Hey Patrons,
Hopefully by now you've had some time to watch our John Romero Profile that went live earlier this week. It seems to have gone down well, and we're already hard at work on the next few projects. S...

Hey Patrons!
The first of our Noclip Profiles series is live with a 43 minute feature on the one and only John Romero. This project had many new challenges including shooting abroad, shooting solo, and editing a much longer piece than I'm used to. Looking forward to hearing what you think.
Patrons are going to get a wonderful ...

Hey folks!
This is going public in a few mins, but I thought I'd share it with you folks ahead of time. The full feature looks to be running just under an hour and will be live on Tuesday the 31st of January.
This has a bit of a different tone to the two projects we've previously worked on. T...

Hey Patrons!
As you know last week was spent doing a lot of planning and booking for the first half of this year. We are currently shooting cool stuff at GDC, PAX East, E3 and working on a trip to Japan all at the same time. Not to mention planning doc shoots in between all of those. It's taken a lot out of me so...
2017-01-23 19:48:23 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons,
It's been an incredibly busy January behind the scenes. I've been editing our first Profile, organizing the impending shoots for project three, securing a space near GDC for our week-long filming effort, and booking flights and shelter for PAX, E3, and even adventures further afield.
But there's a much more important element to our Patreon which I feel we could be doing more with - you, the patron. I'm talking to Jeremy today about how we can better se...

Hey folks!
It's my first official week back in the office as it were, but there's been loads of work happening in the background since we last talked. So I thought I'd cram it all into one big old video. In this update I talk about:
- Our PAX East Panel
- Interviewing John Romero & the launch of "Profiles"
- Planning Project Three
- Our GDC 2017 Plans
- Polls, Q&A, Hangouts, Podcas...

Hey patrons!
Okay, I've been dying to talk about this for a while, but didn't want to count the video chickens before they video hatched. Thankfully that's no longer a worry! Video chickens everywhere!
Right after the DOOM 2016 docs went live we had loads of people requesting Noclip hunt down game industry legend and id co-founder John Romero. Knowing that he had recently moved to Ireland I reached out to his wife, famed developer Brenda Romero, to see if we could shoot something w...

Hello friends!
I hope you've all had a great holidays / Christmas / Hanukkah / December / Festivus. Myself and my wife have been on a tour of all the European countries beginning with "I" - and though we've decided to stay in Ireland and digest all this pizza rather than visit Iceland or the Isle of Man, it's still been an adventurous few weeks.
It's also been a great week for Noclip as the wheels hit the ground on our next project and I start planning some cool stuff around the Ga...

Hello patrons!
I'm delighted to say our third and final documentary on DOOM is now available. Including insight from lead level designer Jerry Keehan, and an interview with the game's composer Mick Gordon, "Guns, Guitars & Chess on Mars" dives into the music and gameplay pillars that all combine make DOOM 2016 what it is.

I'm easily the nominee with the smallest "social media presence" but the response from the communities on Noclip, Kinda Funny, Giant Bomb and GameSpot have been really humbling.
Getting nominated really puts Noclip in direct view of publishers and developers which priceless for a company like ours who is trying to get behind closed doors (or r...

It'll be at least an hour long and as long as it needs to be to answer as many questions and get everyone involved. Got plenty to talk about when it comes to the Rocket League docs, the DOOM series and more, so feel free to ask anything you want. See you then folks! Danny
