DOC #1 IS LIVE: The Story of Rocket League - How To Build a Rocket

YOUTUBE LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om0j9SLBDPQ

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

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

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

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!

Naoyuki Harada · November 1, 2016

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

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!

Mark Davis · October 31, 2016

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!

J
Jackson Roye · October 31, 2016

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

Great work man! Excited to watch part two!

Kev Dellaq · October 31, 2016

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!

Kenneth Høgh · October 31, 2016

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!

J
Jason Cluck · October 31, 2016

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

Ryan White · October 31, 2016

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!

Brandon K Gann · October 31, 2016

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!

Jeff Freeman · October 31, 2016

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

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?

Khetix · October 31, 2016

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. :-)

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.

Martin Power · October 31, 2016

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.

J
James Huffman · October 31, 2016

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.

Jeff Cole · October 31, 2016

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.

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
