Hey folks!

You're all invited to our six-month celebration event for Second Wind on May 30th LIVE on YouTube.

New announcements, teasers for upcoming things, raffling off some game consoles, giving away a ton of game codes, releasing a new set of merch and more!

We'll be streaming for 9 hours straight, playing a variety of games with the community, continuing the Dokapon Kingdom campaign and just having a good time.

We can't wait to see you there and showcase what we've got planned for the rest of the year! As usual, if you'd like to support, Patreon is the best way to do so.

Our goal is to use this event to continue raising funds towards our long-term sustainability.

Thank you for all your support already, and we can't wait to celebrate with everyone on the 30th!

FEEDBACK SECTION

Next, for those of you on Patreon.

With Second Wind now being six months old, I wanted to take a moment and check-in with you all on how you're feeling about the channel, the Patreon, and any other feedback or suggestions you might have.

Feedback was a huge part of how we continued to improve at The Escapist and I want to continue that here! Whether it's good feedback, bad feedback, or something you'd like to see on Second Wind, it's all useful information for us.

Thank you, and I look forward to reading your responses!

Hi all! Our personal favourites are: Backdrop, Chronicles, Cold Take, Design Delve, DMC. Also enjoyed the GDC coverage and Darren's articles. Would love to see more HBD streams and similar to Goldeneye, where Marty plays some old film tie-in while Darren and Frost chat s**t - that was a treat! Thanks for all the great content 😁

1/ If you want feedback, make a form so that it can be submitted properly. I asume you want to colate and discuss the matters arising for internal discussion. 2/ Please include captions on the immages used in columns. Darren's columns are well researched with links to many other articles, so it is strange not to have captions on the images. 3/ I like the new Bytesised reviews, snappy and indy focused. I do think there is room for a slightly longer more personal take on an individual's experience with a game - probably in a different series to avoid confusong the matter. 4/ Try to avoid multiple reviews for the same game. Only happened a few times. 5/ Better communication on which staff are members of Second Wind and who are contractors. More to manage people's expectations than anything - maybe a meet the team type summary in the 'About' tab on Patreon? 6/ Sometimes, I do worry that the Pheonix tier members aren't getting value for money (I am not a Pheonix tier member). 7/ Overall you are doing great. To have got this far in six months is brilliant. Keep up the good work.

Late to the party, written too much, here's the short version: 0) Thank you - all of you behind the scenes as well - for these six months with an ever growing amount of very enjoyable content! 1) Team visibility: I think you are a great team with a rich and varied set of tastes, experiences and approaches. I only wish you would show this off a bit more. 2) To the reviewers: If you think a game has merits as a narrative, say something meaningful about that, so that I can decide whether I care to buy the game to experience its narrative content (independent of a more gameplay-based decision). 3) I would appreciate the odd hint on interesting games a bit closer to "strategy games" (I don't mean "hardcore" RTS). (I will DM the longer version as I think it might still be useful.)
