PRIVATE YOUTUBE LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u_b-saINesHello Patrons!I rarely post this late in the month but we've been frantically working behind the scenes on a bunch of stuff and I wanted to make sure we touched base before the month is out.

[EARLY ACCESS] Hades: Developing Hell Finale
PRIVATE YOUTUBE LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hJVQXc_thMWell you waited long enough for the finale so we got it to you as early as possible.On Monday we release this, the final episode in our documentary series covering the development of Hades. When we started this project we had no idea where it would take us and while the previous episode threw us for a loop we couldn't have expected how wild the launch and reception to Hades would be. This episode took a long time to film and ed...
How (& why) we filmed Tim Schafer on a TV | Noclip Edit Club
PRIVATE YOUTUBE LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5OpCQPyPNsHappy New Years folks!I hope you're keeping well wherever you are. Life is all kinds of busy over here. California is once again in lockdown so between that and the holidays I've had a lot more home / parenting responsibilities than usual. But I also took my first real break from Noclip work of 2020 (right before the year ended) which was nice. There has been work going on though. Interviews, pre-production and a bunch of e...
Tim Schafer Breaks Down 20 Years of Double Fine Games | Noclip
YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8pgNUkjrYAA little something for the holidays, Patrons!This one took a little longer than usual but once you start watching you'll probably see why. Jeremy did an awesome job editing this story together and cleaning up the rough audio (Tim used a Rock Band mic - thinking it would be better than his crappy webcam). And once I had the project back to do graphics, I realized just how long and fun it was and wanted to add a little special sauce.The video...

NEW DOC: How Microsoft Flight Simulator Recreated the Entire Planet
YOUTUBE LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w7q1ZFfsxsHey Patrons,I'm really excited to share this one. It's been a labor of love over the past few months as I learned about the development of the game, fell in love with the game itself, had the opportunity to interview two of the leads and then craft this little doc.Honestly it feels like a return to the original Noclip days. A 30 minute video packed full of info, with loads of attention to detail and hopefully a nice arc in there to...
[Early Access Cut] Microsoft Flight Simulator Documentary
[PRIVATE EARLY ACCESS LINK] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjJ0K6XpuE0Hey Patrons,This project has been a labor of love over the past month and considering my recent decision to spend more time on each project, I'm really happy with how it's turned out. The story of how this game was built is really fascinating, but I tried to keep a sentimental undertone going for the duration of the video. Flying anywhere has become so difficult since the pandemic, which I think provided an added laye...

How I'm Doing.
Hey folks,I'm fairly open about my mental health on a normal day, but times have been a little harder than usual around these parts recently. I have an update on what's coming from Noclip but I find it impossible to detangle our schedule from the reality of my personal day-to-day so I'm just gonna use this post to explain it all.First up, here are the Noclip projects that are currently in production and will round out a rather busy and eclectic year for us; Alien Isolation - this edi...

Update on Summer Jam Lanyards
Hey folks,I wanted to post a quick little FAQ / Update on the Summer Jam Lanyard orders as I'm starting to get some inquiries. The TL:DR is that half them are delivered and the other half (international orders) are being sent out presently. The longer version is that we sold WAY more than I was expecting, meaning I had to to order more lanyards & badges (from China) to fill the orders. That coupled with the complexity of sending things internationally made it take longer than I'd have li...
The Final Tour of Oakland's Video Game Museum & How We Can Save It
YOUTUBE LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRAUO3v-XkcHey Patrons,The first video this month is one we hadn't planned for. We got the call a few weeks ago that The MADE - Oakland's video game museum that we've filmed at a number of times - was having to close down immediately due to Covid-19. So we drove over to interview Alex Handy about the work they've done over the past 10 years, how they are working to store the museum and when the place is likely to return.Make sure to c...

Patron Vote: Which Wallpaper Should Jeff Draw?
Remember this artwork?We commissioned professional artist Jeff Delgado to create it for our documentary on Horizon Zero Dawn. In fact we loved it so much it became a visual tool in the documentary itself, as we slowly unveiled the full artwork over the course of the story.As part of Noclip Summer Jam we're commissioning him again, but this time to create a desktop background which we'll give to all of our patrons for free.

YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KMPGr3Ym9QPatrons! Many of you will have already watched our Tokyo Behind the Scenes, but as part of Noclip Summer Jam we've decided to make it public for the very first time.

Noclip Summer Jam - A Weird Week of Videos Celebrating our 4th Birthday!
Tomorrow, September 12th, is Noclip's 4th Birthday.It feels both longer and shorter than that if I think about it. In those 48 months we've done a lot of traveling, filmed a lot of interviews and produced a library of work which has been watched *checks YouTube stats* 33 million times? That seems like a bunch.But the reality is that the past 6 months have been hardest for our team. I imagine for many of you too. We lost our studio, most of our plans for the rest of the year were scrapped...

YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCdQAL2Ey5sHey Patrons,The first of a handful of fun videos coming out this month is something that popped up on my radar a few weeks ago.

I had a change to talk to the two guys who founded the studio to tell their ten-year journey through mobile game dev, and the design challenges of trying to put quests into a game where peop...

PRIVATE LINK (DON'T SHARE): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Rfo43t0U0Hey Patrons,We have loads of early access goodies this month but this one was sort of a late bonus entry. I got wind of this project a few weeks ago and had the chance to talk to the two indie devs who somehow managed to convince CD Projekt to create a Pokemon Go style game based on The Witcher. It seemed especially interesting considering the timing and how much anticipation there is for Cyberpunk 2077. The interview wen...
