Hey, everyone! A wile ago I posted an update about the channel on Patreon, but I think it’s important that everyone who subscribes to the channel can see the message as well. Before I dive into things, let me provide a little bit of context. Even though the channel focuses on the development of video games, it originally didn’t start out that way. My initial vision for the channel was to cover all sorts of video game topics that I think are interesting. That’s why my second video is about why Hideo Kojima left Konami. After a few more videos I noticed I was fascinated by indie developers and what they go through while making a game. It felt comfortable sticking to that niche and I never got bored of it.
Even today, I still love covering the development of (mainly) indie games. Lately however, the urge to go outside my niche has been growing and given that this year might be my final year as a YouTuber, I feel like I owe it to myself to cover at least a few video game topics I’ve always wanted to cover. My plan right now is to create a new series for those types of videos, while Game Dev Docs will continue to exist alongside that. So no, Game Dev Docs is not going away, it will never go away as long as this channel exists, but there will be other documentary-style content in between episodes. All video game-related of course.
I understand that might be frustrating for some of you, especially since it already takes a while for me to make a single video, but I feel like it’s something I need to do. I hope you’ll continue on this journey with me and give the new series a chance, but if not, no hard feelings. And just to be clear, the most recent video about the creation of the Switch 2 was more of a palette cleanser while I’m working on bigger picture stuff. My next video will be the first episode of the new series. After that, I’ll probably make another Game Dev Docs episode and see how it goes from there. Anyway, I hope you’ll enjoy what’s to come, cheers!
Hey, everyone! I just wanted to let you know that Patreon supporters are getting a special bonus this month. For just $1, you’ll receive all my videos ad-free, get access to the Patron feed and Discord server, and enjoy early access to my newest video: How Darkwood Was Made!
My Patreon is more important than ever this year, as it will determine whether I can continue making YouTube videos. As a thank-you for everyone’s support so far, I wanted to offer this extra perk. The video will become public for everyone else next week, but Patrons can watch it right now. I’ll also be revealing which game I’m covering next on my Patron feed very soon, so stay tuned for that. Cheers, everyone!
Hey, everyone! I just wanted to thank everyone for supporting the Balatro video and getting it to a million views in just two months! That's by far the fastest a video of mine has hit that number so I couldn't be more grateful for hitting a milestone like that. After a very difficult and stressful year in 2024, it was awesome to end it on such a high note. I appreciate all of you for your support the past five years. Seeing the community grow here on YouTube and over on Patreon and Discord has been amazing. Hopefully I get to do it for another five years and beyond. Cheers!
