Thanks Jonas for agreeing to be interviewed (it was super fun!) and thanks to the entire team for making such a great game!
THE AUTO GEN SUBTITLES SAID KIDS FOR BREAKFAST...
HAT KID MUSTACHE GIRL *RUN*
ono
And bow kid run!
A hat in Time is SOOOOO underrated and it kills me . but then again we wont have weird fandoms about the game
Sir Secret True, I love the fandom right now as it is, hope it stays this way!
Suddenly 12 year olds start playing the game...
I mean, it sold 1.5m copies which is crazy for an indie game, hell arms didn't even sell 1.5m copies with the backing of Nintendo
@@tbana2396 yep 😰
58:14 - God! That scared me! You might as well add that sound to Queen Vanessa's Manor. Heart attacks will be even more likely!
But anyway, great interview! It's interesting to hear about how modding led to the creation of the game. Didn't know it'd help that much for game development itself.
PVVVVVVVT
Aw man, I was hoping you’d ask him about the original Subcon plot and the Moonjumper.
Still, this is fantastic. Thank you for making this, it answered so many questions I had.
yeah same because the moonjumper and the subcon plot were the biggest questions i wanted answered, but still a awesome video
My boyfriend played Hat In Time, and he NEVER plays platformers. This game is insanely fun.
Ha! Can't believe I almost stumped Jonas!
This interview was absolutely a treat to listen too.
if you haven't played A Hat in Time, that should be a crime, I reccomed it a lot, so play it so snot!
I dunno why a lot of people are trying to give this game a bad rep. The whole JonTron fiasco was terrible enough. Look, I don't like the guy myself, but I'm not going to give the game flack just because some famous RUclipsr voice two lines, TWO FREAKING LINES for 30 SECONDS as an FREAKING NPC. It'd be a different story if he voiced a character that play a major role in the game, but that wasn't the case.
And second, so what if Jonas had some dark past? I dunno what it was, but does it really matter in the end? Everyone make mistakes, but the most important thing is that people move on from those mistakes. And I think Jonas did just that. He really seems like nice guy with a good sense if humor.
He's taking some feedback from a lot of people who played A Hat in Time, and trying to find ways to improve it.
This game honestly doesn't deserve to get hate for petty reasons, people pirating it for those reasons doesn't make them better people. It's wrong, and unfair to the developers. A Hat in Time is an adorable 3D platformer with charming characters, witty humor, great music, fun bosses, fast/fluid gameplay, and interesting worlds and level designs. The game's not perfect, but it's definitely a good example of how you do a Kickstarter.
*Eyes at Mighty No. 9 and Yooka-Laylee.*
Also...a game's legnth shouldn't really be a con as long as the overall package is enjoyable. Heck, 14 hours for an indie game is pretty impressive. Indie titles usually only last about 2-6 hours.
Longer games does not always equal fun. I can list a few games with a good length but can still be enjoyable like Xenoblade, but I think a lot of longer games tend to lose their steam during the second half or something.
Snikur That's cool. Different strokes for different folks.
My parents wouldn't let me buy a hat in time so I downloaded a pirated edition
Sooorry
AAAND let's not forget that the PC version includes mod support.
And don't forget The Replayablity!
About 90% done with A Hat in Time, highly recommended! Puts Yooka-Laylee to shame and I backed that game the week it was announced.
Dan the Man | Funny Videos! I’m guilty of backing mighty no 9
Very wholesome hearing the process! Thank you both for the interview, and thank you dev, actors, artists, and everyone that contributed to A Hat in Time!!!
Great interview. I just finished A Hat in Time 100% last night. Such a lovely game!
Wait, Kirbopher was the voice director? That definitely explains some of the casting.
In case the team at Gears for Breakfast reads the comments: You people made the best indie game of 2017. I play a lot of games, and work in the field designing props etc. This game/project is such a motivator. I wouldn't even call it an indie as far as the strengths it has. So many boring/ repetitive games these days. A hat in time is a breath of fresh air. I hope the team has some development footage. Also hope you guys get a GDC talk about the game. And can't wait to see the DLC's. And whatever new comes from your team. Keep at it!
There needs to be a Part 2 of this as soon as there are more things to talk about. I could listen to this all day long.
I don't get why Gears for Breakfast was so proud of Murder on the Owl Express. I always thought it was the most tedious level in the game, as it goes on forever and the jokes don't really land.
Hi there I’ve been subbed for over 2 years I think your content just keeps getting better
Disliking a video just because of a little historical drama is a very dislikable thing to do. Its a fun platformer, he got the mechanics right. The end.
It's a interview of course they would talk about these things
50:57 I'm so annoyed he didn't say "if it's not fun, why bother?"
I love the game and love that the devs are planning to put the profit back into the company. Keep it up and you guys will become huge, just please say no when EA / Ubisoft try to buy you out.
RUclips's auto transcript in action (from roughly 45:20): "obviously there's gonna be like a limited supply of deaf kids and so since they're imagined as a billion crippled a developers and publishers"
You need to do a full video on the development of A Hat in Time.
