Watch Retry: Sekiro #2 – 24 Hours Early!

Hey Early Access patrons,

Episode 2 of Retry: Sekiro is now live, just for you – a day early and ad-free!

This week we've got a bell that lets us travel back in time. Sounds great, but the past doesn't welcome us with open arm and everything's on fire.

We're getting really into Sekiro, and we hope you are, too, whether you've played it or are experiencing it for the very first time with us!

A Brief Tour of the RKG Studio in Pictures

Hey lovely RKG patrons,

We just wanted to give you a little photographic tour of the RKG Studio. We moved in back in September, but wanted to give you a better idea of what it looks like and how we're making progress in the space.

There's still a lot to do, and a lot to figure out. The initial priority was to get up-and-running, and then it was to make the best space to shoot Retry: Sekiro, without taking months to build a professional studio.

Hey RKG Producers,

Here's the private link for the first-ever Producer stream in the new format.

If you don't know what we're talking about, we've refreshed how we're doing live-streaming this year. You can find out more in this post, but basically we're replacing the weekly 30-minute Post Show on Crowdcast with a longer exclusive stream over on YouTube. Just for you, our Producers.

Changes to RKG Live and the Post Show in 2020

RKG Live

When we started RKG we’d never really livestreamed as a team, and we’ve learned a lot.

We think the best streams we’ve done are the ones where there’s been a bigger occasion – Halloween, Dumble Finchy, or E3 – or when the game’s been just on in the background, like Fortnite, and we’ve got to hang out with you properly and really focus on the chat.

We’re taking what we learned into the second year of RKG Live.

January's Early Access Show: SPOOKIES: Outlast – Ep. 4

RKG patrons,

Here's the final episode of this month's Early Access show. These episodes are just for you for the entirety of the month, and then they'll start rolling out weekly on YouTube.

We couldn't do this without your support, but we also want to work hard on making your patron subscription even better value. We hope the monthly Early Access show does just that!

And in case you missed them, here are the other episodes...

January's Early Access Show: SPOOKIES: Outlast – Ep. 3

If you thought this game was just about deranged lunatics chasing us around a mad asylum – well, yes, you'd be right. But things are about to get much weirder, as we leave head outside.

January's Early Access Show: SPOOKIES: Outlast – Ep. 2

Here’s the second episode of this month’s Early Access show: SPOOKIES: Outlast.

We’re done with the asylum (for now), and are heading into the dank and dirty sewers below.

This show is just for you, Early Access patrons, for the entirety of January. It'll then start rolling out weekly on YouTube in February.

And just in case you missed them, here are the other episodes!

January's Early Access Show: SPOOKIES: Outlast – Ep. 1

Early Access patrons!

Here is it is. The first episode of this January's Early Access show. 

You can watch all four episodes of SPOOKIES: Outlast whenever you want, before they start rolling out to YouTube throughout February.

We'll be posting each episode separately on Patreon for ease, but here are links to the other episodes too...

Welcome to RKG: Year Two!

A year ago we did a scary thing. 

We quit full-time jobs that we loved to do something new. The community we’d built over the three-and-a-half years came out to support us, making that decision a little less scary. 

If you're reading this, that definitely means you.

We launched Retry, the successor to the show we know you loved, and finally tackled Dark Souls 2. We podcasted, live-streamed, beat Dark Souls on a transatlantic flight, join...

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Thank you so much for your support throughout this year. We couldn't be more thankful.

We hope you have a great time over the holidays, whether you're spending it with families, by yourself (remember you're a slug, so never really alone), or don't even celebrate it at all.

Lots of festive loves,

Ending Dumble Finchy's Story Is Now Live!

Hey everyone,

We're now live for... well, for as long as it takes to take our magical Finchy through the DLC and the endgame (we've still got all of the Demon Ruins, Izalith, Catacombs, Tomb of the Giants, and Gwyn left to do). So plenty left.

We'll be playing until it's all done in the last stream of the year. We're making festive, have a bunch of ronies ready to go, too.

How To Be Summoned for This Week's Dark Souls Livestream

This Thursday we'll be concluding Dumble Finchy's Dark Souls quest.

If that means nothing to you, earlier in the year we set out to see how far we could get in 7 hours in Dark Souls. It was all to celebrate and mark the third anniversary of Prepare To Try, and everything that brought us to this point.

This Thursday – for the last RKG Live of the year – we'll be finishing his story. Yes, that means all the DLC and the endgame.
