Patreon video options

Any of these are good.

1 and 3 split the vote

Butter

I voted for only highlights, so that's what I want - but you know what? Like others have said, #1 and #3 actually win out over highlights if you add them together. I would not mind if you didn't do highlights and you did the full playthrough, since it looks like that is the actual majority. (But as always, do whatever is best for you!)

Oof 1 and 3 really split the votes on a full play thru.

Even though the highlights won the poll, would you consider also uploading the raw footage?

Excited for my first new ramble as a patron! Looks like I joined in at just the right time, been enjoying all the Nancy Drew hype!

I’m so excited!!!!! I can’t believe it finally happened !!!

If you release the edited version would it also be okay to see the raw footage? I feel like that would be cool!! If the editing is too much time/stress then just release the raw footage I think!!

I’m. So. Happy. We did it. We did it, y’all.

editing all that footage sounds like a pain, options 1 and 3 are your best bet, plus id rather see the full playthrough anyway

I'd prefer the edited version, but that sounds like it could be a lot more work, so whatever you want is fine :)

I would love both the edited and not edited version. The only thing I'm afraid of is the live-stream that I would probably miss out on with time zones... but if it then got uploaded later, then that could be fun too!

If you were going to do #2 already wouldn't #1 or #3 be roughly the same amount of work? Do a playthrough (live or not), make it available, but do an edited version as the main video.

The exclusivity of 3 makes it enticing, but I know and trust your ability to edit yourself. I played those Nancy Drew games a bit way back when, I'm excited because I remember them being awkward.

editing down the highlights might be easier to watch, but like, also it would involve extra work

options 1 and 3 are very similar and might be splitting the vote, maybe a revote with only the top 2? i think live streaming would be the perfect format for this, especially for a super fun sister stream!!

Agreed, I like having ultra long videos or old streams that I can spend hours watching. Jerma has some old Nancy Drew playthroughs.

I voted option 1, but I really would be happy with any unedited format. When I voted Nancy drew I expected it to be more free form/longer then the movie commentary.

Would much much much rather the raw footage from a stream or play through. Your long format videos are the best and I assume require the least amount of editing. Can’t wait!

Voting for option 1. I concur with the other members who don't want you to have to edit what is likely to be a several-hours-long playthrough. As much as I would like to go with option 3, I am strictly limited to Saturday night (Pacific time) for sitting in on a livestream.

I looked up the play time and it’s about 5h30’. It sounds like it’d be more fun for everyone if you can livestream it and interact with your sister! It’s a lot of raw footage to edit and I don’t want you to suffer like so. I’d appreciate the archived footage because I’m all the way in Japan and likely won’t be able to catch the whole thing.

i'm fine with any of them, just don't want you to have to deal with editing another massive video

I feel like the same logic can be used to say the people who want a recorded playthrough are also splitting their votes, and 70% of the voters don't want a live stream. I also think its worth noting that since people can see the results and change their vote, the fact that some people are sticking with option 1 even when they see its losing indicates that they dont mind if option 3 is losing to option 2, because otherwise they could just switch their vote to 3.

I think 1 and 3 are very similar options and its splitting the poll. The edited down highlights is winning, but more people want to see an unedited full playthrough, its just a split on whether they want it live streamed or not.

At first I voted for just the highlights, but then I saw that this game takes 4.5 hours to beat and really wouldn't want Jenny to have to edit that down. I'm voting for the livestream instead. Ultimately, I choose whatever is easiest and takes least time away from Jenny making her main-channel stuff.

i just bought it and i've been playing in preparation :) it's on sale on steam right now!

I'm voting for the middle option because I'm not a Livestream fan personally, but if it wouldn't be too much trouble for you I do think streaming it for the patrons who like that would be cool and then releasing the edited version is a good idea too :)

Nicholson Sisters stream please!!

Voting for Live because I'm hoping this'll gateway her back to Twitch... also the Nicholson Sisters is content I'm ready for.

I’m excited to check it out no matter which option wins!!

