This Hades documentary details the development of the indie game Hades and goes behind the scenes of its creation. Discover how Supergiant Games, the creators of Bastion, Transistor and Pyre, prioritized a transparent and inclusive development process before they even had the idea for their first roguelike dungeon-crawler. The documentary also explores all the design decisions that Supergiant Games made and how Theseus was originally going to be the protagonist instead of Zagreus.
It also takes a close look at the inspirations for the ink art style and why the team choose to introduce more diversity among the Olympian characters. Implementing a cohesive narrative within the roguelike genre also presented lots of challenges that the studio found clever solutions for. Furthermore, it explores how the developers used Early Access to create the best possible version of Hades.

This channel needs more subs
Honestly man, you deserve more credit. I love every video you make, and the quality of your content deserves a million subscriber audience at least. I know you’ll get there one day, so keep up the great work!
Supergiant is great!
Been following Supergiant games since Bastion and i am so excited for their future releases ❤️💕
Your documentaries never cease to entertain glen keep it up
so when is the DLC?
Always excited to see a new video released on your channel, great job!

delectable
I really like how you change your editing style based on the style of the game you're covering, and it always looks great!
I looked at your subscriber count, misread it as 760k, and STILL thought you were underrated.
I watched most of your videos and haven't regreted even one, please continue uploading at this high quality.
If you count No Man’s Sky as indie, which is understandable if you don’t, the development of that game and the post launch updates is pretty interesting and could make a good video. Love ya
This game should have won game of the year in 2020, but alas it was tough competition. I could not imagine the game featuring Theseus for the whole thing, makes sense they couldn't get it to work. Good video as always my man, keep up the good work.
Your videos are so good its hard to believe you have under 100k subs
My wish came true <3
That was a incredible video
Dude, your content is masterpiece! Can't imagine the amount of effort put into it! You're amazing
When i see a new glen video, i stop doing whatever i am doing and just watch it
Great video. After this one it's only logical to make one about dead cells since these games are compared so much.
Always enjoy your videos, can’t wait to see what other games you dive into!
Awesome video as always 😁
:)))))
Disco Elysium next? 👀
You look at Hades and you think "teams and teams of countless individuals". And then you show how much creative genius comes from only a couple dozen people. I loved watching this, Glen. Thank you! 🙂
your channel is very fun to watch, it is a unique content. S2
Hi! Your videos are amazing 👍I would like to see a future video about Hyper Light Drifter. Keep up the good work👌
Amazing video Glen. You should take a look at Supraland, this is more of a game recommendation than a video suggestion, but a video could be interesting since the game was made by one guy. The game is on all past gen platforms, but the steam version is the best in my opinion.
Hello again
Hope your week is going well
I wish I could like hades but the characters look like they were drawn by Tumblr users and they're br*tish, not a fan of the gameplay too
I loved this history! I just started playing last month and wasn't aware of almost any of this! Great video.
It's a shame that they changed the races of the Gods in their portrayal, feels disrespectful and there's not a lot of good art made with European Gods nowadays.
Good video Glen! It's kind of reassuring that even games with critical acclaim undergo massive writing changes. Currently writing a story for a project and we decided to change course. I know it's part of the process, but it can feel daunting sometimes. Been meaning to leave comments on your other videos, just keep forgetting lol.
Crosscode just recently finished everything it wanted to do in almost 10 years, and being crowdfunded and supported by fans I'm sure it counts as an indie game!
Yes!!!!
One of your best ones yet! Hades was such a thrilling game to follow through early access and the art style is just out of this world. I couldn't wait to share this video with my friends!~
Please make a video on Inside's Development
It would be interesting to cover Another Metroid returns 2. The guy made ten years to develop it. He made an amazing job better than official Nintendo releases so much that many people see it as almost canon. Plus he was hired as a level designer to Ori and the will of wisps which as we know is one of the best Metroidvanias out there. His story is truly an interesting one
