There's something really fun about watching devs cheer on their game's final boss to defeat streamers live!

I’m amazed by the level of composure and self discipline these guys keep to maintain healthy working hours and pace to not burn themselves out, understanding that it’s a long run, not a sprint. As funny as it sounds, it takes a lot of maturity and self control to just simply rest and not obsessively overwork, when you’re working on a passion project and feel all sorts of anxiety. Big respect.

It seriously makes me happy to see these guys with the hindsight that Hades is a 10/10 legendary tier roguelike

I'm coming back after the announcement of Hades 2. I wanted to re-immerse myself in the magical world of Hades... Really hoping Noclip does a new documentary with Supergiant.

I love that the game studio is driving the narration. Don't get me wrong, I love when Danny or another noclip creators narrate their videos but this is a nice change and it shows you're trying something new. It feels like we're truly a fly on the wall. Also, the 90 min play test meetings, reviewing bugs and experiences are awesome. What a great way to collaborate on a game.

I'm getting second hand anxiety from a video of over 2 years ago about the release of the game that I've now played for over 50 hours and loved. This is how you know you've nailed in the documentary department, real intimate view inside this team which deserves all the success and recognition they're getting.

Darren Korb's music just doesn't stop being absolutely amazing. It just doesn't.

I love how humble the devs are in this. These guys and girls have released two of the best indie games in the last decade, and still worry about reception for their products. Excellent series thus far.

Okay, to clear things up : Yes, it was a bug, but i actually won another run right after ! Incredible game, incredible Video, it was an amazing discovery for me !

nice ending, with my favorite transistor song. man, the supergiant music is just god-tier

Literally one minute in and I already love it

Wow I’m so glad this was made omg!!!! Thank you! Running to episode 2

OH THAT FANART WAS MADE BY MY FRIEND @7:15 I'm so glad they still have it! She's going to be so excited!

Well this ended extremely well. Hades finally made its full release and multiple game reporters and magazines treat it as a Game of the Year candidate at least. So glad to see Supergiant deliver another banger.

"We want to make games that spark your imagination like the games you played as a kid." You MADE the games that sparked my imagination as a kid!

Man, that Bastion song at the beginning just gets my jumblies janglin'... whatever that means... but it does it.

That was such an exhilarating experience! Felt really happy when I saw the relief and happiness they felt when they saw that streamer having fun with their product that they poured their hearts and souls into for years. This format is definitely a great addition to the already top notch documentaries. Thanks for the astounding work Danny! That Patreon pledge is definitely worth it :)

This is really cool. My brother has been talking up Hades a lot recently and it got me curious into seeing what it was all about besides what he had told me. I just discovered this channel and this is the content I love! Game documentaries filled to the brim with heart and soul! The production levels are so amazing, I’m surprised you don’t just have these go straight to Netflix or DVD! You provide that level of quality, for free (with ads)! New sub, new fan!

I'm from the future, who started playing at 1.0

The people of Supergiant are extremely enduring, passionate, and genuine people and it shows in their work. I own all of their games and enjoyed each one immensely. Thank you very much.

I'll be waiting for it to exit early access, but love the look of the game supergiant also that vegeta shirt is rocking

It's wild to think about the way games are developed and delivered these days. Something can be announced and put live and within hours the developers can be watching a streamer playing their game and getting feedback. Supergiant is one of my favorite indie developers and I want to see them succeed, but I'm probably going to avoid Hades until it's closer to complete just because of the frustrations that go along with Early Access.

This is beautiful. Love supergiant and getting this inside look is priceless. Stay awesome supergiant, and thanks noclip for this series.

I genuinely have not found a rogue-like I enjoyed before playing Hades. This game is freaking amazing and makes me want to try out their earlier work too. This dev team just earnt themselves a new fan.

Watching this makes me miss the pre-corona times.

playing it on the switch since version 1.0 . im addicted. I played it 70 hours in just one week. no end in sight yet

The part with the streamer at the end was so cool.

Hearing that guy's voice is unmistakable. All the Game Spot reviews.

... I can almost hear his soul leaving the body while remembering - "The trailer starts playing, but the URL 404s!" D^B(

"Gavin's car would routinely break down from not being operated for many days at a time" Don't think they realized at the time how relatable this line would become.

as stater by others, hades is probably their best game to date. they took everything that was good from bastion, transistor, and pyre and polished it into something that's better than most AAA titles.

