Just a small thank you & update
Added 2024-04-01 22:49:15 +0000 UTCHey gamers, just wanted to post a quick thank you for all members on here, free or otherwise, to say thanks for the huge amounts of support on the new video. I already made a tweet but I wanted to post something here for those who joined up after the video. It’s really humbling to have people give a shit about my stuff and who are willing to support me, in any way at all.
I’ve said this before but I do have two stretch goals on Patreon for total members. Regardless of whether they’re paid or free. If we hit 1,000 members I will make a full retrospective on AC3 and if we hit 2,000 I will do the same for Valhalla (Valhalla Deceived Me is the working title, but I scrapped it in mid 2021). They’re just fun goals to work towards and to give me a reason to grow the Patreon outside of just supporting my channel monetarily.
I also wanted to just throw out a quick update too, on plans for Patreon & plans for videos.
I have another small Patreon video in the wings that I’m just finishing the editing on where I look back over the marketing of AC1-AC3 and analyse where they improved, lacked and just sort of wax poetic about it nostalgically for a while. It’s low effort, but it’s fun. I also drank half a bottle of wine while recording it so, if you’re of age, maybe grab yourself a drink for that one too lmao.
I have notes of a few other smaller Patreon videos to varying degrees of effort that I think will be interesting nonetheless. My goal is to build up a catalogue of Patreon only videos for people here, to make stuff that in years gone by might have been a main channel video or an advent calendar video and make it for Patreon alone, to really invest in this smaller tight nit space to fund the larger projects. I think it’ll be a fun endeavour.
I have another scripted project I’m working on too. I’ve had a script finished for months now and it’s a slightly more personal one that is pretty experimental in a lot of ways, not really like anything I’ve made before but I find it deeply interesting to talk about. I’m hoping to have that done this month and I’ll of course put it out here early to see what people think before I throw it up on YouTube. I’m not sure if people will take to it, but it’s meaningful to me so, I’ll make it. The support here allows me to be a tad more creative and experimental and I appreciate that.
I think the next major project I’m working on will be for Cyberpunk 2077 which will be a deep dive (once I’ve played it) into what the game means. People keep talking about the patches and bug fixes and new features and while that’s great and all, I feel it’s overshadowing what the game is really trying to say and I want to cut to the heart of it and provide my own analysis and thoughts on what Cyberpunk is truly about in as much depth as I possibly can, more than just talk about “oh it’s cool they added car customisation and the fixed glitches”, which I find tired and shallow and not giving the game the effort it deserves.
That’s about it for now, I have plenty ideas in the pipeline and I hope you gamers will continue to stick around to see what I’ve got cooking. Thanks again folks, from the bottom of my heart. Looking forward to the future, can’t wait to share more stuff! 💚
