Celeste has taken the world by storm in 2018. The dash-based old school platformer is a fresh take on the genre. Matt Makes Games took home the IGF Audience Award at the GDCAs last week, and we caught up with Celeste's lead developer Matt Thorson to chat about the game. Matt let us know some of the influences for the story as well as the gameplay and also let everyone know that they should do it for Shacknews. Please take a look at the video interview for more.

For more videos, including gameplay and interviews, visit the Shacknews and Gamerhub.tv YouTube channels.
