based on the ActionScript framework Flashpunk...Back then Noel was this 16 yo kid that popped up in the community alongside Thorston and co...It's crazy to see him become so successful, making a great game like Celeste. Looking forward to seeing what he and his team do next!

The fact that they analyzed feedback from play testers from an emotional lens rather than a data-driven formulaic lens is a really underrated in a fascinating insight into how games that feel "right' are made. There's no committee judging what direction this game should go based on causation without correlation from statistics of testers, to understand how the game is going to work you need to let the art breathe and exist with the player. Companies like EA pretend video games are stocks. Indie devs remember that games are meant for two things: *artistic expression and fun.*

The incredible music really made this game. Still listening to it almost every day

As a game creator myself this is very inspiring. I've had the game in my steam library for a while, but this has made me want to play it. Keep up the great work.

I love when Developers (Indie or Big Companies) put their hearts in "small" projects and turns up to be the biggest step in their careers. The game carry the old school nostalgia and as a gamer, I love that.

Celeste is one of my biggest discovery of the joy from indie games. After Hollow Knight, i couldn't think of a game that could blend great design, amazing soundtrack and a steep difficulty curve from any indie games that i've ever played.

@@NoclipDocs I second that. Hollow Knight is a game that captured me for over 60 hours before I even put it down for a couple months. 60 hours... I rarely put in 5 hours before I take a break from a game, to put it in perspective.

This is great! I can’t wait for the long overdue Hollow Knight (Team Cherry) documentary!

Great little doc! I'd love to see a full length one though.

Not trying to be hyperbolic when I say this is what it sounds like when you talk to someone who knows how to follow inspiration, which I think is the most important aspect of good art. “We knew what we wanted to make and It started to fall into place” “we watched people play it a lot and changed things until it flowed” and “it has to feel really good” are some of my most favorite things to hear an artist say, especially a game designer. Celeste is still easily in my top tier of games

This game changed my life, it's my favorite indie game by far. When are we getting chapter 9?

Very cool! Thank's Danny! A longer Doc about Celeste would be awesome, the game deserves that.

You've got my vote for a full documentary!

I find it interesting that he describes the development process as if the game was making itself and they were just helping it along the way.

Bummed this is so tiny cause I adore Celeste. I'm interested to see where Noel and Matt go from here. Towerfall was a neat little game but being strictly multiplayer I never really cared but Celeste was truly something special. I remember jumping out of my chair and fist pumping the first time I finished climbing the Summit. I loved the game so much I went back and found the hearts so I could tackle The Core and all the B-Sides.

Thanks for making this! Makes me want to go back and try and do all the tapes.

Bravo guys! Cheers from MX, loving your approach into making games.

Thank you so much for this clip. Love what you do! Celeste was a crazy and delightful ride :)

You guys really knocked it out of the park with this game. Awesome work!

I really love this game and its developers. I live in a kinda poor country (Argentina), and buying games it's expensive, if it's single player you just pirate and you're done, i did it with Celeste. But after replaying i was decided, i went to pay the steam bill with effective to a supermarket like 15 km from my home (rural zone), a really sunny hot summer day, i was walking under the sun and really felt like the effort Madeline does to climb the mountain, it was kinda an empathic experience. I also play piano and bought the physical book Piano Collections to learn the music, Lena is an incredible composer, i really feel what she does and totally merge it with the level design (ej: from Quiet and Falling to In The Mirror she swaps the notes and works natural and perfectly) It was another headshot to my wallet but it's totally worth.

God this was great. I also felt teased and realized now I need to hear more about not just Celeste, but Towerfall too. ugugugh, great work Danny!

Love the short style. More digestible for a busy guy like myself.

This game is so good. it is easily up in my top 5 favorite games ever with Mario 64 DS Mario Odyssey and Hollow Knight. I absolutely love the work the team has done with this game. Thank you to all of the developers as a part of Matt Makes Games Inc.

