This Week's Video - UPDATE!
Added 2021-03-31 15:44:49 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
With this week's video just a couple of days away I wanted to post here to update you all about it with some important info!
This week's video is for the game Evil Genius 2. I'm super excited about it, it's the most ambitious video I've ever made and the game itself is the long-awaited sequel to one of my absolute favourite childhood games.
So why the update here? Well this Friday's video is sponsored by Rebellion, the game's publisher. It's very exciting as they reached out to me to make a video for them, apparently I have some fans on the game's design team! I realised it has been a long while since I've done something sponsored (my last was the Frostpunk battle with Dan in 2019!) and the Patreon has grown a lot since then so I wanted to write to you now in the interest of clarity and transparency.
Sponsored content has been such a rarity so far for the channel that I've neglected to update the Patreon with information about how it is handled and I sincerely apologise for that. So this is a post to let you know that, like the Frostpunk rap battle, this week's video will not feature a Patron credits roll on the end. This is so I can thank the sponsor and do the required promotional talk for the game. Rebellion have fully funded this video production and paid for that ad space.
I am very sorry to any of you this may disappoint! I especially want to apologise to the new Patron who joined the credits tier just as a complete writing this! I will now adjust the tier descriptions to reference sponsored content.
I can reveal however, that though this month's video is the biggest and most ambitious video I've ever made... Next month's is BIGGER and is entirely Patron funded so your pledges will be incredibly en-thankened come April's video!
So here's a teaser for that.... ;)
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have and my apologies once again for not making this update sooner!

The opening melody really reminded me of “I Expect You To Die”, and I think you’d have some fun making a song of that game :P who doesn’t love a cheesy Bond villain

2021-04-01 18:42:22 +0000 UTCQuestion though: Do we need to send our name anywhere to get it shown in video credits? (upcoming sponsored video excluded of course)

2021-04-01 18:22:10 +0000 UTCAmazing. Been playing Evil Genius as much as I can since it came out, and I look forward to some deliciously diabolic diatribes against the Forces of Justice!

2021-04-01 18:21:53 +0000 UTCI just can't wait to hear the song and see the video. I just joined the patreon this month but I did it to support you because I listen to your music all the time. There are a few songs that have been what got me to get or play a game. Either because I heard the song and loved it or because I WANT to listen to the song but want to play the game a bit first so I can appreciate the song even more. Like the Frostpunk songs! I just started playing and I love those songs so much! Bendy and the Ink Machine is next on my list because I LOVE Art of Darkness!

2021-04-01 14:05:54 +0000 UTCWe just want to see the art in your head be given life. It makes me misty eyed to see other Stupes fans, especially game devs and the like!! We are so ready for Friday!

2021-03-31 19:13:11 +0000 UTCI just love that you're being recognized like that. I've tried 2 games purely because I was so curious about them after watching your videos so far. 💚

2021-03-31 16:57:47 +0000 UTCThis, this here sir is why I support your content ive never seen someone put so much effort into a youtube music video until I found your channel, Im very excited to see what new projects you come up with 😁💜

2021-03-31 16:32:00 +0000 UTCFirst of all ¡Congratulations on getting a sponsor for the video! I hope more and more teams that have seen you perform reach to you, and you get more interesting and fulfilling videos in the future. After that, personally i pay patreon because i like to think that you will do more crazy things with it that what i will do. For example buying another snazzy pair of sunglasses to add a "je ne se quoi" to your ensemble. I hope one of the collabs is with Harry101uk, he is doing something big lately and i would love that it was with you.

2021-03-31 16:20:38 +0000 UTCi didnt join the patreon to see my name in the credits, i joined so i could support you and your work directly. i love every single bit of what you make and you will literally never disappoint :)

2021-03-31 16:18:07 +0000 UTCThat's awesome to hear Rebellion is sponsoring the video.
2021-03-31 15:57:47 +0000 UTCWe'll get a video anyway, so I think that's a win for me! Also super excited about your next project. BTW, do you plan another collaborations in the future? NemRaps on Apex was a really nice surprise, also I remember your Cami-Cat and Chi Chi collabs - do you plan on continuing this trend?

2021-03-31 15:53:05 +0000 UTCI only joined this month, but did it because what you make is fantastic and should be supported. No reasonable person would argue with a company wanting to do the same :-].

2021-03-31 15:52:40 +0000 UTCYou're fine stupes. I joined ya patreon to help support you, not really to have my name in a vid. Keep up the good work
