Hey Patrons,
So the cat is out of the bag and now I've had some time to collect myself I thought it would be a good idea to answer some of the questions that have cropped up.
A Matter of Length
I've had a bunch of questions about the length of the docs so let me give you a bit of a heads up. The first doc "The History of Bethesda Game Studios" is going to be something similar to our Horizon doc. Current run-time is about 90 minutes but I'm trying to trip that do...

Hey folks,
OH MY GOD I CAN FINALLY TALK ABOUT THIS.
I'm going to keep this brief and let the video speak for itself. For the past few months we've been working with Bethesda on a couple of very interesting videos looking into the history and future of their studio. It's looked like we've been quiet from the outside, but it's ...

Hey Patrons,
We've been hard at work for a number of months on a cool project that we've not been able to share with you. But after a lot of work we're excited to reveal our next documentary series this week.
On Thursday, May 31st, we'll be releasing a trailer with the project following soon after. We'll have an early peak for Patrons on Thursday morning before it goes live. This will be in the form of a patron post for all of you and a private livestream of the trailer for our Early Acc...

Hey Patrons!
Sorry this is a week later than usual, we were away filming for the first week of this month so it bumped everything back a little. This month on the show we talk about our brand new podcast, give some updates on when you're going to see our next doc series (spoilers; soon) and answer your questions ab...

Hey folks!
We're just back from a filming trip which we'll be able to tell you about in a couple of weeks so apologies that The Patron Show is a week later than usual this month.
You in the $5 tier or above have access to the early pilot episode of the Noclip Podcast which has been a delightful labor of love this past month. Thanks for all the feedback so far, I've made some factual, technical and style changes based on that stuff already. We'll be...

Hey Patrons!
So it's been a pretty "quiet" month. I use the commas because it's not been quiet on this end but we're not in a position to share what we've been working on quite yet. The reality is this is going to continue for most of next month too. Once you see what we've been editing it will all make sense but in the meantime I want to let you in on an exciting project we'll be launching in the coming weeks.
So, we've been running "Noclip Pirate Radio" feed since 2016 which is essenti...

Hey folks!
So, it's been a tough few months.
I try not to get too negative on Noclip as that's not what you're here for, but it's probably been apparent from the amount of communication on my part that I've been feeling a bit off as of late. Winter was hard. Harder than I was expecting. Many of you probably know that I've had my battles with depression, and the winter months have always been that little bit tougher. Moving to Maryland right as the leaves were falling was probably not the...

Hey folks,
So today we launched our first documentary on Steam. Bringing our docs to the platform has been in the works for well over a year now and as Valve are sponsoring the GDC Film Festival next week, we thought it best to start off with our Horizon Zero Dawn doc that will be featured at said festival.
Add it to your Steam Library for free right now!
