Upcoming Content, Ace Creators Partnership and More!
🕑 Added 2024-09-26 15:51:43 +0000 UTC
Few announcements to make today.
KC and Marty should be wrapping up DMC 5 this evening, which means their next stream series is just around the corner! They'll be moving on for KC's first time playing through the Metroid Prime series.
Our PAX West content is also edited and ready to go. Tomorrow you'll be getting our really fun Scavenger Hunt video we filmed, and on Monday you'll be getting our Favorite Games of PAX West video.
Tomorrow Marty and Jack will also be streaming the opening hours of the new Zelda game at 9 AM CT. So, wake up bright and early for that one, should be a fun time.
October is also just a few days away which means the team will be doing some special livestreams throughout the month playing through horror games as per our yearly tradition!
ACE CREATORS PARTNERSHIP
Next, you may have seen we've partnered with Ace Creators. They're an influencer management agency that will help us with acquiring bigger brand sponsorship deals going forward like you've already seen via a different agency on Fully Ramblomatic (NordVPN, Manscaped, etc).
They're a smaller more focused agency, however, so we're hoping to get more brand deals that are better targeted at our audience. They just earn commission on deals they make, so this comes at zero cost to Second Wind.
On our end we'll continue working on our own sponsors for indie games and smaller companies like Roll for Combat as we have been, and some work for hire projects completely separate from our sponsorship campaigns.
No changes to how we do ads, where they're placed, and we still have full creative control like we have been doing them.
ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY SOON
Lastly our Patreon has obviously taken a dip over the last couple months with recent events. Our next quarterly financial report will be out in early October. We're doing OK and we would let the community know if we were not!
However, we would like to get that number going back in the right direction so we'll be starting to soft promote the Patreon again next month before our one year anniversary in November (seriously, it's already been one year!). If you haven't joined up yet, now would be a great time to do so if you'd like to support what we make here.
We're planning a big livestream event for our one year to celebrate, new merch and more. We'll let you know when that stream will be in the next couple weeks.
As always, thank you for your support and have a good day!

I really respect that decision. Fingers crossed the next financial report further helps strengthen your case over the other guys.

Let's see how my first paycheck looks. Phoenix tier, here I come! Time to warm up this winter climate!

A very fair choice! Keep up the great work, and thank you for taking the time to answer my question :) can't wait for more great content from you all!
Nick Calandra
No. Our statements, and us continuing to do our jobs are our response.

I believe that was from the first wave of unpleasantness. I meant the most recent 😅 sorry I wasn't clear! (I did love what they did with each individual giving their perspective it felt very transparent)
Michael Alicea
They already released a big statement
milaek
Is there any plan to comment on the unpleasantness? On one hand I completely get not wanting to re-involve in something that's been very drama intensive and a source of community infighting. On the other I feel like not releasing some kind of statement makes a lot of opportunities for viewer ignorance to lead to more losses of viewership. In either case yall still have my support!

Agreed Tim. That last vid was nasty. Using 'journalism' as a cover to disclose conversations and internal documents was in such poor taste, it only prompted me to support SW more this month.

Some awesome cosplayers we met at PAX. You'll see them in the video.

Keep grinding! Your work is great, and I'm happy to support the team.
John Smith
the most productive patreon I've ever supported. You guys rock.

It’s a shame the “unpleasantness” has actually done some harm because I’ve found this to be a stellar year, Battlemasters in particular is a must watch for me. Hopefully you bounce back higher than ever but I appreciate you taking some ownership of the dip and the cause.

Season 4 is in editing! We're still working through the remasters, and Season 4 is planned for early next year!

Aside from a bump or two in the road you guys have had a great year, thanks for the quality work all.
