Hello there! Episode 1 of the Solcian game design series will be released today, April 8, at precisely 12:00 pm Eastern Time. It is now available for Channel members. This is now my favorite video, not just on my Channel, but in all of YouTube. There is something in it for everyone!
Everything begins with an idea.
We now have custom badges for the channel members! They are available to all member tiers. Our website, Solcian.com, and our dedicated subreddit are still being set up.
Solcian.com will be similar to how the Agile Manifesto website presents its values and members.

Requesting Your Support
Hi all! I would like to share that I have added a new tier for our channel members, called Channel Supporter. It is only $0.99 per month and is for those who would like to support the channel but are not interested in the creation of the Solcian Franchise. With this tier, you will be able to access all existing and future videos.
Your support will greatly help my channel in creating new videos regardless of the tier you select. I will share more about this in my next video, where I'll discuss my goal and dream of creating a new game and franchise called Solcian, along with six additional videos uploaded on the same day (seven videos in total.)
Hint: The image in the thumbnail below is the Sun God of the Inca, named Inti. He will play a big role in the epic story of Solcian. In various cultures, Sol means Sun.
The Next Batch of Videos
The image below shows the next batch of videos. Including the first video titled "My Mission: The Solcian Franchise", they will be 7 in total. They will all be uploaded at the same time, as I believe they need to be consumed together. Each video is around 20-30 minutes each (and have to be watched in sequence).
With these videos, you will learn how I developed the idea for the Solcian Franchise. After watching them, you will already know if this project is something that will excite and inspire you to join me.
Upcoming Batches of Videos
After this batch, there will be two more batches of videos, containing six each.
1) Core Pillars of Solcian - Six videos that explain how we will approach creating the franchise.
2) Defining the Boundaries of Solcian - Six videos that provide a concrete context on what kind of game and franchise we are creating, and how we can turn it into a reality.
Solcian Game Design
After the above batches of videos, the "actual" game design videos will begin, around 40 PLUS topics/videos in total, covering combat, game mechanics, etc. Each video will be around 20-30 minutes.
Let's make gaming history together!
The Dawn of Solcian
Dear all, as you may know, our channel is transitioning to Game Design. But the twist is, I am creating the game design videos not just to entertain, nor solely to inform. You can easily find those on other YouTube Channels. My goal is to bring us all to the same level of understanding so you can join me, if you choose to accept, in creating the Solcian Franchise. The Solcian Franchise is my vision of media content encompassing games, books, novels, TV shows, and films. It is a grand vision and I am inviting all of you to join me. This post could not do justice to what it entails, so in the upcoming video uploads, you will get not one, but a minimum of 7 videos explaining the Solcian Franchise and what it means to you. If this vision becomes a reality, it will change not just my life, but the lives of all who join me.
As a part of building our community, I have turned on the channel membership. You will be considered a Solcian the moment you join. There are two membership tiers - Patron and Collaborator. Both will get access to members-only videos and have early access to all future videos from now onwards. In addition, Collaborators will be invited to the exclusive Solcian Subreddit moderated by me and to the upcoming Solcian.com website.
In the next week, please watch the videos you want to consume on the channel, as some of them will be turned into members-only videos later.

Once in a while, a one-of-a-kind video comes out of nowhere and blows all expectations. This is a love letter to one of the greatest games ever made. It is a 12-hour epic documentary about Elden Ring and Shadow of the Erdtree. It will go live on Mar 9 at exactly 12 PM EST. Prepare some snacks and drinks! This is a big one! I hope you look forward to it!
Hi everyone! I'm glad that we've finally received the trailer for the Elden Ring DLC! Just a quick update on the complete version of the making of Elden Ring: it has now exceeded 7 hours and will be, at minimum, a 10-hour epic Elden Ring video. It's scheduled for release sometime in March. There's definitely some exclusive information here that you won't find elsewhere! Game developers and designers... you will love this!
Hi everyone! Thanks for waiting! There will be two versions of the Making of Elden Ring - The 3-hour version and the 7-hour version. The 3-hour version will be released today, Jan 23, at exactly 12:00 pm Eastern Time. The 7-hour version will be released sometime in February. I hope you look forward to our video today!
Key Differences:
The 3-hour version is for those just interested in the development side of Elden Ring, and it's structured similar to the Making of Dark Souls.
The 7-hour version is for those who want to learn everything about the production of Elden Ring, including the music, the localization, the design, the marketing, the reception and earnings, PLUS, the FromSoftware material I acquired. It's structured similar to the Making of Sekiro.
