Sakurai Masahiro is a japanese video game designer known for being the creator of Kirby and the Super Smash Bros franchise. Those who like the later probably already saw some videos of him announcing DLC fighters for the game.
He recently created an youtube channel focused on video game design, in a format somewhat similar to the Smash DLC announcements. He said he wanted to help people across the world to make their games more fun.
I thought people here might find useful/interesting because he made two version of the channel: one with english subtitles and one with japanese subtitles (both speaking his mother tongue). You also don’t need any preconceivied knowledge to grasp what he’s talking about.
Anyway, here’s the link for both version:

Very cool, thanks for sharing!
Its actually incredibly based for Sakurai to do this. It’s very insightful for artists.
This was circulating in my company (in Japan) he explains everything in an easy to understand way, thanks for the share.
