(Small) January 2025 Update

Hey! Just checking in to say thanks to everyone who has joined since I posted the documentary, and really, thanks to all of you for your continued support in helping me making bigger and better videos and projects (especially in the case of the documentary, which got demonetized so Patreon is my only source of income).

I've been taking a short break since posting the documentary, but am back now and have a lot planned. I once again have two "appendices" for the documentary, one where I cover the three-year-long process of making it (the making of the making of LEGO Island?), and another where I showcase a bunch of interesting footage/interview bits that didn't make it into the final video (either for timing/pacing or because there just wasn't a good place to include it).

I also have some more Vanilla stuff to talk about, which sadly has been somewhat on the backburner as I finished the documentary, but I'm very much looking forward to resuming work on that. I probably still won't be streaming development much for the time being, but there will definitely be another Patreon update about it all coming soon.

And of course I need to finally make a proper video about the LEGO Island decompilation reaching 100%! That will be the next "main channel" upload, and it'll probably be a fairly standard no-frills video (i.e. no detective subplots) covering how the decomp went and what the future of it looks like. That being said, I am also in the process of cutting together a few bigger "productions" that I don't want to spoil just yet.

Thanks again to all of you for providing me the means to do all of this. It really is a dream come true to make stuff I love for a living. Hope you have a great rest of January and see you all again soon!

Now that so many at LEGO has seen this doc, I'm sure you'll be among the first they reach out to in that case :D

Just wanted to say that you did an amazing job on the documentary! Joined to send some cash your way for it. I actually wanted to drop more in a one off payment, have you considered having a paypal/kofi or is it possible to do that in Patreon?

The LEGO Island documentary was incredibly well-researched and put together - keep up the good work! I actually joined the LEGO Group (in the LEGO Game division even 😁) last october, and I can tell you that the video has been thoroughly shared left and right in our channels.

Why did it get demonetized? I hate YouTube

I signed up after I heard about the demonetisation. I've really enjoyed your videos.

Logan Moore

Sucks that your magnum opus got demonetized, it really is a very high quality production documentary. That being said, i can't wait for what the future holds and I'll be looking forward for anything Vanilla-related!

Eduardo Meli

very happy for you to find places to stick detective subplots in all videos

Rachel Wolfe

Can’t wait, just make sure you don’t stress yourself out too much :3

It bothers me that despite my day job literally being software development that I still feel positively smooth-brained seeing you talk about decomp, but I'm very much looking forward to it. Also the Lego Island documentary was excellent - thank you so much for making it. I only ever played Lego Island round a friends' house when I was a child, and the only ever owned Lego Island 2 which is rather different shall we say.

> no detective subplots well then what’s the point? unsubbed /s legit though, you’re doing awesome work and it’s genuinely exciting when you upload something or stream etc so keep doing what you’re doing as you’re doing it fantastically 💖
