(18+!) - Uncensored Dark World #4

Please note: For real, this one is 18+, it contains incredibly explicit images that have been stolen from various internet websites by the developers of this mod.  

By popular request, I'm going to upload an uncensored version of the Dark World series here. They will premiere the same time as the Youtube release, so it's not so much of an early access thing, more of a patreon bonus.

Update on End Cards Shoutouts, Additional Rewards, and a Thanks

After a gripping tale, and an even more gripping end, the battle Grandma series has come to an end having taken the title as the most successful series on the channel to date.

Firstly, a thank you goes out to all of the new Patrons who have backed since the Battle Grandma series - the support on it has been incredible to the extent that I'm having to look at redoing some of the Patreon systems to give more immediate communication and feedback.
And of course a thank you has to go to ...

Reward (and Shoutouts!) Restructure Plans

Friends, companions, and noble steeds,

Recently I spoke with an ex-youtube channel manager who used to work with a large MCN, and I showed them my video retention rates. Overall things looked pretty good, until they pointed out a massive drop off consistently at the end of every single video to which they said: (direct quote) "That's not normal, that's gotta be a glitch or something".

Turns out the Patreon shoutouts at the end of every video have done me a significant damage whi...

Quick New Years Update

Hello Patrons new and old, and welcome to the year of 2020!

I asked a few days ago in the Patreon discord channel what sort of data and analytics from the channel people would be interested in seeing, and I thought I'd kick off this year with a big old information list so we have something to compare it to at the end of the year.

Luckily I still have the figures from exactly this time last year, so we can make some predictions as well based on the growth over 20...

New Rewards, Improving Rewards, CONTENT.

Patrons, followers, and enemies of the realm,

A little update post about what is going to be changing with Patreon rewards, behind the scenes stuff, and content changes!

Patreon Changes Happening Right NOW

Real names/Last names:

I know a lot of people have signed up for Patreon using their real names/last names, but a few people have asked me to adjust or change their name being shouted out for various reasons, but mainly because they don't want t...

Long Overdue Update

Greetings friends, vassals, and courtiers,

I haven't done one of these in a long, long, time. For that I can only apologise, I did want these to be a monthly thing but I've been a little distracted with a couple of things I'll discuss later below. I'm gonna try and keep this one short and sweet compared to my usual novel of text I do for these things, but I'll release a full channel stats update in a couple of days when I have some better numbers.

Today's conten...

May Round Up

Welcome fellow boys/girls/others, delete as appropriate.

It's me again, though you've probably guessed that already given that I've done these for months now and despite my efforts to gain immortality or reincarnate as a newborn and live again, I still haven't - so it's still me, just to assuage any doubts.

May, also known as "Oh god he's still doing Game of Thrones?" month in which no one was surprised to learn I was once again doing more Game of Thrones. Alongside that, we saw t...

April Round up

Hello friends, welcome to the roundup of the month of April.

Last month I called March a "5 Star Month" - if that's true then April, by comparison, would be a 7-8 star month. I've really tried increasing the production quality this time around, and I think it's paid off pretty significantly. Rimworld blew up, CK2 Game of Thrones continues blowing up, and the new CK2 series seems like it's doing well also!

For the month of April 2019:

- 91 videos (2 less than last month (Blam...

March - 5 Star Month

Welcome friends and Patrons to the massively late March roundup.

I normally have these out within the first week of the month, but this one is extremely late and I'm very sorry - you'll see why in a second! This has been a super high workload month, probably the most stressful, busy, and rewarding month the channel has ever had; it has definitely paid off.

March featured mostly the Karling HIP series, the Dwemer Contingency mod, and the end of the weakest Rimworld series, but the ...

Patreon Series B Poll!

The Karling playthrough has come to an end so it's time to vote on the replacement. I had planned on doing After the End as I'd seen the community trending towards it, but seeing as we're doing two series now, might as well have an exclusively patreon-guided one!

The end of March roundup post is drafted but I want to read through it again before it's done, it should be don...

February Round-up!

Welcome friends to February's monthly roundup.

Last month I announced I'd be doing these as a stats roundup, a retrospective look back at what the last month consisted of, and a bit of personal reflection on the pros and cons of the content that came out last month.

For the month of February 2019: 

Notice: February is the shortest month, and I only have data right now between January 31st and February 27th.

- 60 videos. (Not bad for the shortest month!)

- Ar...

January Round-up!

