Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games

Squeeze and Release [Game Essence] (2022x9)

Air date: Sep 04, 2022

Isn't it strange how games stress you out in order to make you feel good? What's going on there?? Lots of games draw inspiration from other works, but rather than just mimic the rules of other games, wouldn't it be better to understand what makes them fun at a fundamental level and then use that to create something truly new and innovative? This is what I try to do, at least.
