POLL: How are we doing? What do you want more of?

Hey Folks!

I'm just about done packing for our Warframe doc and about to hop in a car and DRIVE TO CANADA but I wanted to get a post out before doing so I wanted to post a request.

Based on the past few patron posts that went live I thought it would be a good time to reach out to you folks and ask how you think we're doing and what you might have on your Noclip wish-list in terms of content idea...

Introducing Bonus Level - The Spiritual Successor to "The Point"

Hey friends.

Years ago, long before Noclip, I had a dream to make an online show that looked at games through a different lens. That spoke to the design of games and the way they affect our lives. When I was hired at GameSpot I was able to put that dream into practice and start my opinion show The Point. Over three years we produced 83 episodes that dove into everything from to the rise of virtual reality, to the ev...

Hey Patrons,

We're just about done with our extended cuts of Horizon (one more coming) and Noclip Sessions (two more of them coming).

So, what are we working on?

Hey Patrons!

Since the year started we've been editing Noclip Sessions, extended cuts from Horizon and a few other things, but we've also been working hard to secure some interesting projects for the first few months of 2018. A lot of those plans are starting to solidify, so I wanted to give you an update on what you're going to be hearing from us over the coming weeks and months. So, let's get to it.

Let's Talk about Hangouts (Feedback Request)

Hey Patrons,

Over the past year I feel like I've made good on most of the patron benefits we rolled out at the start of this journey. But one area where I fundamentally dropped the ball is our hangouts. Over the course of 2017 we had less than half the amount of hangouts planned. Some of this was down to us moving from coast to coast, and the past few months since settling in here been a bit chaotic to say the least. Whatever the excuses, I apologize and wan't to fix this as we continue into 2...
