Hey all! So we've got a video for you that's waiting for approval. It's another one that's based on an original interview, so it's going to take some time to get Baldi's Basics creator to sign off on it.
The video is functionally done, but might change slightly once we get feedback before release. Enjoy!

$5+ patrons will have already seen this a couple of weeks ago, but here's our latest video! Magnolia is wonderful, and she was kind enough to give us an interview, which we storified.
We've had some less than ideal news today. The website that Kotor writes for professionally is shutting down, which means that his job no longer exists. This probably means you'll be hearing more specifically from him in future videos as he'll be taking over more of the running of the channel. This is also a perf...

Have you guys played this? It's lovely! And we did a video on it!
Sorry, this is going up at 20 past midnight, and we're exhausted. Not got much else to say...
Oh, we've got a new microphone now, paid for by you lovely people! Thanks so much for that! The audio quality has never been terrible, but it's always been a bit amateur, so hopefully the professional grade recording stuff we've got now will be an improvement. If nothing else it should mean that audio will be easier to edit, which...

Hey all!
So last week's video is still awaiting final approval from the artist that we've interviewed (spoiler alert: it's someone from Undertale, and it's up already for the $5+ Patrons), so in the meantime, here's this week's video!
Thanks all of you for being such fantastic backers. Life has been really busy for us lately as BretonStripes has been working all over the country so getting videos made has been more difficult.
It's only thanks to your support that we can continue to...

Hey all! Here's this week's video, nice and early.
Or maybe it's a day late. Either way, it's here for you. This is awaiting final approval from Magnolia Porter, the artist who's featured in the video, so there might be tiny changes in the final thing.
This might go public today, or tomorrow, or next week. We're not sure yet, it'll depend on what Magnolia has to say. Either way, it's here for you now.
Love,
BretonStripes and Kotor
Hi all! Here's our latest video!
This isn't a game that everyone has heard of, but it's got a really interesting story behind it.
Sorry this wasn't ready sooner in the week. The plan, believe it or not, was to have it ready by Wednesday. Alas, BretonStripes' work schedule is still nuts, so we only barely got it done.
Just as a reminder, we're accepting question submissions for our Q&A. We, uh, only have one question submitted thus far. We might need a few more!
Be cool! W...

So apparently we've made it to $300 a month! As per our goals, this means we're going to record a special Q&A podcast of sorts for you guys.
Feel free to message us questions, either on here or via Kotor's email at arandomsheep@gmail.com. We'll answer at least one question per backer, so long as they're not too personal (ie if you ask our bank details, we'll probably skip that).
We just wanted to say a super big thank you to all of you. You're absolutely wonderful...

Hey everyone!
So we're all really sick this week, with various ailments. This is not fun, and since BretonStripes has been working away from home all week, there was less time for video making than normal.
Sorry this isn't early. Here's our latest creation, we hope you like it. We also want to take this chance to say that we really, really appreciate your support - without you, we might not keep making videos on weeks like this one!
Thanks, you're the greatest!

Hey $5+ supporters!
So Kotor's been wanting to do a new kind of video for a while, where he goes to pretty places and films himself drawing. Kind of like a Bob Ross The Joy of Painting kind of thing, but for video games.
With the leak of the Gold and Silver beta ROM (and all those cool new old Pokemon), Kotor finally got up, went for a walk, and drew some stuff. This is a pilot episode for potentially a weekly or fortnightly series, but before it goes out to everyone, we'd like your verd...

Hey all!
Here's our latest video, all about the voice of Princess Zelda!
Hope you enjoy it.
Just as a head's up, next week is BretonStripes' birthday, AND she has three days of work, so we might have to come up with something different for next week's video. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Hey all! Here's our latest video, about one of the artists who worked on Cuphead! We found Tina's story through the awesome Girls on Games podcast (there'll be a link in the description of the video by the time it's fully edited together, but it'd not there yet for any early bird $5+ subscribers, sorry about that).
Not sure if there'll be a video next week - we're off on a family holiday to Disneyland (Paris) so we might not have something together.

Hey! Here's our latest video! This probably would have been really timely if we'd made it a week ago, but now most of the story has been shared far and wide across the internet! D'oh!
This one is going up a day early for $5+ supporters, and we're hoping to get a bit of a buffer built up so we're not quite so close to the wire anymore. Last week's video suffered for being a bit later. D'ouble D'oh!

