Patrons,

Our first documentary is now live. You  made this happen. You funded our flights, you helped get us in the door, you inspired our late nights of editing. This is for you. 

I hope, more than anything, that this lives up to your expectations. This is the first of many Noclip documentaries, and so the only way is up. But I hope that we've started at a place that makes you proud.

Let me know what you think.

Thank you so much for making this happen.

Danny

Eeek! Queuing it in youtube now! So proud of you Danny! 😄 😄 💜

YES! Thank you, Danny! Been following your work ever since you started. I feel like it has all been preparation for this!

Joe Watson

thoroughly enjoyed this, looking forward to hearing them talking about Rocket League!! Though I did actually play a fair bit of supersonic battle cars because my friend had it, it was really good in its own slightly janky way

Abdel

i like it a lot, good job Danny, can't wait for part 2 :)

Jeff Cole

I always knew it would be great but I expected it to be 5min. Blew my expectations out of the water! So happy I could be a really small part of it.

Majed

I feel proud of Noclip. Fist of many Danny!

/noclip

haha really? There's always one! :)

Arenow

That was great. Can't wait for tomorrow

James Huffman

I'm not convinced that Danny made this doc strictly so he could play UT2k4 to capture footage for it :D Well done Danny, can't wait for part 2.

/noclip

hahaha, honestly it was SO MUCH FUN capturing that stuff :D

Martin Power

Just excellent Sir, I like so many other here have followed you for a long time. For me it was hearing you talk about games like they were an actual medium of art/expression, when you weren't even a "journalist". (Defending GTA on radio back in Ireland ). So it is wonderful to see you exactly where you are supposed to be. A Leading voice in games journalism and a creator of deadly documentaries! I love this and can't wait for tomorrow.

Love it. It's great to hear about the more practical side of running a studio, looking forward to PS+ discussion in the next episode.

Elias

Loved it !

Håvard Stene Skjærvik

Same here, we had a PS3 hooked up to a projector at school and would play it there, tons of fun :D

Der Todde

I loved it although it is about a game I don't really care about. I am absolutely looking forward to seeing part 2 and all the other great docs that are going to come in the future.

Dom Greves

Good work Danny! I think I can see where my $5 was spent. Those shorts tho...

Jonas Lindelöf

Really enjoyed this! Amazing work Danny and Jeremy :D

RagnarTheRok

Just what I was hoping for - thanks Danny :)

KP

That'll do, O'. That'll do.

Khetix

This is great, Danny. On it's own it's a great feature on Rocket League, but as the first piece of content from noclip? You're making us proud. I'm excited to see the next segment. :-)

Nostalgia Sim

Great job, can't wait for the next part!

Bavo Debraekeleer

Awesome work Danny! Exactly what I though it would be. How did you do the names at the end? Don't tell me you had to type all of those in?

drew koverman

Thanks Danny! Stellar work, ready for part 2

Jeff Freeman

Freaking amazing Danny! I love it so much! Can't wait for part 2 tomorrow.

Brandon K Gann

This was so good! Loved the edits and the storytelling. It was really great getting to know what preceded Rocket League. Thanks Mr. O'Dwyer for telling the story (and will tell in Part 2) and thanks to Psyonix for allowing you to tell that story. Can't wait for Part 2!

Ryan White

Great stuff Danny! Really enjoyed it! I'll be sharing it around the office as we have a few Rocket League fans in there. Looking forward to part 2!

Jason Cluck

This was awesome Danny! I had no idea the roots were so ingrained in UT. Can't wait for the more optimistic part 2 :)

Kenneth Høgh

Amazing work Danny, and the rest of the gang at noclip, all that talk about Unreal Tournament 2K4 just reminded me that it''s one of those game we still play at my LAN Party, because it's the one everyone can run on their pc. Can't wait for the next part!

Kev Dellaq

Brilliant work guys. I was worried that noclip might be a bit serious and overly-earnest in an attempt to appear more "worthy" but I was very wrong. This was fantastic and I can't wait for part 2! PS - My first computer was also a Texas Instruments TI99-4A (with the speech synthesizer!) PPS - Shout-out to the sheer number of top-tier patrons; amazing!

Sam

Great work man! Excited to watch part two!

Jackson Roye

Really great, Danny! Had no idea those guys had done anything besides Battle Cars prior to Rocket League!

Mark Davis

I can't express enough how happy I am that you are making these documentaries. This is exactly what I wanted and didn't even know it until you launched No Clip. Kudos!

Tohir Tillyaev

Yes! It's an amazing feeling to see the first doc out. And it is good. Like I don't have to pretend I liked it lol I can see the passion and love that went into it plus I never realized what those guys worked on before and the dedication they had for their product. Cants wait for second doc! Danny congrats man! You're making your dream project come true!

Naoyuki Harada

I can't wait for part 2! I may also start playing this game.

HOWiGOTtheSCARS

WOW! I pledged to this patreon without seeing any of Danny's work before, just was always interested in the idea of Video Game docs. I was not expecting this amount of quality and just a really well done style! I'm happy about my pledge and even more happy to see part 2!

Andrew Watts

Man- They earnt their success. Love the studio ups and downs. The game's lineage stuff is really great. ssx tricky 4 life.

Brandon Schapekahm

This was great! Thank you again for this story. This is the start to a beautiful thing.

Rob Curran

Thank you Danny for giving us exactly what we have always wanted.

Clay A Binkley

Awesome! Can't wait for part two... and whatever's up next.

Peter Noakes

Awesome vid Danny. Absolutely awesome.

Dean Parker

Should have guessed! Excellent work!

Tory Thompson

If this amazing work only took you 2 months- where will NoClip be in 2 years? big things are coming.

BeardedScotsman86

Glad to see you are back. The Point was my most anticipated show that I watched online and was disappointed to see it go