As mentioned above (and commented on by Jenny), the hybrid version makes everyone happy. I don’t think there’s anyone not willing to wait until the weekend (or a little later) if it means the Nicholson sisters together again. I just wanted to add that if there’s an edited highlights version, it could potentially be posted on the main YouTube channel, where it would be great content, but also a stealth ad for Jenny’s Patreon. I know I wouldn’t feel cheated as a Patreon supporter if everyone else occasionally gets a sense of what we get behind the garden wall!

Voted for option 2 but I hope it isn't too much extra work for Jenny :/

The real question is: Junior or Senior detective?

Full game please!

How long is the game? I don't mind any option, but a livestream might be difficult for everyone to make it to. Anything sounds good really though, as we could always watch the livestream later and that wouldn't be much different than option 1.

i’m worried 1 and 3 are splitting the vote a bit! definitely would love some kind of full playthrough

Vote livestream if you want to get her back on twitch

I think more people want 1 or 3 but it's splitting the vote! I don't mind how it's presented, but I would definitely prefer to see the full game. I usually watch let's play videos for the story of the game as well as the commentary from the person playing.

100% I'll never watch it if it's 3 hours long and mostly you sitting there reading text on the screen lol. I've never been into livestream formats, so the edited video is definitely my choice

either 1 or 3, i def want to see the full storyline !!

I went for the edited option because I'm usually not into livestreams, but these comments swayed my vote! We can get the full context of the game's mystery/storyline, and it'll be less work for more bonus content

I'm cool with any option. I'm just very excited you're playing a Nancy Drew games. I love them so much!!!!

See, I think a lot more people want the full thing but it's split between livestream and recording.

Damn, it's a shame that the livestream option is losing rn :(

I'd love a good old Jenny & sister livestream. Those were fun.

I'm 100% in support of a livestream and archive. Bring ProGamerJenny back

Unofficially I'm voting for 1 and 3, it'd be great to see the full game somehow

highlights would be convenient, but honestly, raw footage sounds faster and easier

Honestly, I'd love a highlights reel, but also would be super happy with an archived livestream or even the full playthrough footage.

I am so so excited for this idea!!

Even if highlights wins. Plz upload the raw somewhere. Sad times out here

Why the F did they not suggest you play the theme park one?

We all love drinking our gfuel and watching our ProGamerJenny

For something longer than 3 or 4 hours I'd say edit it down but since it seems like that game is only around 2 and a half hours long so you might as well show/stream the whole thing.

Ah the dangers of FPTP voting. At this rate edited will win despite more folks wanting some type of un-edited version.

i feel like for a game like nancy drew where theres a whole unraveling mystery, cutting it up into highlights would make the game itself hard to follow

I would vote 1 or 3. I like a good unedited playthrough

It would be nice to have your sister along for a play through! I enjoy you both on Twitch and would be a fun little bonus episode of that era

im good for any of these but a stream sounds like so much fun!

1 or 3 is fine. I voted 3. Longer is better.

Raw footage or livestream are my votes . . . Editing sounds like too much work for something that's supposed to be, like, a bonus

Everyone’s saying options 1 and 3 are splitting votes and I understand the reason, but my 2 cents is that prerecorded let’s plays and live streams have much different vibes, especially if there is a guest on the stream as well. Id love a combination of 1 and 2 but voted for 1 because whatever gives us maximum Jenny content is always best! Also if just curious, how do Patreon only lives streams even work?

Would the stream be on YouTube? I'm curious as to how an exclusive stream would work. Is it just private like a YouTube video?

People, why would we ask for less Jenny? Also, why would we deprive the world of Jenny?

I voted option 3 but I would also be fine with option 1. I'm guessing a lot of people are in this same boat (just wanting an unedited version) and it's giving the edited version an artificial lead. If option 2 does win I hope you'll still be willing to upload the unedited video.

yeah do whatever is easiest for you!!! i love the nancy drew games i’m so excited!!!!

I wonder what the result would be if 1 and 3 were combined.