This is your best work to date. Greg’s quote at the very end of the video rang really true - this makes me desperately want to learn to make games now

Hey folks. We're excited to go on this journey with our community as we continue to cover the development of Hades throughout its time in Early Access. If you have any questions you'd like us to ask the team or specific areas of development you are interested in, please let us know in the comments. And if you want to watch some more from the team at Supergiant consider becoming a Patron (or UKposts Channel Member) to get access to our first Delete Scenes episode later this week. www.patreon.com/noclip Thanks so much, we hope you enjoyed the first episode.

Came back to rewatch the series now that I've played the game post launch on Switch. Thanks for the great content.

It's crazy to think of all the different games that Noclip could have covered and they pick the one that would be THE game of 2020. Pretty awesome for all of the us millions of fans.

'Old friends' always gives me chills, even after all this time

37:08 Zagreus emerges from the orange juice springs.

12:15 Shoutout to keeping your bed bath & beyond coupons in the nintendo switch dock

As a Pole, I love a phrase 'Taking a trip to Poland'

Came back to this vid after playing the Switch release for the first time, and I gotta say, this game is AMAZING. Great job Supergiant, and thanks Noclip for the doc!

This is, hands down, the best channel on UKposts.

Words cannot explain how much I respect these people. I will remember all of their games for the rest of my life.

"Great intention and gravitas." I felt it, Amir; their paths were wearing unseen grooves!

Hades to yr character in the new game Hades: "BOY"

I bought this for $20 mostly based of how likeable the devs were in this video since I wasn't a huge fan of Bastion or Transistor. And off course the amazing art and music. But I'm so glad I did. Well worth it.

Hades is a great game imo, arguably the most polished early access I've ever played. well done guys & keep up the works!

Really cool video! Interesting points for me as a game developer : - Weekly review process (8:30) - Monthly internal playtest process (12:35) - Polishing (18:20) - What we fight for (29:50)

Super cool to watch this in between playing the v1.0 of the game. In my opinion, all their work paid off. This is my favourite Supergiant game. And I loved all their other games.

Now I wonder how many instances where the whole dev team watches a streamer, eager to know their reaction, without them knowing.

You can tell the love they put into this. Got it on switch today and LOVE IT!

When your name is "Jen Zee" But you aren't apart of "Gen Z"

With the announcement of Hades 2, going in for a third rewatch! Incredible documentary series.

lmao "going to Poland" Shout out from Poland guys, love yall

This is literally the first game I ever bought in Early Access. That's due to the trust in the studio to deliver a game that I know I will enjoy, as I already did with all of their previous games. And it's great. The art and audio are excellent, the combat is snappy, the writing toes the line between funny and serious perfectly and I feel a steady progression in my abilities. I died to the first "mini-boss" encounter like five times until I figured out the pattern and how to deal with the enemies and overcame them not because of my passive bonuses but because I got better at the encounter. Same with the first boss. I can now reliably get past them every single time. All of the weapons already in here feel very different yet balanced. I basically always take the one suggested to me by the +10% bonus darkness and had great results with all of them. The way you have to adapt on the fly based on the powers offered leads to different playstyles, sometimes relying on souped-up Casts, while other times preferring the Special or Normal attacks. One annoyance I had was with how long the shield can stay out when you throw it in the second zone, so hopefully that'll change. I also didn't find the Ares powers to be as useful as some of the other ones, though I haven't played with them nearly as much as with the other gods' powers (due to the perceived weakness). Also, Dusa

It's so cute how all of them are unsure about hades and then they dropped their best game yet

Guys... This is one of the best games I've ever played. I haven't had a game that I couldn't put down since I was a child some 20+ years ago. I keep telling myself just one more run... Just one more run. Before I know it... It's nearly 5am and I've been playing for over 6 hours straight. Very well done. Thank your work

The choice to reward the player with extra darkness by using a random weapon was a brilliant move, it made me use all the weapons in the game and it was a delight in doing so, without that small incentive I prob would have stuck with one due to choice paralysis. This game is incredible.

That was fantastic! Really looking forward to continuing this series over the next year.

Just amazing! Love the behind the scenes look, certainly looking forward for more! Love you, Supergiant

This is my favourite Noclip episode yet, amazing work team! Can't wait for the rest of the journey.

Watched the documentary. Bought the game. Rewatching the documentary. Noclip and Supergiant Games, titans of their industries.

It's so emtional watching this after Hades 2 announcement in The Game Award, such an inspiration for a lot of indie game studio ♥

Supergiant is 3 for 3 so far in knocking it out of the park. Looking SO forward to Hades

This is so inspiring! Thank you for making this series and thank Supergiant for making their games!