I'm a youtube comment-reading fanatic and that's the FIRST time I've seen somebody namedrop Knytt Stories in any thread EVER. One of the classics.

A game like this needs a full viddoc

After watching this, I realise what I really want to hear is the emotional side. It sounds like an experienced team working a smooth process, so I'd like to feel more of the heart they put in. What is the personal inspiration for the team members, what are stories from their lives that influenced this. I want the cornier doc 😁 Maybe that's because I also have been following the indie game scene since 2007, flashpunk, local multilayer scene, pico 8, etc. I knew this broad line story already.

Imagine one day they just drop a Celeste 2 Trailer

Ah damn i gotta replay it again Wish me luck on the summit

Nice little doc.

I think Celeste might be perfect. I'm really picky when it comes to platformers (and bad) and this one feels amazing and the difficulty curve is just right. And I never expected the story and characters to connect with me so deeply. And the art and music are just outstanding. I really can't say enough about how much this game means to me

Years ago I toyed around on Pico-8 and, like basically anyone on Pico-8, I've of course played Celeste. The feel of controls is really the thing that sticks out most in the first version. I adore how responsive the controls are, to get that kind of feel devs have to put a lot of effort into that area. It's one of the least visible aspects, but one that can make or break a game. I still need to try the full Steam game. The art looks beautiful and really interested to experience the story. I didn't know they put a gentle difficultly curve in the full game, I love the idea. As a Super Meatboy fan, early/easy levels can be great for replayability when you just want to chill or see how fast you can finish a level.

I would greatly recommend the game it is the single best platformer I’ve ever played

Wow, I just started playing Celeste, and this video releases!

I am constantly fascinated by how developers discover their own games. It seems like the best projects rarely start as what they end up as. I remember Klei saying that Invisible Inc (my favourite game in recent years) started as a card game... which is so bizarre to me that such tight, and purposeful game was a result of an entirely different project. I think in crowdfunding we see a lot of games, which are put together competently but suffer from having to be what they were promised to be. It feels like games to some extend reveal what they can be during the development and sticking to vision one had before the game was forming just isn’t good for the final product.

Kentucky Route Zero is a pretty wild counter example, but yeah maybe exception to the rule. Go check out its crowdfunding video, looks like a completely different game, just with some similar narrative beats (it was originally planned as a platformer?!?)

I’m new to Celeste so glad to have stumbled on it it’s such a wonderful playing experience. Very emotional and fun

God the goosebumps when resurrection kicks in

That game was really great. It was nice (though a little too short) to hear where the game came from. My son and I really enjoyed the game a lot. The music was great and the gameplay really was challenging.

Oh... there's a connection between these guys and Towerfall...I should've known.

It's great to see how developers started with small projects that eventually turned into pieces of art that are getting nominated for world-wide awards. I've had a blast with Celeste and even though there isn't going to be anything new after Chapter 9, I'm looking forward to what new projects they will start.

One of the best games I've ever played, this should be made physical not just a limited run game. Everyone should have the chance of owning and playing this game.

Must not have played many games then. You just finishing up Mario 2?

First time hearing about this game. Have to give it a try now.

... Oh! I thought this was a trailer! It's the whole thing! I would love to see like an hour long video on Celeste! But this is good too.

It's so weird to think that the same Noel that I saw at a cafe in Winnipeg ages ago as a teenager learning XNA and moving away from FlashPunk work on a small passion project that just spiraled out of hand and paid off in the end. I mostly wish the documentary was full length, but it's understandable why it's not.

I am so incredibly surprised they did not envision the story from the start. It just evolved naturally with gameplay and music. They did not think they were creating a masterpiece but damn, they're silly little game somehow ended up being my favourite life changing game of all time. They are some super skilled developers, just doing all the right things in playtesting, two roommates and a soundcloud artist they loved online. -sincerely Uel

This was an incredible game, I was going through a transition period in my life and anytime I doubted myself, one of the thoughts that got me through was "I beat Celeste" ... might be silly but anyone that's played the game and fought through the levels we thought were impossible knows what I'm talking about

best game i've ever played and now still finishing on new chap

It's an awesome Farewell for Celeste!

