Derek Lieu - Game Trailer Editor

I was interviewed about how to make trailers for visual novel games by this YouTube channel which is exclusively about making VN games! In my opinion, the key for VNs is to focus on story, premise, and characters, because that's what the VN player is looking to for the game's differentiator.

I spent a summer interning at Cartoon Network on their FusionFall team, and I spent a good couple of weeks cobbling together these character previews - I didn't think I'd ever see these all again!

Remember the end of Death of a Salesman when Happy Loman vows to succeed in the same business that killed his father? Anyhoo, I'm pretty sure my video game is gonna do fine financially.

Hey
#gamedev
friends, I'm pretty sure I'm cribbing this UI design from something, but I can't tell what? Can you name some other games that have this UI style/color palette?

If anyone can spare a few dollars, I'm participating in a Fun Run/Walk for charity this Juneteenth. I'm only aiming for a $100 goal at this point, and I'd appreciate every cent.
