Hello Early Patrons,
It was a bit quiet on the Early Access front in November but we have two absolute bangers coming for you this month. The first of which is a look at one of the most interesting development stories of the year. Our documentary on The Forgotten City was hos...

It's the final month of the year and we're working on finishing up docs on DMA Design and The Forgotten City for later this month. Our Black Mesa doc has taken a bit longer because it is 2 HOURS LONG. They're al...

After 20 months of working from home, limited filming and a lot of remote interviewing, we are ready to do something new & exciting in 2022.
When we started Noclip we wanted to create an entirely new type of games coverage, and while we're really proud of the work that we've done over the past 5 years, if we've learned anything this year it's that our best work is when we are traveling, meeting developers and telling human stories.
The wor...

Hey Patrons,
This month on Mixtape Frank, Jesse & myself catch up on a busy October and look ahead to our remaining 2021 docs and our plans to hit the road in 2022.
The regular podcast music plays on this one because next month we will likely transition mixtape to just being regular episodes of the podcast that are exclusive to patrons. So nothing will change - except the name and we may actually have guests/interviews on the patron exclusive eps from time to time. We're still...

2021-11-11 22:59:37 +0000 UTC View PostFirst off I'm also testing the in-beta "Patreon Video" feature for this one. Please let me know what you think of it. Obviously it means you have to log-in to Patreon to use it so I've posted the unlisted YouTube link too for those of you who don't want to. But please let me know if it works as an alternative and what you think of the playback experience. Really appreciate the feedback.

Hey folks!
The Noclip Podcast has always enjoyed a healthy audience, but when things have gotten busy its been among our lowest priorities.
Its format has always been a reflection of the production time I could give it. Which as somebody who edits multiple documentaries a month, runs a Patreon and manages a media company - is not that much. It started out as a highly-edited story time series, returned as a more standard interview podcast and even had a stint as a place for t...

We've heard that many of you have had trouble trying to uncover the hundreds of patron exclusive videos you have access to regardless of when you signed up. And while we use Patreon's tagging system, we understand that because there are over 600 posts, sometimes Patreon breaks when trying to uncover them.