I thoroughly enjoyed this game, great level design (especially the B stages!) I applaud these guys for the quality they showed, a true gem!

Celeste has the best level design I have ever experienced. If you haven't experienced the b sides and the final level, you need to in order to realize how incredibly well this game is designed.

Just finished watching the horizon zero dawn documentary and it was good. This is the type of channel i could binge watch. I cant support on patreon atm but i will watch the ads

The best platformer of 2018, without question. I attempted speedruns of it pretty close to launch, there are some ridiculously brutal techs involved that I just couldn't get, but the sheer process of playing it multiple times in a single sitting rapid-fire was a class of reward all its own.

One of my favorites. Everything about this game was dopamine inducing.

Lol Ninja presented their award.

Best soundtrack of almost any game I can think of...

I Cannot Believe Celeste Has Came this far Im A Speedrunner Myself Im So Happy Yous Have Added A Chapter 9 Currently Im Loving the New Design And The Items Like The Fishes And The JellyFish Glider Im Still Prosessing The Fact that Granny Dies At the Start! For me It was really Unexpected!

Amazing work!

I want my game in the future to be like this but anxiety, my introvertness, and self doubt to myself makes me worried non stop. I was naive back then, i want to be the boss of a giant game company but i realized the management, the money, and the morale, then i want to be the boss of a smaller indie team being the father to my workers but due to my mindset and my personality, i'm flawed and inexperienced but i'll try my best.

This game has more emotion than a puzzle platformer should be allowed to have. Between the music, the level design, the story, the gameplay ... the soundtrack still gives me chills to this day, it matched the game beyond perfectly.

Danny you are amazing ❤

i played this game once or twice

Feels more like a trailer than a full video to me...

didn't see this coming

I love this kinda stuff.

Love the game (my favorite or 2019) and the 9th chapter is amazing so far. Stuck at a particularly tricky bit

Them talking about not rounding off the edges via playtesting is something I wish AAA devs would learn

Great video. More folk should appreciate the art that is Celeste. Do you guys take suggestions? I was hoping you guys could do a doc about the Batman Arkham series.

Will yall do a doc on Hollow knight please? I really like that game and would love for noclip to do something on it.

Thanks for the video. I nearly broke my mouse because I clicked so hard.

This game is amazing on so many levels, good pick

This was the best game in 2018. I'm picking it up definitely after watching this.

São essas coisas que me inspiram como game dev. i love this game, and his is in my heart

While Noel Berry was talking I went to dial my playback speed back down from 2x and then realized I was already at 1x and that's just how fast he talks.

Just taking a break from chapter 9 :) This is one of the best games ever made.

considering how match up celeste gamrplay and story was. it is really surprising they weren't written and designed together

Love this game .

Matt and Noel seem like the nicest people ever.

This game helped me on so many levels. Truly proves how good an indie title can be.

Oh, holy shit. So Celeste was made in Pico 8? I saw it there but I hadn't realized it was the original idea. I thought it was a Pico 8 demake.

Just curious does this video have any story spoilers? Since I am going to start playing this game soon 😄

It's kinda sad hearing Noel talk about Skytorn never being finished.

^‿^ Adored this game. I love that a teensy-tiny indie developer managed to make a title that -- at least to me -- lives up to the big leagues.

"we hoped it would do ok and stuff..." *gets nominated for game of the year* (which it deserved)

I well up from hearing success stories of indie developers

4:56-5:28 is my personal highlight. you cannot be clever, you cannot automate the playtesting process with statistics or self-reported surveys, you've got to empathize with the individual to make any sense of what your game experience is like.

Y'all are my heroes and you need to make more games. Stay with pixel art cause towerfall and celeste are amazing. And both have incredible soundtracks, never stop working with great composers.

The amazing music from *Lena Raine* can be found on soundcloud.com/lena-chappelle
