Between the programming and testing it must have taken me a good three weeks to a month.

The platinum trophy is obtained for obtaining all other trophies in the game, not for individual tasks, which is what makes them so great.

Came out here wondering about retroachievements and left inspired by your editing skill.

Wonderful!!! Yo just gotta say, thats some kick ass production friend. Super impressive

The production value of this video is very good. This channel is going to grow if content like this keeps coming. Great work!

much props to you my man. I have been on RA for almost a year now and only got to it by a freak accident. More people like you should spread the word, as RA really needs more love.

yessirrr I've been playing it everyday!

I've use RA for a few months now after getting into emulation, and I'd say it's become my favourite achievement system. Leaderboards, subsets for the more popular games, achievements for hacks and homebrews, a strong community, and bonus points for getting extremely rare achievements. Since this video was made, RA support has been extended to DuckStation, PCSX2, and I think Dolphin has only just started support. Dreamcast is also supported in RetroArch using the Flycast core.

Let’s goooooo new video 🤩!

Very cool production value and explanations!

As someone who has been active in RA for over a year now, I'd have to say this is a pretty solid Introduction video to show to anyone who doesn't know and is curious about Retro Achievements.

RA has allowed me to get out of my comfort zone a bit when it comes to my security blanket type games and really clear out my backlog significantly. The achievement incentive gave me the extra push to finally play a game in my backlog I otherwise would have had an excuse to put off longer, or replay I game I've beaten once but probably would have never touched again. Even with familiar games, I found ways to play that I otherwise never would've considered.

Being a completionist I'm also very happy to have discovered RetroAchievements, this will be a really fun new experience for me.

Well, I've done motion graphics for at least 10 years or so. My early teens were full of video editing for an old youtube channel I deleted ages ago so that's where a lot of my experience came from. I use Adobe After Effects for all of my videos and I create a good chunk of my assets in PhotoShop when I need something specific. I use Hexels to create sprite gifs and upscale them to an HD resolution with no artifacts. The fonts I use are just fonts I really like lol like the AppleKid font is from EarthBound to match the visuals, and my personal drop shadow font doesn't exist anywhere else, at least not in english text. In terms of tips I can give, honestly... I've never been good at teaching that sort of thing but all I can say is, never settle for less when editing. Keep working on the same few seconds even if it takes you hours, until you're satisfied with how it came out. I always go for 1080p 60fps compositions. A lot of the extra motion graphics I add are just to add depth to the footage so it's not stagnant or boring. So keeping things in motion or animated will always appear more interesting than staring at a still image for a long time. Whatever you find visually pleasing or portrays your personality really. Hope that helps a little. Overall, just have fun with it. If you notice mistakes you make, use that to improve for next time, never let it discourage you. If you ever feel like "Oh I could do this way better if I did it like this instead" then you're on the right track. Growth is the best part of doing something you enjoy for a long time :)

This video is SMOOTH AS FUCK

Very well done video

Amazing video =3

Before RA you would beat a game and be like okay I beat the game I’m done with it but with RA it gives you a reason to play all of your old games and that’s really cool

You don’t even need to 100% them to enjoy RA tho, just like achievements for modern systems. I haven’t 100%’d a single game, but seeing my progress and occasionally attempting to get a harder one is still a lot of fun. Plus RA now tracks which games you’ve “beaten”, not 100%’d. So for example, on my profile it shows that I’ve beaten Pokemon Platinum, even if I haven’t 100%’d it. You’ll get a silver medal for beating the game traditionally, and a gold for 100%ing the achievements. So even without going the extra mile and 100%ing everything, you can still track all the games you’ve beaten and the achievements you’ve earned.
