00:00Hey, how you doing? My name is Danny O'Dwyer and about seven years ago I started a mission

00:04to try and demystify the world of games development, the only way I know how, by starting a YouTube

00:10channel that made unofficial documentaries about how those games were made.

00:15Since then, thanks to our community of patrons, Noclip has been travelling around the world,

00:19talking to developers, both big and small, about the reality of making games.

00:25The reason I did this is because I used to have a show back on GameSpot.com called The Point,

00:30where I would wax lyrical about how I thought games should be designed, because who knows

00:34more about game design than a video editor.

00:38As somebody who had a job talking about games, I thought I knew what I was talking about.

00:42But then when I'd interview actual developers about those same issues, it made me realise

00:46I knew a lot less than I thought.

00:48So I quit the show, and GameSpot, and started Noclip to try and better understand how games

00:53are created, to hand the microphone over to developers to tell their side of the story,

00:58to learn the basics, how studios are run, the different specialities it takes, how things

01:02like local culture affect design, and the human stories behind the games we play.

01:06Well, it's been seven years of forcing developers to answer my questions, so I feel like I've

01:11learned a little bit, at least enough to jump back on the video essay saddle.

01:16But truth be told, making video essays takes time and money, and I could never really justify

01:20the budget of doing self-indulgent opinion videos when there are just so many game dev

01:25stories for Noclip to tell.

01:27But as fate would have it, A16Z Games reached out, as investors in dozens of game studios

01:32they wanted a way to better showcase the development and business lessons behind modern games.

01:38So I had an idea.

01:39Hey, A16Z Games, you're a venture capital firm, you like investing in new ideas.

01:45How about you hire me to make a monthly video essay show, one that tackles the big questions

01:50facing developers today.

01:52One that looks not only at design, but also marketing, business development, and the challenges

01:56facing developers today and tomorrow.

01:59And they said sure, and I said okay, and I had a logo made, and I wrote a script, and we

02:04filmed some boxes, and interviewed some people, and I made the first episode.

02:08And also this trailer.

02:09So if you liked my opinion shows in the past, or you're a Noclip subscriber and want something

02:13a little bit extra, make sure you're subbed to A16Z Games' YouTube channel to catch monthly

02:19episodes of my brand new show, By Design.

02:22The first episode focuses on the success of Baldur's Gate 3, how exactly it happened, the

02:28history of Larian Studios, the state of the role-playing games market, and what it means

02:33for the future of AAA RPGs.

02:37That's By Design with me, Danny O'Dwyer, coming soon to A16Z Games.

02:44And today, we will go down a few minutes later.

02:47And after that, we have acierge with my friends and millionaires in Breeze Valley.

02:48This episode will be set with you in two weeks.

02:49And since it is known to be believable, the world is Wyandwe was有點 much tiets along

02:51with a lot of countries.

02:53And who docile fromcient we overr researching?

02:55This is reason for this.
