Update 2/25/2019

I've put payments for this campaign on hold for this month. Come March, you should not see any charges from your pledge here. While this project I've been working on has been amazing and I still feel incredibly lucky to have gotten it, I won't lie: It has taken far, far longer than I was originally led to believe it would, and the channel and this Patreon has definitely suffered for it. It's still a really great project that I am very excited to see come to light, but to imply that it hasn't ...

Update and Refund Offer for January

Hey ya'll,

I'm going to be completely straight with you: Basically no work happened for Codex this month. There was a lot of stuff I had planned, a lot of stuff that I was going to work with other people to make happen, but each of them fell through for reasons that were all uniformally respectable and unpredictable. Was just kind of a perfect storm of life just sorta happening all at once. Additionally, I've personally been hard at work basically non-stop on that secret project I menti...

Hey Ya'll (Update 12/29/18)

Just wanted to touch base and let you know where we're at for this month. This has been one of the busiest and most productive months I've had all year, but I'm also aware it doesn't quite look like it. I currently have 3 complete scripts totally done and ready to go, two of which I'll be linking below for any one who wants a sneak peak. However, as far as fully edited videos go, there most likely won't be a new video before the end of the month. Will be something very, very soon, but the odd...

Hope ya'll enjoy, there will be more before the end of the month. Hope all my fellow Americans have a great Thanksgiving today. Love you all, peace <3

#ThankYouPatrons

If it sounds all the same to ya'll, I'm just going to speak directly and hope it comes out well. Sound good?

This channel has been going for a while now, as has this Patreon. Back when I started all of this, I was simultaneously super overconfident in my abilities, yet deeply concerned about where this would go (or, for that matter, if it would go anywhere). Whenever I rewatch those early videos now though, it's clear to me at least that my confidence was deeply misplaced. Maybe I'll stil...

I Made A Thing For A Thing I Love!

Hey ya'll, I edited a trailer for a game I really love (and have talked about previously on the channel)! I'm super proud of it and it would mean a lot to me if you'd check it out. I put a lot of work into the trailer itself and the game is genuinely fantastic. Think Bloodborne + Bayonetta + Yume Nikki. In other words, it melds several of my favorite games together in an amazing way. Please be sure to check it out!  

(Also, for the sake of complete disclosure, I was paid for my work ...

Update 07/27/18

Hey all!

Just wanted to take a second and touch base. I'll be dropping a new video tomorrow. Was hoping to have two videos out before the end of the month, but the second one became, well, bigger is the wrong word. It became something that I really wanna make sure I do right and, as a result, I'm not rushing. That being said, expect it within the first few days of August.

Also, have a small personal project I've been working on that is finished but I can't show you quite yet. That'...

We've officially hit 10K subs!

I got nothing to add to this, I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for your support, earnestly and genuinely. I literally could not have gotten as far as I did without you. See ya'll soon <3

Quick Update 6/26/2018

Hey yall,

Just wanted to give you a heads up: New video should be done within the next couple days. Officially done with recording and now just have to move onto editing. Took longer then I expected, but I'm really excited for this one.

Likewise, I haven't forgotten about the vlog for May, that will be out before the end of the month.

Also, I'm currently planning on reading off the names of every patron at the end of this video as a way to thank you all for your help, feels like t...

Update 04/08/2018

Hey ya'll, just wanted to touch base and give you a heads up as to where I'm at. Things are officially settled on my end so I can finally focus in on getting things done. In addition, by this time next week, I'll have a new computer sitting on my desk which will make editing SOOOOO much easier as well as allow me to start deep diving into After Effects to up the video quality even more. Plus, I'll stream PC games once again, so that'll be sick. 

As of right now, I'm working on the script ...

Update, Apology, and Promise

Hey ya'll,

I'm just going to open this up by ripping the bandaid off: There is not going to be a video for this month. To that end, I am offering refunds to all who desire them and extending an apology for all involved. I'd really hoped to get a video out, but things just continued to pile up. Suffice to say, this has been one of the most hectic months of my life and, while I am not attempting to justify my inability to deliver this month, I would like to explain so that you know what's going ...

When Do We Review Games? // Codex Entry

Gonna post this in full tomorrow, but figure the least I owe ya'll is an early link. Also, going to be making a short update video within the next couple days to touch base with everyone here, as well as the rest of my subs. I'm sorry for being really spotty with uploading lately, but I can promise it'll be picking up again soon, and I thank you so, so much for sticking with me through this mess time. You're all the best <3

Year End Wrap Up

Hey all,

Put together a written article to just quickly give my general feelings on how gaming in 2017 played out. Ideally, I would have liked this to have been a full video, but circumstances have made that a little more than challenging. Those of you who follow me on Twitter or frequent the Discord already know what's up, but for those of you who don't, the motherboard on my primary computer died the exact day I finished the No More Heroes video. That, in and of itself, isn't too bi...

An Open Letter to Tal Raviv and Patreon

Hey all, I know I've been quiet lately, new video will be out by Monday at the latest. In the meantime, I've written an open letter to Patreon in responses to the recent payment changes.

While we're on the subject, I want to take the chance to say that, as always, if contributing to me adds any amount of stress to your financial situation, there is no hard feelings in you backing out, especially in lieu of the recent changes to how payments are being handled. I understand how difficult it...

Update 11/24/17

Hey all,

I mentioned this on Twitter and in the Discord, but I wanna make sure everyone knows directly: For about the past week I've basically been in bed with what I THINK is food poisoning. Voice was completely boned from coughing (among other things) and couldn't get out from under a blanket because even a 90 degree Fahrenheit room felt like an icy hell. Needless to say, slowed down production. However, I'm happy to say that I'm about 95% better, still a bit of coughing, but that's about it...
