- arcadeheroes.com - In the video "How do arcade operators decide what to buy?" (link below), I mentioned that I would do a video about arcade game design - that would be this video here!
What makes arcade games truly stand apart from their console & mobile counterparts? What makes an arcade game truly worthwhile and what can make it earn? How come attempts to bring console games straight to the arcade (without changes) usually fails? Do graphics really matter? Let's find out.

As I am not an arcade game designer, I asked several within the industry for insight on how they design games. They are:
Patrick Michael - Head of R&D at Sega Amusements International
Shinichi Ogasawara (Oga Shi) - Sega AM3. He worked on games including Lost World: Jurassic Park, Gunblade NY, Rail Chase 2, The Maze of Kings, Let's Go Jungle & Island, and many more with his most recent production being Mission: Impossible Arcade.
Eric Chung - CEO, exA-Arcadia. He's directly involved in the development of every game being released on his platform.
Liam Cary - LAI Games - Outnumbered, Virtual Rabbids: The Big Ride, Let's Bounce, Pinata, Color Match & more
Eugene Jarvis - CEO, Raw Thrills, formerly Williams, Midway & Atari. I did ask for his feedback but since he didn't respond, I'm just using a clip of video from an interview I did with him here: • Talking Arcades With E...
I also did a very insightful interview with him about the development of the Cruis'n series, which includes plenty of talk on the challenges of game development in the 1990s: • Eugene Jarvis Talks Cr...

Another great in depth video! Thank you Adam for keeping the news coming out for the arcade scene.
Two things I look for in retro style arcade games or emulations;
1. Persistent high score between sessions on the play screen. The way Pac-Man Museum wipes the high scores in Super-Pac drives me up a wall, bettering your own high score is half the fun.
2. That neon-glow look. Namco collections and Midway Arcade Treasures simply don't even try and replicate that warm "Tron" look we experienced in arcade rooms. That's one reason I love Geometry Wars 2 Retro Evolved so much, is they nailed the cool neon glow by insane bloom oversaturation, and it is glorious.
This was excellent and very well thought out, it is great to hear from actual operators and the business and design philosophy behind arcades, which you very rarely see on RUclips, or at least they tend to get buried in the landslide of arcade-related content. I never really gave too much thought to the fact that most of the people who design arcade games these days would have been too young to really "grow up" in the arcade scene of the 80s and 90s like I did.
Loved, loved, loved SF Rush 2049.
I didn't work at an arcade but I still competed for the high score with the employees there.
Somehow... almost any high score I beat was itself beaten seemingly overnight lol.
It was a great game until people discovered the respawn glitch to wreck legit high scores. Unless you knew and were willing to do those tricks, those times could not be beat... but there was no fun in that.
I am fortunate for your contribution to spreading arcade video game design philosophy far and wide thanks to your networking. You and Indie Arcade Wave would be great introductions to beginning developers that want to make games for coin op space.
Likely to make reference to your video since I want to try conveying coin op game design to beginning developers through slideshow presentations.
Also have to give good props for Exa Arcadia to really stepping into their viewpoints of arcade video game design being suited for arcade coin op because games on the consumer side tend to favor longer games with drag than short and intense games.
Steel Assault felt quite like a great challenging game and respect's the player's time, but not being "long enough" makes it a poor fit for home consumer game stores like Steam and others.
I somewhat remember you watching a few Electric Underground videos because I shared them and they share a sentiment like yours from an arcade-style player perspective.
Thank you.
I'd like the same vide but one pinball, there's some really cool new ones out there I really love the Godzilla one
I didn't cover pinball since it's a bit of a different beast but it could be insightful to find out from some pinball devs how they go about their craft.
@@arcadeheroes_coinop yes would be really cool to find out how they come up with modes for theme of the game and shot layouts and and just their insight on the industry as a whole
Also, can you put in the chapter marks to make it easier for viewers to select parts for easier referencing?
Yes - was planning on adding those, I just got sidetracked. Coming soon
