Surprise!

Last week myself and Esteban flew to Chicago for a day to do some interviews with the folks at NetherRealm Studios. Officially it was a press & influencer event, but we basically used it as an excuse to record a few interviews with three members of the team off to the side. I'm using this as a test bed for piggybacking on future preview events to record punchier videos in between our larger docs. In terms of production costs, this sort of stuff might prove worthwhile because the amount of time to edit videos like this is so minimal. The video above took me a day to cut. A DAY!

This is the first of two videos on MK11 landing this week. The other is longer at around 10 minutes and focuses on the intricacies of designing a modern Mortal Kombat game. Early Access folks will have it tomorrow. Public on Friday. We've a short Behind-the-Scenes video on our trip to Chicago too. Expect that over the weekend.

So yea. Let me know what you think! Would you like to see more short videos like this in between big docs in the future?

This is so awesome to see, and excellent idea to piggyback interviews off of preview events. I had the pleasure of meeting Ed Boon at E3 and he was awesome.

Tohir Tillyaev

This is freaking AWESOME! Really hope people enjoy it as much as I did. We need to get people retweeting and sharing it with MK community!

Liam Brown

Huh, caught me off-guard, you usually seem so indifferent to fighting games. I anticipated that all fighting game content would be Esteban solo projects. Looking forward to watching these videos.

William Heathcote

Thumbs up for shorter content. More Noclip is always welcome.

Seth Spaulding

Awesome! Would certainly enjoy bite-sized videos, especially if it doesn't draw too much of your effort away from other projects.

Josh Daniels

Woke up and saw the MK trailer and was like please let no clip have an interview with Ed Boon. Would love to see a full /noclip doc on MK my favorite fighting game of all time, and one of my favorite series of all time

Man I've always wondered what this process was like. Thanks Danny and Esteban

My concern with this is that I saw this post about designing fatalities in Mortal Kombat and thought that was a great, original idea for a quick video. But then 5 minutes later I saw the following link on Polygon to a story about the exact same thing: <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2019/3/6/18252200/mortal-kombat-11-scorpion-fatality-ed-boon" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.polygon.com/2019/3/6/18252200/mortal-kombat-11-scorpion-fatality-ed-boon</a> Personally I don't like the idea of new videos coming out of preview/press events if they are going to be the same content that news outlets will be providing; that content is already available, and isn't what I come to Noclip for. That said, it was a great video, and I would welcome more shorter videos (in addition to the current videos). Thanks for your work!

Steve Dennis

I think trying some shorter videos to attract new people to the channel and patreon is a great idea. The content doesn't go as deep as I'd like but the overhead sounds low, so please continue experimenting :)

On one hand I found this really funny, and interesting. But on the other, I felt like this was just an appetizer for a bigger/longer video coming up. I guess I would love it better, if I knew there where more/longer videos about the same game coming soon. But it really just whets the appetite, and makes me want a longer doc. The thing I enjoy the most about NoClip is when you guys take your time, and gives a thorough behind the scenes look.
