Hey Patrons,

We're just about done with our extended cuts of Horizon (one more coming) and Noclip Sessions (two more of them coming). In honesty it's been an incredibly exciting month of planning and we have a stacked 2018 with loads of cool projects. Filming on a bunch of them starts this month - I'll have more insight into that in our Patron Show next week.

Until then, here's one for the Horizon fans;

In this extended cut of our interview with Horizon Zero Dawn's Director Mathijs De Jonge, we talk about the long process of crafting the game from initial pitch to boxed release. It's a fascinating chat with the person who stood at the center of the decision making team.

Hope you enjoy it!