This was easily one of my favourite docs that you've put out. Can't wait for more episodes!

Excelent documentary as always, Danny! Congrats to you and all your team, mate! I'm really looking forward to watch the next episodes!

Love this, absolutely fantastic idea to do a documentary like this. Looking forward to the rest.

This is a dope video. Great work capturing these moments.

Great first episode! That was fun, and a nice look at things heading up to launch. Excited to see what happens as it goes!

It was a really nice message Greg had at the end, thank you Noclip and Supergiant for allowing us to peer into the game creating process and get inspired by your work

Thank you very much for the subtitles and for the documentary video ofcourse!

Great clip! I'm looking forward to part two

Awesome. really looking forward to the next episode. This is why I started my dev diary videos and streaming my current game dev project. Great stuff, I can wait for Ep #2.

Great job Jeremy and Danny! Looking forward to the rest of the series and playing Hades once its out of early access.

I LOVE THIS STUFF. I love watching how freakibg hard they work to make something special. I've been a supergiant fan for a long time and I'm so pumped to see more of this series!

Supergiant is easily my favorite studio, thank you for this.

This is a fantastic series of docs. Awesome seeing the passion and hard work that went into Hades. Makes you appreciate the awesome game even more.

Super lovely and ultimately uplifting. Bravo Supergiant, and bravo Noclip for portraying their journey in such an uncluttered, pure fashion. The countless clever editing and coverage choices really make this a joy to watch. :)

Always wanted to see Supergiant's studio, thank you for this outstanding video!

Possibly my favorite episode yet!!! You did an amazing job encapsulating the emotions of the dev team, and well....we got to go along for the ride and it was kick ass!! Top shelf!! and hats off to the team @ Supergiant for making such an amazing and thoughtful game!

The kind of amazing team that I would love to be a part of one day. Great series and great work! Cannot wait for more.

great video, I'm so happy you are doing a longer series on supergiant games :)

This is my favorite video game documentary series. I have seen this whole batch of videos at least 10 times. It is so inspiring and so exciting to watch. Noclip, amazing job! Now I need to play Hades!

FANTASTIC first episode. Love Supergiant, love you guys, this is a great collaboration. Thank you for making this. 😀

Is that dude using a Switch dock as a letter holder at 12:12 ?

I'm gettitng shivers just watching this, reminds me of my own experiences during the month before my game released on Steam. Well done NoClip on capturing all these feelings. Also a bravo to the dev team for being so open to discuss all this stuff, perfectly encapsulating the pure chaos and pleasure a game release creates.

Messes up the Christmas tree.. “I come from a Chinese family” I laughed so hard

Thank you no clip for bringing this awesome video from one of the best studios out there. I really hope to see more soon.

Danny this is amazing, thank you so much and thank you Supergiant for letting us get a peek at development. Can't wait for more episodes!

Crazy to come back here after watching the final episode. Congrats to Noclip and Supergiant Games for all the success in the series and the game! I can't believe that we all followed a game become a game of the year

This was a great first peek into this amazing studio 👍 can't wait to see more!!!!

Thank you so much Noclip & Supergiant. This is incredibly helpful, inspirational, and motivating. I can't wait to see the rest of this!!

Excited for this, very interesting to see the inner workings.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for captions that are well-written. Huge accessibility boon! 🥰

This was exceptional. Looking forward the whole series. Supergiant Games is my favorite independent studio.

I just copped this game this week and I can't believe how polished and addictive it is!!! honestly the flow of the story makes me feel like starting at the beginning doesn't feel like I'm starting at the beginning again! Thanks for creating a fantastic game! and for it's price on Steam it's a steal!!! once I get more funds I'm buying all your games to support the devs so they can create another kick ass game!

Having bought 1.0 and played and finished a run I'm rewarding myself with watching through these docs through. Really excellent work by Danny and the team. I really like how the edit is given the space to breathe - it really humanises the staff involved. Well done NoClip on another great series and well done to supergiant for a fantastic beast of a game!

Beautiful documentary. I’ve always loved Supergiant, and I can’t wait to see where hades goes next. Good work, noclip; and good work Supergiant.

My god, Hades has got to be one of the most gorgeous creations ever! GGWP @SuperGiantGames ! Thank you for the bottom of my heart for all the beautiful emotions I've experienced through your game. I love it!

one of the most inspiring things I've ever watched in my whole life! you are one of the best! :) keep up the good work.
