The Making of Vampire Survivors - Documentary

YOUTUBE LINK: https://youtu.be/XQVdR8mJrds

Two documentaries in a week - I warned you we had a backlog!

As you know we like to keep things fresh around here. So how about going from interviewing a bunch of people who get paid to be on camera, to doing a doc without the main interviewee on camera?

Some Thoughts About Tape Week #1 [Bonus Video]

Hey Patrons!

It's been a busy week around these parts. Not only did we announce our tape archiving project but our documentary on IMMORTALITY came out and our Vampire Survivors doc is in Early Access awaiting full release next week.

That said I wanted to take a moment to talk about the first week of the tape archive project - what the feedback has been like, our plans for releasing the videos, game-tapes like shows and so on. It seemed like a good...

Hey Patrons,

The docs are coming thick a fast right now. After a documentary featuring loads of people in front of camera we are now publishing a documentary where not enough people were on camera. But don't worry, we bought a puppet.

We'd love your feedback on this one. We had some feedback from a subse...

IMMORTALITY Cast Plays IMMORTALITY - Patron Exclusive Video

Hey Patrons,

As featured in our IMMORTALITY documentary, here is the full hour long sit-down with the Immortality cast playing the game. It's unedited so there are parts where they struggled with mac controls, but I loved the "hang out" vibe of the entire moment so it felt cool to just upload it all and let people be part of the moment.

Thanks so much for supporting our work. Only through a dedicated game documentary Patreon does a 90 minutes doc on Immortality ge...

Bonus Podcast: A Year of Developing Stunt Derby

Hey Patrons,

Here's a bonus podcast I've been meaning to do for a while now. The whole point of Stunt Derby at the start was to help me get an idea of how all the hidden areas of making games work. Stuff like publisher deals, marketing, working with Steam and so on. The past year has been a really eye opening experience for me so I sat down with Alex Austin (programmer, designer, everything on Stunt Derby) to reminisce on highs and lows of the past year. 

I hope you ...

How Jirard The Completionist Saved a Cancelled Indie Showcase

During Summer Games Fest we sent Frank to visit The MIX to see if there were a few new indie games he could do videos on for Noclip Crew. But the fire department had other plans.

The event was cancelled for issues to do with the location's permits or lack thereof. This left a bunch of indie devs, many ...

Hey Patrons,

A new feature of your early access patronage is early access to some of the choice selections from our soon-to-be-publicly-announced video tape preservation project, and we're starting off with a banger.

Community Q&A - Call for Questions

Hi Patrons,

It's been a few seasons since our last Patron Q&A so I thought with all the docs and podcasts and videos we've been putting out it's probably a good time to open the doors to some inquiry!

Bit of a twist on this one though - we're going to answer these questions on a public video on Noclip Crew.  

Only patrons get to ask questions though so if you'd like to get into the video 2023-06-04 16:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post

Behind the Scenes on our Immortality Shoot

Hey folks!

We've a couple of upgrades coming to the Patreon over the next month or three and part of this new strategy is putting more work into behind-the-scenes exclusives for patrons.

During covid our monthly Patron Shows became the "catch all" for any news and clips that came from current projects. And there wasn't much to "film behind the scenes" because I was stuck at home like the rest of you, and I sort of fell out of practice.

So I've been talking to Frank about hel...
