Battle Bots 2.0 and more!

Another update post!

Overwatch is on it's way back, we have a Mini Myth filmed based completely around one of the myths from the last episode of Overwatch Myths. It's focused on Hanzo's Sonic Arrows getting stuck in certain things, then falling on people... yeah it sounds weird but we actually got some really interesting results from our tests. We actually intended to record a standard Overwatch Myths video but we found so many weird interactions with this one mechanic we decided to make it its own thing. No ETA on an official Overwatch Myth video.

I am starting the main planning and filming phase of Overwatch Battle Bots 2.0 today! I was hoping Orisa would get a bot like Ana and Sombra but she didn't for some reason which is kindof crappy but 2.0 is going to be very different from the original video. I created Battle Bots to be a kindof goofy video, focused on seeing the AI fight each other but people got more invested and frustrated on the fairness than I expected so 2.0 is going to be revamped and re-imagined to be as fair as I can make it. There will be a mini-tournament for each class type, Tank, Support, Offense and Defense, resulting in 4 overall winners, then after that, a final video with the champions of each class facing off. It's looking to be a 5-6 video series and probably the biggest project I have taken on so far.

We have recorded half of a Titanfall 2 Myths video. It's feeling like we might be kindof close to the end of Titanfall Myths, it will depend on future updates for the game and community finds but it's getting harder to come up with and find new ideas for the series. No official myth list for now until we have wrapped it up.

I still have a lot of Battlefield Myths left, the community and I tried to do a filming session last weekend but there was some weird server bugs. I still have some big ideas and there is a lot of future content coming from that game, Battlefield Myths is looking to be one of our longest series ever.

For all your $5 Patreons the 2nd episode of Defend The Podcast has been filmed! Me, Jamison and Ben had some long talks about Destiny 2, Call of Duty WW2 and PLAYERUNKNOWN BATTLEGROUNDS..

Speaking of PUBG, the DTH crew has been playing quite a lot of that game, when custom servers go public, we intend to make some good use out of them. Expect an official DTH PUBG server and also maybe some Myth videos? Who knows, it depends what we can come up with.

I think lastly is Prey, I should have access to that game today, it seems like theres some fun interactions to discover within different systems, I'm hoping to get a video out of it, we will see, depends on the game and I don't know much about it currently.

While getting out the usual content people have come to expect from DTH, I still want to continue to experiment with different ideas like the 'Greatest Repairman in Battlefield' video I put out recently. There's only so many Myth videos we can squeeze out of a certain game and also only a set amount of games that work for the format, if I want to keep DTH consistently active, I need to keep pushing with new video ideas.

Thanks for your continued support!
