Hey Patrons!
Wow.....what a week.
The past four days have been a bit of a haze, but before I clock off for the weekend I wanted to give you an update on everything that happened this week and what it means for Noclip.
We gained over 1,420 new patrons in three days and hundreds of existing patrons upped their pledges to help us not only reach our goal for getting a brand new 4k camera but we're now in a position where we're able to give substantially more work hours to the whole team.
This is beyond my wildest dreams for this week, and with people still signing up and increasing their pledges we may actually hit 6,000 patrons this month which would be insane - and also mean we stream our very own E3 show this summer which would be amazing.

The dust is very much settling and I'm still trying to understand exactly what this means for us but in the meantime I just wanted to thank you so much for your support, for your patronage, and for all the kind words you sent this past week. It's been overwhelming.
Noclip has been my baby for the past four and a half years, but right now it feels like we just finished the prologue. We're going to squeeze every drop out of your patronage today, save for massive projects post-covid, and get even more creative with the work we do. I can't tell you how exciting that it is.
Enjoy your weekends! Patron update show and loads of exclusives dropping next week.
And once again, all of you, thank you.
Danny
PS: if you could sub the "Patron Videos" YouTube channel this video is on I'd appreciate it, we need 100 for certain features.

It is boy!

So exciting, Danny. Your stoke is infectious. Well done and I'm excited to see what comes next. (PS - thanks for answering my Q a couple months ago, my name is pronounced "hah-keem" so you nailed it!)
Noclip
Thanks so much! Is this Eric from back home? - Danny
Happy days, Best of luck going forward!

Woot! So happy for you guys, thank you so far for you incredible work and looking forward to the future! Stay safe everyone.
I would get in touch with Linus at linustechtips.com. I'm sure he'd love to help out with the camera stuff. Maybe you could collaborate a bit. I wouldn't leave that stone unturned. Just joined your Patreon. Your content created up until now has been fantastic. I hope you all succeed big time. System Shock retro? That would be delightful.

Haha funny to here that others had a way diff idea of that video too: definitely watched it anticipating to hear why y’all were shutting down for good. What a happy twist!

Wonderful news, Danny! Made my day seeing your excitement in this video. So excited to be along for the ride with Noclip, and all that the future holds for it.

Glad to be a small part of making this possible. Pretty excited for the RCT Greatest Hits doc - as you said, I think a lot of us who are now in our early-to-mid 30s consider it a formative part of our youths. Hell, I was just playing the mobile port yesterday; it still holds up terrifically.
Always thought about backing you and not gonna lie that you provide the documentaries for free always was kinda a hurdle to pull the trigger. But I'm watching a lot of your videos for a while now and it's time to to pay something into the pot at the very least as long as I am employed.

Congrats! But please don't feel obligated to have a plan for spending ALL of the funds. It might be a good idea to set aside a portion as cushion/emergency money. If this 'side bank' grows to a large sum, you could also take some of it out for any odd one-off projects from time to time as well. Just a thought.
Paul Puccio
So well deserved!!!
Daniel Maurath
Wow such great news and so well deserved! You so evidently all put your heart and soul into your work and it shows. Without noclip I would have never discovered some amazing games so appreciate all you do. And looking forward to the podcast on GTA aka story of Jeremys stolen RV :D
Wizards & Warriors
We love you guys at /noclip.. we’re all people with the same passion: Video Games. And we’re all willing to help you guys do what you do best: making the best video game documentaries in the biz. Excited for where we all take /noclip! Congrats, Danny and team!
Kenzo Yasuda
Lets go! Keep adding Psygnosis to the future polls, I'll keep voting for it!

What's with cars getting stolen over there?! 😅
Emmanuel
Bless you Danny, very happy for you.
I'm here for teary-eyed grattitute-filled Danny. <3 Might I suggest re-rendering your old docs in HD if you are looking for stuff to do (i would imagine thats a thing you could outsource with the $, maybe?)
Kenneth Soerensen
This is amazing news! Congratulation, and so well deserved!
Noclip
Amen!
Surells
Great news, and well deserved. Now I just need Archipel to get some proper funding and I'll be happy.
Kevin O'Neil
This made me so happy. Congrats!
Dan Silverstone
This is great news. Argh I fucking love Noclip!
Milena Kosic
Congrats Danny and team! Glad we could support you and your awesome work.
We got your back Danny :)

I might be in the minority on this but I don't think you necessarily need to think about how to go "bigger" by spending all the extra money. Sometimes it's OK to just carry on what you're doing but with more wiggle room. Of course if you've got things you want to get done e.g. editing time, that you couldn't afford to pay for as much as you wanted to then that's a great use of the extra income. Good luck and carry on!
Nik Mortimer
Congrats Danny, the success is well earned! Looking forward to everything that's coming next.
You guys deserve all this and more! Just increased my level to $5 and am excited for the future of NoClip!
Arcturus
New patron after years saying I would as soon as I could. Happy to finally be here and thrilled at the new rush of income. Y'all deserve it.
Andrew McMillan
AMAZING News! totally deserved man. Can't wait to see what the next year brings :)
Jerad Waas
As someone who has watched plenty of the free documentaries that you have posted on YouTube, I have never been happier to toss you some money. Looking forward to a bright future for you guys! Keep up the great work and stay true! The world needs more great content like your docs. Good luck, team! P.S. I loved Roller Coaster Tycoon back in the day! Very much looking forward to that!! :)
Conor Buller
Congrats again guys. Hope everything works out OK with Jeremy's RV.
Noclip
hah, thank you - we already have 150 subs so I can do a bunch of stuff. apparently we need 1000 to do other stuff like turn off ads forever hah.
Landon Robinson
That’s amazing Danny! I just subbed to that new channel with my personal account and old YouTube channel. (Edit: at the time I was the 99th sub so was excited to put it over the edge lol) All very exciting stuff!!