I hope you're not gone, man! Been following you since your earthbound revelation
I originally thought Jonas was a huge jerk after learning about the things he did in the TF2 community a few years ago. After watching this, I think he redeemed himself!
Dang! It’s amazing you keep getting to interview these people!
Hats off to Jonas!
This channel needs a dislike button, to dislike the dislike button!.
Aaron Greenfield it's called a like button silly
Gnar. That is a like button, I said a dislike button, essentially to dislike every dislike on the dislike button, so two dislike buttons, so they effectively cancel each other out, a dislike for every dislike. The like button only cancels out the dislikes if they are equal, like for dislike, so just in case that doesn't happen, they need a dislike button, to dislike the dislike button!...
Aaron Greenfield thats basically the like button as it negates the dislikes
Gnar. Like I said, only if it's equal likes for every dislike, if you have a dislike button to dislike the dislike button you cancel them all out, meaning that there is no dislikes!
Gnar. And the point I was trying to make was that this channel does not deserve any dislikes!
that's so cool that you can see the source code!
Funny enough, Battle of the Birds was the last level I did. I didn’t even know what the level was, i just completed enough of Mafia town to get Subcon, then Appalacian, so then i just ended up never beating BotB
58:14 Dude what happened?
Damn I'd be even more likely to play it if it was on the Wii U
Timeflow da bes it would sell like ass on the Wii U. On the Switch? Money maker right there.
Lots of good questions and fascinating answers. Great interview!
Incredibly entertaining video, i love it!
Holy crap! I'm gonna be addicted to A Hat in Time!
initially chapter 2 and 3 were swapped. Funny thing is I finished chapter 1 and then went to chapter 3. It was overwhelming, but it was fun to be able to skip chapter 2, because I did everything in chaptet 1 at that point.
Thanks a lot for this interview, quite insightful!
Spyro the dragon Needs a PS4 Remake! And I'm Very Happy that Crash Bandicoot is Back on PS4! :D
It has been a very good year for gaming in general, but yeah... I don't think there's a soul out there that doesn't miss Spyro...
100% Agree
i hate saying it but i think it never happens
Nicolas D. Madsen: Just wait and see!
You're in luck!
I love your love for modding, now I want to talk about cubemaps all day with ya : D
Hey Beta, do you think you can do a beta video for Resident Evil 2, 4, or 0? I’m curious as to what info you can give us for the betas of these three games
Beta64 Send these two Hat In Time videos to Jonas Kaerlev
this game looks so cool. it needs a switch release!
It's finally come out 😭👏👏👏
You Two are so great! :D
Loved that interview, so much interesting information (and great questions!)
You literally gave me ALL answeres i was looking for, thank you!
Looking really forward to the DLC´s.
...
...
...
Also, at 58:15, was that an elephant? :P (bless you)
Could you do a Beta64 video on Cuphead? There's quite a lot of beta content surrounding It!
Can you do a video of the development of Kirby Air Ride Beta?
Isn't that the audio record that used in The Ancient Gods mod?
Also, happy almost 5th anniversary
Beta64: actually now if people wish to have a programming career, they should start with python or Java. For gaming though, C++ is the way to go. You also need knowledge about somewhat about physic and math as well
yeah as long as your not like yandare dev and willing to learn to code properly, java is actually a good place to start.
What is the theme song? It's bothering me
The song used is called No More Mafia Boss in the soundtrack - it's used during Chapter 1, Act 7: The Golden Vault.
I don't fully understand what happened to the Wii U... I mean, wasn't Unreal Engine 3 fully supported on the console? Even I remember Epic suggest using this instead UE4 because the latter wasn't officially supported by them... How can be broken?
Please bring this to Switch!
This game was made in Unreal Engine 3, which the Switch can't natively support. They'd have to completely remake the game from the ground up in another engine, which I'm not exaggerating by saying it would take years and divert all of their attention from actually doing something useful with their time.
@@Ah0yKatie they did it
I know, and I've never been more happy to be wrong
@@Ah0yKatie GG
Next we need paper Mario the thousand year door beta
Hey, maybe you do legend of Zelda for the NES because there are PROTOTYPES AVAILIBLE!! Thanks to the during room floor. I'll post the link in a sec
is that EarthBound - Onett Theme at the intro :D?
Hey beta64 I forgot to tell you that my dad got super Mario sunshine like 3 weeks before it was released and I never touched it till like 3 years and then I saw a 2 of these "SOL" coins in the sewers, they look like a checkpoint thingy. I have NO idea what they are or how you use it. I used an emulator on PC but I did not find any "SOL" coins. Please tell me if you get an answer.
12:30 - 12:36 I don't understand that one. Could some wise guy explain it to me ?

Nice
58:14 WHAT was that
FYI, C++ is a TERRIBLE first choice for language learning (computer scientist here). I highly recommend Python for learning the basics!
