Update

Hey guys & girls, just figured i'd let you know what i've been up to these past few days - I'm currently working on a really comprehensive lore video. It'll likely be titled "Dark Souls 2's Ending: Explained", and we'll work backwards from the ending to explain the various main characters and their motives. It's a huge task, and it's definitely not something I want to rush.. I hope to have it done in the next week, and hopefully i'll manage to put something else out during that time. I c...

Exclusive Soulsong Snippet

Hey everyone! Here's a (very, very) early look at one of the songs you'll likely see on the channel in the next few months. http://youtu.be/7zIYFGLbkfs I really have to emphasise that it's a very early product, open to change. The artist didn't make it with sharing in mind - it exists for me to get an idea of tone and voice for the piece. That said, it makes me really excited for the future. I have a few artists who are ful...

NEW VIDEO - 10 Things You Missed in Things Betwixt (NG+)

We're probably going to be covering Majula & Heide's Tower next, then I'll move forward with Story Mode! If this video doesn't do great, then I might not do Heide's Tower since there aren't many "things to miss" there. Let me know what you thought of the new microphone! I'm still messing with the settings, positioning & noise removal, so expect it to sound even better in the coming weeks! Cheers everyone

Spent the $1000 from the first milestone goal!

This is the Electro-Voice RE320. After a lot of research I settled on this microphone (& a bunch of other rigging) and it delivers. Oh man how it delivers. I replaced my Blue Snowball, which was alright - but the sound was flat & tinny compared to the warm, full-bodied voice this thing captures. It also captures little-no background noise, and the recording space in front of the microphone is like a little exclusive bubble. I'm working on a few videos tonight, so hopefully i'll be abl...

March 2014 Patreon supported

Thank you so much for the support this month!

What videos are you making next?

I'm going to be working on two more "10 things" videos covering Things Betwixt & Heide's Tower of Flame. They shouldn't take me long, and I really think it'll help me achieve my goal of exploring the entire game with you guys :) This time you'll see more of Spaceman as he explores these areas (I love this headpiece so much I don't know why)

NEW VIDEO - 10 Things You Missed in the Forest of the Fallen Giants

Let me know how many you knew! I'm going to be making these as a short supplementary to the Story Mode episodes, because they're fun & engaging.

Two Early Videos

Sorry guys, had upload troubles last night. Here's some unlisted links! I'll be going public with them in 12 hours or so - Dark Souls 2 Lore: Forest of the Fallen Giants: http://youtu.be/C_9wrj50g18 10 Things You Missed: The Forest of the Fallen Giants: http://youtu.be/gsKLmCK_rTA

Two new videos will be uploaded in the next 6 hours!

We have one new episode of Story Mode (Forest of the Fallen Giants) being uploaded right now, and it's going to be uploaded alongside a "Things you Missed in the Forest of the Fallen Giants" video. I've wanted to upload a "discovery" series for a while, and i've finally settled on a way to do it! I hope you all enjoy. P.S. I found another Singer/Songwriter/Artist who seems keen to produce for the channel! Very excited.

Milestones

Hey guys! $4k. Your generosity and belief in my channel knows no bounds! I didn't expect to get this level of support - but I've planned for it and I'm definitely rethinking my goals as our page here continues to grow. I've always wanted to align my brand with more "premium", "professional" content, and that's what I'm getting closer and closer to. These past few weeks i've been busy talking to musicians about working together on more Soulsongs, and after hours of communication those plans a...

Unlisted Videos:

Hey guys! So I recently did a few "beginner's guide" type videos for Namco Bandai, but they are only 2 minutes long each and not really good enough to be made public on my channel. I rendered and uploaded them all together, and the link is here if you want to watch them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwy4PWRkQsg In the future this sort of thing will usually only go out to the $10 patrons and above, but I felt...

Prepare to Cry Trailer: Beginnings & Ashes

This video will be made public in about 12 hours. Feel free to share before it goes live. I attempt to set the scene of Dark Souls 2, conveying what it must be like to be an undead in this world, and setting up the idea that the world is going through an endless cycle of life and death, just like the undead are. Enjoy!

We hit the $3k Milestone!

As usual, I can't express how much this means. As we continue to exceed my expectations, I become increasingly excited for the content I'll be able to invest in. I'm reaching out to people left and right, and hopefully I stumble upon a really amazing potential project soon. You're all a huge part of that. Thank you, so much. As some sort of thanks, here's the next video (currently unlisted)! Usually this would be reserved for $3 Patrons, but I feel the need to reward you all. Prepare to Cry ...

NEW VIDEO - Dark Souls 2 Lore: Heide's Tower of Flame

Hey patrons! This new format allows me to explain, speculate, explore and discover the differences between NG and NG+. I really like the concept, so let me know what you think. Prepare to Cry comes tomorrow..I'll be sending out an early link for it soon :D

Prepare to Cry is coming soon!

I'm currently working on the first Prepare to Cry video, and it's coming together really well. It's going to establish the world of Drangleic, and your role as a cursed undead. I finished the game the other day..and it's a goldmine for Prepare to Cry. I can't wait to explore all of these stories. The next video will be out in the next 48 hours, most likely earlier. The Prepare to Cry episode will follow 24 hours after that. I'll work on getting an early link for most of you guys!

Remembering the early days

Patreon reminds me of the early days on YouTube, where I could reply to everyone and have interaction with people who cared about my content. A tight-knit community. It feels really good to have that back again, in some form. I hope other creators pick up this platform.

We hit the $2000 milestone!

I'm now in the process of reaching out to artists & songwriters. I have a lot in mind, and I'll be keeping you guys up to date here! Also: If you know any singer/songwriter/musicians who might be interested in producing for us - let me know. Preferably with a portfolio of uploaded music for me to look at. Thanks Patrons. Talk to you again tomorrow abou the content i'm going to create this week.
