In this video game documentary, we fly to the west hills of Los Angeles to explore caves with Derek Yu, the creator of the indie roguelike gem Spelunky. On our hike and subsequent cave crawl, we ask Yu what creating a "perfect" game means.

Spelunky and Spelunky 2 are some of my favorite games ever. It's awesome to see such a grounded, humanizing interview with the dev. Lovely atmosphere & visuals too

@gameinformer Год назад

Thanks for watching.

@bobmcbob8044 Год назад

I think Spelunky is the tightest and most cohesively designed game I've played, where everything does what it needs to to contribute to the overall game, and so I am one of those people who calls it perfect, or about as close as we've got.

@sdragon21 Год назад

The Spelunky documentary is great and all, but the real question still remains: Where’s UFO 50???

@gameinformer Год назад

We asked him that too on the way home.

The production of this was insane. Very inspiring to watch and hear from Derek. Not a really big Spelunky fan but played it a couple times on the ps4. As a musician (and video game lover), I love hearing other artists talk about their art. Really really appreciate Game Informer for creating this!

I first found Derek’s work through Spelunky 2, and it quickly became one of my favorite games of all time. It’s great to hear from the developer’s point of view!

@slinkadoo6292 5 месяцев назад

I've watched this a few times but there's one question I still have. How the hell can one man be so precious?

@joseluismendoza374 Месяц назад

I just graduated and have been looking for a change in direction in my career. I have been looking into game development for awhile and have been proactive about learning as much as I can so I can eventually make a game of my own. Spelunky holds a special place in my heart and I look up to Derek Yu. I hope that one day I create something as special as Spelunky

thanks, I love this! Derek has been a hero since the Tigsource days

@ChrisLT Год назад

Great stuff, well done. I've been enjoying the doc work GI's been experimenting with. And it helps that this one is about some of my favorite games. Derek's Spelunky book from Boss Fight Books is well worth reading, too.

@gameinformer Год назад

Great to hear!

@erics.6822 Год назад

This is seriously so cool. GameInformer recently has been creating some of the most well-produced and interesting stories in the industry, while also clearly having lots of fun. I really appreciate hearing Derek’s perspective on creating art; well done Derek and the folks at GI!

@PowerfulMint Год назад

Absolutely wonderfully produced. Flaws be damned, Spelunky 1 and 2 are perfect games to me and Derek Yu seems like such a chill, humble dude. (And for however long the development takes, I'm hyped as hell for UFO 50 whenever that comes out)

Good stuff. Derek seems pretty chill, despite? because of? his success. Who did the music?

@gameinformer Год назад

We sourced them from Epidemic Sound. Tracks are Too Dusty by Blood Red Sun, Hard Wired by Martin Hall, and Downstreams by Roots And Recognition (in order of their appearance).

If ONE game in UFO 50 is half as good as Spelunky, it will be worth it.

@neon9999 Год назад

I don't like to be negative, but I just feel weird about this video. There's barely 5 or 10 minutes of interview, but with a lot of beautiful shots and misc non-interview talking about the hike and environment. It just seems like it's not really a documentary and even barely an interview, there's almost no meat to this.

@gameinformer Год назад

Thanks for the feedback.

@stevenjohnson8736 Год назад

I just love playin spelunky on the switch the game is so fun to play i already beat spelunky 1 and 2 and i hope spelunky 3 comes out for the switch if it does imma buy that game 😃