Why make her do more work RAW FOOTAGE PLEASE

I agree with others that 1 and 3 are splitting the vote. I prefer 1 only slightly to 3, with 2 distant last

Whatever wins, please also dump the unedited raw footage somewhere, I will watch every second haha

I'm ok with any of the options, though it would be nice to see the unedited game. Seeing Jenny and her sister playing a game together again would be cool!

Omg yes. I've played almost every HeR Nancy Drew game, and I am so excited for this. I voted for a livestream because I think it would be fun, but realistically you should probably do an edited video. The Nancy Drew games are very similar to the Vampire Diaries game (though much better, from the looks of that one) and involve a fair bit of going around in circles, retrying dialogue trees and clicking various things until you find the interaction that unlocks the next puzzle/plot beat.

If you're going to do a highlight video doesn't it make sense to stream your playthrough nonetheless? 2 birds with one stone. Personally I'd prefer watching a stream.

its really on brand that jenny fans would also be nancy drew fans. im so proud of this community.

I feel like 1 and 3 are similar and a lot of votes are going to be split between the two and it’s going to lose bc of that when there’s actually more that want the whole thing. Like the current top comment said, I like the patreon for the rambles specifically!!

I voted, but you should do whatevers easiest for you. I wouldn't want to make it super difficult for you since it adds lots of extra workload/stress.

As somebody who watched people do full let’s play of Nancy Drew games in the past, I would be down for an unedited experience. I think this is an overall entertaining game to watch compared to some of the other ones I’ve seen

I'm gonna play devil's advocate here and say that I prefer the edited option (even tho most people voted for it so far) because... 1) I have assignments and exams at university right now and I don't have much time for livestreams and playthroughs- and those things are usually long- and I have a short attention span so yeah. 2) I feel like an edited video might be more useful for people like me who are barely familiar with Nancy Drew. I just think instead of the dead spaces, having like a video that shows what's this game from your POV sounds more entertaining and informal I guess. Plus in my opinion, part of the quality of your videos is your editing with the jumpcuts lol. Anyway, still down for whatever wins

un-edited is "winning" at 56-57%, big question is Live or Recorded ?

please share the whole game!! as either 1 or 3

Love the engagement of the livestream, but as a viewer I find the interaction distracting if I’m watching/listening to it as an LP.

Would it be cheeky to ask that you do this poll again with the top two options because I think most people see the difference as giving you more editing work/getting less content

I really think the Livestream would be SO fun. Especially if your sister would be willing to be the designated chat person to cut down on noise. Like if there's a question that she thinks is good or a comment that was funny, she would read it to you but otherwise you don't see the chat and the inevitable backseat gaming or get bogged down with questions and comments. But that would be a lot of pressure on your sister. The edited version may be a lot of extra work or it may be just cutting out time spent going in a circle because the next thing you need to do wasn't obvious. Since I'm not really sure how much work it would be for you and I don't mind sitting through or manually fast forwarding through long silent parts, I don't really think editing is necessary. So it really comes down to how much audience participation would you be willing to put up with? Also I vote definitely stream on a weekend if at all possible.

1/3 is really going to split the vote 😭

For option 2, will we still get to see the whole story, or will it be more of a compilation of your favorite moments? I’d like to follow along with the story, but I’m okay with editing down segments that are boring or long

I think since the point of rambles is that they're meant to be less work for Jennie, an unedited version makes most sense. Whether that's a livestream archive or pre-recorded doesn't matter much to me.

It's possible you could play for like an hour and then have the computer crash and lose all the footage.... That would suck!

I chose the stream, which doesn't appear to be winning, but if it does, the weekend would be great. It's a long weekend here in NZ so I might actually be able to watch this time. :)

the nancy drew games are full of amazing point and click jank and legit weird charm and i've watched a streamer i follow stream at least two so i know they're good stream material and would love to watch that

As others have said, if you go for the edited version it would be great if you could upload the uncut version as well. I love long let's plays/streams to have on while I'm doing other things and, depending how it's edited, I find highlights less engaging because I want all the context lol. Ultimately though whatever you find easier to do or think you'd enjoy the most is fine by me!