Friends and Patrons and both,

I've decided to start a new end of month summary of the channel to better inform you guys about what you've help support for this month, and to help lay it out in black and white for you all to decide if supporting for another month is right for you, plus it'll also be a nice way of comparing the performance of the channel on a monthly basis.

For the month of January 2019:

- 69 videos.

- Which is around 2415 minutes, or 40.25 hours, of con...

Vote on the next Patron series!

Hello everyone,

It's time for a new series to be decided on, Avatar will be coming to an end later today (26/11) so the new episode will come out the day after, giving you guys 24 hours to get your votes in!

Thanks for your continued support!

Sam

New Rewards

Friendly Patrons, 

A summary is at the bottom for those of you who don't want to read everything.

Twitch has recently announced their VIP program which allows streamers to give out unique rolls, loyalty badges etc to their viewers. I figure who else deserves it more than the people who actually keep the channel alive and well.

 I'll be adding the Twitch VIP reward to all the $5 and up patreon tiers, plus this will be a permanent thing so you won't lose it if you stop back...

BTS #1 - From Recording to Youtube

Patrons, Romans, Countrymen,

This is the first behind the scenes style video, hopefully, I'm not completely terrible at giving commentary that isn't about holy wars and war crimes.

This video shows my entire process from raw recording to finished Youtube video. I tried to include some useful stuff for those of you interested in starting your own Youtube channel, like thumbnails, export settings, or Youtube specific gubbins, so if you're not interested in the start-finish of the process, ...

Rewards

Friends,

To make sure we're on the same page, I'm updating the public google document with the Patreon rewards, that way if something is missing you guys can let me know. I've gone over all of the Patreon and Discord messages but some might have slipped through, and I don't want to miss anyone out.

At the end of the document is the end of video shoutouts. I know some people didn't want a shoutout so those names have been removed, please let me know if your name is on there and you'...

The Next CK2 Series

We're coming to the end of the Madworld series (unfortunately it's mostly down to the instability and crashing within the modpack). I'm working on a new completely seperate Madworld total conversion rather than a modpack build on other mods. But during the time it's going to take me to have this mod in a playable condition I want to know what comes next!

Monthly Update

Patrons and Friends,

I have an update video for you all today, not hugely important, just some reflection on Patreon, Youtube, Twitch revenue, and some content ideas for the future!

Patreon Series: Rimworld!

You guys voted, and the winner was Rimworld! I didn't to mention anything or influence the vote, but this was my favourite suggestion out of all of them, I have a good amount of time played (400 hours!) and it's a great story based game where we can rename poor characters, not unlike CK2!

To start things off I'm going to do a series on the basics, sort of a tutorial style let's play for a couple of episodes. I figured that way everyone knows what's happening and I can get to grips with th...

Patreon Series Voting

Patrons and Friends,

Now that my PC is finally working.

Based on the discussions we've had in discord, I want to know what you guys are interested in for the Patreon series! Your votes here will help me make of list of games we'll play for the Patreon series, don't worry if your choice doesn't win the poll, I'll get around to all of the most popular ones eventually!

New Series and Tier Changes

Dear Patrons and friends.

Before we begin;

 >>> PLEASE MESSAGE ME WITH YOUR CUSTOM NAMES <<< 

More on that below.

              I'm back from my time away and I've began the process of fixing my technical issues, the parts to fix my PC should arrive tomororw morning and then it's full steam ahead.

The next part of the Madworld series is starting later today, and t...

Patreon Early Series And Some Good News!

Patrons and Friends,

I'll start this with some great news, which some of you know already, as of the 28th of August the channel became FULLY monetised. This means that between the overwhelming generosity of everyone here, and the small, but helpful amount, of ad revenue the videos will generate themselves, I'm able to do this almost full time.

I never had any delusions of becoming a Logan Paul; turning Youtube into some cash cow to be exploited. All I wanted to do was be ...

Vote on the next series:

I'm getting ready to start a new series to take over from Game of Thrones. I've asked around the Patreon discord and mentioned it in some videos, so I've got a pretty good idea what people want to see. You guys can vote on what series we see first. I'll get around to doing all of these eventually so don't worry if your choice isn't the winner, this most like just going to be the order they come out in!

Thank You!

Wow, this was unexpected.
When I was considering putting this page up, it was under the assumption that it'd be a very slow burn, a few dollars here and there, and eventually it would help out a lot when it came to running the channel. I didn't expect that overnight I'd be more or less halfway to one of the major goals of the patreon. Even now I'm no longer running the channel at a loss, which a huge relief just by itself.

As for the specific backer rewards, a lot of you messaged me saying ...
