How Celeste Was Made and Inspired by Real Life Rock Climbing

This Celeste documentary details the development of the video game Celeste and goes behind the scenes of its creation. Discover how Celeste started out as a simple PICO-8 game that was developed in four days and grew to the beloved indie platformer we know today. Once developers Maddy Thorson and Noel Berry were done with the PICO-8 game they decided to assemble a team to expand it into a fully-fledged game.

The documentary also explores all the design decisions that the studio Matt Makes Games made and how the story of Celeste is very much a reflection of director Maddy Thorson’s personal experience with anxiety. Lastly, the documentary also takes a look at what’s next for the studio.
