NEW DOC: How Microsoft Flight Simulator Recreated the Entire Planet

Hey Patrons,

I'm really excited to share this one. It's been a labor of love over the past few months as I learned about the development of the game, fell in love with the game itself, had the opportunity to interview two of the leads and then craft this little doc.

Honestly it feels like a retur...

Hey Patrons,

Happy Halloween Month Patrons!

How I'm Doing.

Hey folks,

I'm fairly open about my mental health on a normal day, but times have been a little harder than usual around these parts recently. I have an update on what's coming from Noclip but I find it impossible to detangle our schedule from the reality of my personal day-to-day so I'm just gonna use this post to explain it all. 

First up, here are the Noclip projects that are currently in production and will round out a rather busy and eclectic year for us;

Grab Your Patron-Voted Outer Wilds Artwork

Hey Patrons!

You may remember during Summer Jam we had a vote for what artwork our friend Jeff Delgado would create for us. You (mostly) voted for Outer Wilds, we commissioned him to create a desktop background, and here it is!

Update on Summer Jam Lanyards

Hey folks,

I wanted to post a quick little FAQ / Update on the Summer Jam Lanyard orders as I'm starting to get some inquiries. The TL:DR is that half them are delivered and the other half (international orders) are being sent out presently. The longer version is that we sold WAY more than I was expecting, meaning I had to to order more lanyards & badges (from China) to fill the orders. Tha...

Hey Patrons,

The first video this month is one we hadn't planned for. We got the call a few weeks ago that The MADE - Oakland's video game museum that we've filmed at a number of times - was having to close down immediately due to Covid-19. So we drove over to interview Alex Handy about the work they'v...

Noclip Summer Jam - A Weird Week of Videos Celebrating our 4th Birthday!

Tomorrow, September 12th, is Noclip's 4th Birthday.

It feels both longer and shorter than that if I think about it. In those 48 months we've done a lot of traveling, filmed a lot of interviews and produced a library of work which has been watched *checks YouTube stats* 33 million times? That seems like a bunch.

But the reality is that the past 6 months have been hardest for our team. I imagine for many of you too. We lost our studio, most of our plans for the rest...
