Hey Patrons!

The latest episode of our series Developer Breakdown has us talking to Wren and Tim from Witch Beam Games about all the magic going on under the hood of Unpacking. Early Access + Bonus Video Patrons should also have access to the hour long version of our interview but it doesn't have all the snazzy editing so maybe watch this one first.

Massive thanks to Jesse for taking the lead on this edit. It turned out super well and hopefully will get some eyeballs as we continue to grow Noclip Crew.

Let us know what you think!

Danny, are the motion graphics rendered at 4k also? There's something odd about watching the video at 4k, where the motion graphics seem..., soft/mismatched with the video behind them? It reminds me of like, playing an older game designed at 1080p but rendering it at 4k, and the 1080p HUD will often look kind of soft/blurry? Maybe I'm crazy. 😅 Maybe it's just something about the artistic style? Hardly a huge thing, but it somehow stood out to me. Sorry to nitpick!

That was really enjoyable. I loved hearing their work-around for layers assets that could be inside/on top of each other.

Love how you sneaked a clip of Kratos beating up a dude into a doc about a cute wholesome game! 😂