So for the next video, we'll be talking about the creation of Pokémon Red and Green. This has meant recreating the sprite-art for some of the more derpy-looking Pokémon. Thought you'd like to see them!
Thanks so much for your continued support! You're awesome!
Running late. Here is video. Please enjoy. Love!

Nintendo has been keeping the second half of a Labo developer interview hostage until tomorrow, so in the absence of enough material to make a video about cardboard yet, here's our thoughts on the significance of the new God of War.
This is early for the $5+ patrons, enjoy!
Hi all, Kotor here! I realise it's been a while since I've posted any art here, so please enjoy this cute little image from an upcoming video. Personally I enjoy this one, Kratos just looks so uncharacteristically happy!
Hope you're having a great day! See you soon!
Hey all! Slightly delayed, but here's our latest video! Enjoy!

Sorry there's no proper VGST this week, we're still recovering from the exhausting effort involved with our April Fools video. BretonStripes still has knotted muscles from being hunched over for two days straight drawing Yuji Naka jumping out of a boat!
2018-04-06 20:15:00 +0000 UTC View Post
You might not all be Persona 5 fans, but Kotor is playing it at the moment, and he has opinions.
A more traditional video is coming on Sunday (it's also really not traditional, because of April Fools Day!) so stay tuned for that.
Thanks, you're awesome!

Hey all! Here's the latest video! Sorry for missing an update last week, things were super busy with BretonStripes' work, and Kotor was with Baby Gamer all week!
This is going up a day early for the $5+ crowd, at the time of writing it doesn't have a thumbnail or captions, but they'll be up by tomorrow.
Thanks so much, you guys are awesome!

Hey all!
Apologies to the $5+ crowd that this isn't earlier; this has been a crazy week, and next week will be nuts too.
This video almost certainly won't be a hugely popular one, but on balance, now seemed like the right time to tell the story of Owlboy, an indie game that took over 10 years to make it onto home consoles. If you've played it, chances are you love it, and if you haven't played it, perhaps you'll learn something interesting about this game along the way.
Just as a h...

Psst! Here's a super secret early version of our next video!
We're hoping this will go out tomorrow, but we're waiting on feedback from Satchely, the artist for Doki Doki Literature Club, who was kind enough to provide us with an interview.
Some things might change in the final video depending on what she has to say, but for you, the $5 backers, here's a sneaky look at the video in its current state before it goes live tomorrow!

Hey all! This has been yet another busy week for us, but here's our new video! Hope you like it!

Hi all!
Sorry for the delay in getting this to you, it's taken us a while to drag out the file from the old hard drive!
Thank you all so much for your support over the past few months (wow, it's coming up on a year since we launched this Patreon!), we really appreciate it. Now also seems like a great time to say a special thank you to all the new Patrons we've gained over the past couple of days, we're grateful for your help and support!

Hey all!
So here's something a little different from us. We've heard feedback from people in the comments section who note that we only ever cover happy stories, and we wanted to give our take on a story of a game that went wrong.
Hopefully you like it, we think it works pretty well, but we're willing to be proven wrong!
This is going up a couple of hours early for the $5+ supporters, hope you like it!

Hey all! So the first of these videos ended up being pretty popular, with a lot of people asking for a sequel. We didn't want to force our daughter to play more of the game in order to make another video, but when she wanted to pick it up again of her own volition, we figured it was worth turning the story into another video.
Here's hoping you like it! This is going up nice and early on Wednesday for $5+ backers, enjoy!

Hi all! As promised, here's the outtakes and bloopers from our PUBG video. This video was a lot of work to make, and as the outtakes prove, the moral of the story is that we probably shouldn't make videos while sick.

Hi all!
So, the behind-the-scenes video for PUBG is still in the works, it's just not something we've had time to finish off during the holiday period. Sorry for the delay, the audio is ready, it just needs some text to accompany it so that everything makes sense.
This week, we have a short little video in a sketchy style that we've been undecided on releasing for a while. Here's hoping it goes down well, as if people don't much like it, we might just remove it from our archive entirely....

Hey all, sorry this isn't early for the $5+ supporters.
It's been a busy few weeks. By all rights, we should have given up on doing this video, and saved it for the new year. Now seemed like the perfect time for this message, though, and we couldn't shake the feeling that someone, somewhere out there, needed to hear it.
Here's hoping this video doesn't end up flopping because we're posting it at a bad time.
Because we're all sick, we had a pretty hard time making this video, and it...
