I create video game documentaries that explain how your favorite games were made.

Hey, everyone! Just wanted to do a little self-promotion and tell you that my next video is now live on my Patreon. It covers Hades II, Supergiant Games' first-ever sequel! I've been having a lot of fun playing that one lately so I was excited to make a video about it. For just $1 you can see that one, and all my other videos, completely ad-free. For that price you also get access to the Discord and Patreon feed where I tease upcoming videos. Check it out here: www.patreon.com/c/ThatGuyGlen. The video will go up on the channel in a few days from now.

It's no secret the channel hasn't been doing well this year so it's uncertain right now wether I'll still be doing this next year. Views always go up and down but if they stay down for a long time, Patreon could one day hopefully ensure I don't have to worry about that. So, if you like the content and like to see more of it in the future, consider subscribing to the Patreon. As always, liking, commenting and sharing videos helps out a lot, more than you might realize! Aside from actually watching videos all the way to the end, it's the best way to tell YouTube a video deserves to be seen by people who are not subscribed to the channel.

Alright, that's all I wanted to say. For the people living in America, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving (I actually will be having the big dinner later today)! Cheers everyone, have a great weekend!

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!