1 and 2 see getting vote-split tbh i just know it 😭😭

60% want raw, sooner or later. (technically xor in this case)

I think a livestream would be really fun! I’m 8 hours ahead here in Ireland, but I’d go out of my way to watch along! I wouldn’t mind waiting until whenever it’s handy for you to film.

Even as someone who's played through the game a handful of times, I'd love to see the raw footage!

Chose option 3 since it seems like a good way to attract people to the Patreon. 2 would be good too though, Jenny's editing is always great.

I have played a lot of Nancy Drew games and they are LONG! I think an edited version would be the better watching experience, but I know that is more work for you!

I've watched many Nancy Drew livestreams and due to the nature of the game being very puzzle heavy, a LOT of backseat gaming tends to happen, whether you want it to or not. I'd really like to see a video if only for your purest reaction to this iconic game and iconic game series.

Live stream or unedited playthrough. Less editing work for you :) just depends if you want to read chat and have that play into your playthrough or not. 💙

option 3 could be a whole heap of fun, but option 2 is the most sensible, I voted 3 as I can see Jenny having a good laugh with the chat and her sister!

Omg I miss your twitch streams so much we got so much fun content with them I hope option 3 wins

lol - this will split the raws.

Livestream if only for added sister commentary!

As far as option 2 is concerned, sometimes people edit down the footage if there is a particular uneventful part of the footage and edit that out. “Highlight” may be a bit subjective. This could mean there may not be a lot of editing depending on what happens regarding your commentary or what happens in game.

If the highlights win wld u be willing to upload the raw as well? I want to see the whole mystery lololol

If edited down wins please also put out the raw footage. I have a hard time with edited game playthroughs because they're too engaging for background content but not engaging enough to focus on. Unedited stuff is the perfect kind of chill content for doing the dishes or tidying up.

Who else is terrified to vote because they don't know what will create large amount of work for Jenny? I really want to avoid that. Basically, I don't want option 2.

I would be so pumped for a livestream 💖

1) I just gasped SO LOUD I'm delighted 2) Gab Smolders does playthroughs of Nancy Drew games on Twitch and then lightly edits them for YouTube, you could take a look at one of those for an idea of what might work!

I didn't understand how highlights are winning since we love to see you ramble Jenny, but as someone mentioned perhaps options 1 and 3 are splitting the votes. Plenty of let's players don't edit their stuff and i personally prefer that! ☺️

A Livestream whenever you get the chance would be great. But, honestly, whatever works for you

If I could catch the livestream, that would be great, but with my schedule…? So I went with the edited version, but it was a very close decision. I’ll be happy any way you decide!

I don't have time to watch long streams so I'd love an edited down one even if it takes longer to produce/get out.

I’d love a livestream but would be happy w/ any of these tbh. Take your time, looking forward to watching :)

whatever is the least work for you

Imo, edited down is better if the whole stream ends up being 2+ hours. Any shorter than that and it's not worth the time to edit it down.

Is there anyway you could do both option one and two? I don't want to over complicate it tho.

oh my gosh the jenny/nancy drew crossover will fufill all of my dreams. i will wait for this forever. take your time

I can't help but feel like 1 and 3 are going to split votes because they're theoretically a very similar outcome for those unable to make the live stream, but either way I'm very excited to see train related gaming

Ooh I would love a livestream! I would prefer a weekend, so maybe if that wins do another vote for a date/time.

More content, always more content

Darn, I was really wanting a livestream version. I really like that chill vibe. Regardless, I'm SO excited for this!

Weekend stream would be really cool!

This seems like a pretty big undertaking. I'd be happy to wait until the weekend for the video.

I don't care if this gets pushed back or anything! Take your time, Jenny! P. S. I got this Patreon notification while listening to the MusicalSplaining podcast episode you guest starred on to discuss Disney's Descendants lol.

Please give us the longest content possible, people do not vote for the highlights option I’m begging you 😭

I say option one, just to save you having to do a ton of extra editing work. You already do so much!

Return of the horsegirl gamergirl streams!
