How Celeste Was Made and Inspired by Real-Life Rock Climbing

This Celeste documentary details the development of the indie 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.
