Hello Patrons,
As you may have guessed from watching our Dredge Documentary, myself and Jeremy had a fun time putting together the stand-ups for this one. You may not know that the Northern Californian coast retains a large marine layer of cloud that sweeps into San Francisco for most of the summer. Around this time is starts to build around ...

Hey Patrons,
Myself and Frank return from our maiden QuakeCon with drives full of interviews and exciting footage - but what happened in between all those moments? In this behind the scenes we share our weekend working at QuakeCon, the people we talked to, the games we played, the people we met and the sodas we drank.

Hello Patrons
Coming at you LIVE from QuakeCon this episode of the Patron Show not only covers our time filming in Dallas last weekend, but it's also time to ANNOUNCE the two games we've secretly been embedded with for almost two years. We're planning two very different projects for those games, so we're excited to start talking about them. Timestamps inbound!

Hey Patrons,
We used to do a better job of promoting our docs ahead of time so I've decided to get back into the swing of creating trailers. Especially as this year we extended patron early access to a full week prior to public launch.
So here's a trailer for our 45 minutes documentary on DREDGE.

Hello Early Access Patrons!
Our continued mission to cover the hell out of the most interesting contemporary indies continues with a 45 minutes, super-dense documentary about the design of Dredge.

I filmed this month's Patron Show on the final day of my 3 week filming work-cation which took me from the American east coast to a post-Soviet state in North-East Europe.
Why am I in Estonia? Many of you can probably guess, but for those of you who can't - press play. We're got some fun stuff to show you.

Hey folks!
I always wanted to make a documentary about Wipeout 2097 and while I had trouble nailing down most of the interviews, one person who did manage to find time for me, Tim "CoLD SToRAGE" Wright, provided an absolute killer of an interview.
With many of the other interviewees not finding time I hummed and hawed over how to proceed ...

Hello Free Members!
Patreon finally allowed us to post directly to you without them being public posts, so I'm excited to get the ball rolling on this. We've got some ideas for member only posts such as posting some of our older patron-exclusive videos, and we should also be able to post to both you and our members for some general "behind closed doors" announcements.
So thank you for being a free member - we're gonna make it worth your while.

Hey folks,
It's been over a year since we last checked in with Heart Machine and the development of Hyper Light Breaker, but that was with good reason. Not only did the game suffer some delays, but the entire year was shadowed by the ever-present worry that Embracer Group was going to sell off the game's publishing partner Gearbox Publishing SF.

Hey folks,
In case you didn't know my new podcast Dear Dwyery is bi-weekly, which means once every two weeks. It also means twice a week, but we're not doing that. What a stupid word.
New Blood Interactive recently celebrated their third Anniversary so what better time to call up their vocal co-founder Dave Oshry, to talk about classic shooters, corporate buyouts and the future of indie development.

This week we reached 100 videos uploaded to our archive channel so it was a good excuse to make an update video for the main channel talking about what we saved, the lessons we learned and what we expect to find in the next 100 tapes.

Hey folks,
You've been asking us to make a developer-focused podcast like the OG Noclip documentary for a few years now. It was always something a bit outside of our reach given all the other work we do, but last year myself and Jesse made it a priority to figure out a way of pulling it off.
That show is now here and it's called DEAR DWYERY because of course it is, what a stupid now - how could we not? Every TWO WEEKS we'll have a new episode focusing on a new area of games. It co...

Hey everyone,
So you may have missed it if you don't follow me on social media (can't blame you) but last week, the night after our first day of GDC filming, I had to go to the ER to deal with some horrendous abdominal pain that had been bothering me intermittently for a few days. It was a rough time as the hospital but long story short I am back at home now, enjoying bed rest on some pretty heavy painkillers, waiting a date for surgery. It's nothing too serious and by the looks of thin...
