Fragments of Him has been a labour of love for well over 2 years and soon everyone will be able to enjoy the experience we have carefully crafted during this time. Due to the special nature of Fragments of Him we have a favour to ask of our Let’s Play community.

What we ask of everyone who uploads gameplay for the enjoyment of others is a simple request: please do not upload a full playthrough of Fragments of Him without your commentary or creative input. While we believe that Let’s Plays and similar formats add a great amount of value to games as a whole, as Fragments of Him is a narrative drama and we are dependent on the story we have drafted, simply uploading game footage would spoil this experience immensely. We believe that simply uploading the game footage does not benefit the community and is a harmful practice for developers. For a two-man studio this could be the difference between us being able to craft another project for your enjoyment or calling it quits.

We respect that you want to share the games that you love, and we hope that you are excited to share some of your experiences with Fragments of Him. For this reason, we currently have no intention of having any Content IDs on the game or its music, and will not claim (or take down) any of your videos. We respect the work that you put into your videos, all we ask in return is that you respect the work that we have done: please add your own contributions to the videos, don’t publish only a screen capture your play.

A way of sharing creative content with your audience that benefits everyone is by showing and discussing your experience of a portion of Fragments of Him up to a point that you deem is fair.   From concept to consumption, if we don’t work together in bringing games to an audience in a way that supports the creators then we are condemning experiences such as linear narrative games before they are made.

Streaming is a little different: it goes directly to an engaged audience and is a live, interactive medium. We love streaming and hang out on Twitch daily, as such you’re free to stream Fragments of Him to your viewers and we’d love to hear what you (and your viewers) think of the experience.

Put simply, if you want developers to keep making story-based campaigns, or games like Fragments of Him which are very heavily narrative-experience focused, please think carefully before sharing past the mid or late-game content, which for us is from after the first hour or-so.

Once again, we do not want to take down or claim any of your videos and look forward to seeing them, but please make them your video, not only re-sharing our content. Also don’t forget to send them to us, we love seeing what everyone thinks of the game!