And if you REALLY want to do game programming, C# is a lot more forgiving, and I recommend Unity as a starter engine for your first few projects (it's great for small stuff, like Jonas said).
You should do Sonic Unleashed Beta or
Ssb4 beta
Could you do a hat in time video for beta 64
Short games for me!
a hat in time 2 confirmed???
Maybe
Can you do the Sonic 1 beta?
now i wish the game was to the Nintendo switch
(my pc is to bad)
wasn't grant kirkhope supposed to have composed the music
Barsee23 grant did music and it's in the game
Only one song - the base theme for the spaceship. The rest of the soundtrack was composed by Pascal Michael Stiefel, or Plasma3Music.
You should do beta 64 of Nintendo land
do a episode on need for speed carbon!
I have never heard of this. Is it an anime?
Do the infamous sonic '06
Dang it, I can’t watch it now I have to go :(
nifty!
Handheld, if you read this, gimme a thumbs up my dude. :nice:
Put this game on Xbox one and PS4 so I don't try to play this on my poopy PC!!
do a "Beta64 - Super Mario Odyssey"
GEARS FOR BEAKFAST?
What else do you eat?
I'm your 1,000 like now!!!
"Beta 64 - Super Mario Odyssey" when?
wow technology ;)
Did he created it ALL by himself? i seriously doubt that.
Also less is more, cut to the good parts. atleast the channel could make more videos.
All of it's the good parts though haha XD
He didn't create it himself, he actually hired some artists and then stole some of their art. Nice.
The art that's used in the game for tilesets and titlecards were made by artists that were still in the team. Artists did leave the team, but they didn't use any of their art in the final game.
Do research next time, please.
Also, Jonas directed the game, but there was a team of a dozen or so people working on it.
Hi, Beta64, Would You Do a Beta64 Episode of Mario Kart Wii. Please
Do Gex
This is a robbery ⚔️🗡 we demand beta 64 spongebob battle for bikini bottom or we will sword fight and riot. *flips a table over*
If you can please do an episode on cuphead
Can you do Super Mario Odyssey?

420 likes 😏
Knowing that Jonas Kaerlev did some dirty stuff years ago, I don't really feel comfortable with this, but nice interview.
? This is news to me.
Chacu34 Source?
Community Watch he was the creator of Slag Gaming(TF2 servers which had some nice gamemodes).There was some drama with MaxofS2D(apparently he doxxed him, dunno if it's true), he neglected his servers etc. That's all I know.
theres a thread in this comment section that goes a bit more depth into it and one of the other devs is actually in that thread too
the entire dev team seem fond of kearlev so i wouldn't worry too much about the dirt of the past
Can you do Super Mario Land plz
Mr beta 64 Can you make a video demo Pokémon gold/sliver
Do beta64 of Odyssey plz
Pls do beta on Mario galaxy
do video on cuphead!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #Beta64
No
Jonas Kaerlev literally doxxed some guy, essentially stole art, and abused people in online forums by banning them, and then banning anyone who called him out on it. Luckily Jonas doesn't control your comment section, so people can actually see this. Also, he hasn't changed. He's still terrible.
edit: i originally told people to pirate it but like dont do that
Pirate it? How is that fair to the rest of the development team, if true?
sources?
The game is awesome and it doesn't deserve to be pirated honestly, but yeah Jonas Kaerlev did some ugly stuff in the past :/
ruclips.net/video/SkYOwequfMg/видео.html A re-uploaded video of Jonas addressing everything that happened. Unless you can give us credible evidence that isn't anecdotel, Maxofs2d instigated the entire situation, whined in front of everyone, and created a misunderstanding.
Even if Jonas did do that stuff, who the hell cares? I'm sure he learned from his mistakes anyway, and simply doesn't wanna tarnish his reputation. Plus, how do you know he hasn't changed? Did you talk to him? Jonas is constantly helping people in A Hat in Time's Discord server as well as addressing every ounce of criticism. The dude seems nice, very patient, and intelligent. At least he isn't as bad as Phil Fish for God sake!
Also, what about the rest of the dev team like Pascel, Jenna, or William? Those guys don't have a 'dark' past. I've even spoken to a few of them. To be frank, pirating a video game because of one person's vague past is selfish. btw nice edit
Jonas is not like that actually, I've been working with him since 2012 and he has been nothing but understanding and professional. People change and I don't think it's fair to say the game should be pirated, we worked hard on it.
Do Mario odyssey beta 64
Do cuphead beta64
Do gta 5
you know about alpha beta and demo but you don't know about trial wait you don't no trial
just search Google you did search Google am happy way be cause people don't know trial but now you know a trial happy good job any way aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmm good bay :)
No offense for the guy who is making interview,but you need to step up your game,you have low knowledge about stuff you are interviewing,do you realize how bad is that for this video?,in the beginning you are mentioning/asking him about blueprints in ue3,you din't even do your research,later on he asks you how is your knowledge on cube maps,you say basic,while i can bet it's not even on that level,i will quote one guy from speedruning and say "I would prefer if you would stay quiet!"
