YogTours - Seven Days Later

So we're in. It's been hard work and the whole team has worked their asses off. Check out the latest look of YogStudios and see what you think we should do to make it even sexier!

[@shikamaruLB1991]

Would love to see like "A Day with Turps" just to see your working day.

[@ericeinarson6654]

Can we please get this as the number one comment?! I so badly want to see this!

[@PerfectlyFunctioningAI]

im down for that i too am super curious!

[@rnottrnott5528]

Starts the day with a glass of red wine.

[@ollimartikainen]

gotta stay on that brand :)

[@a1ph4n3rd]

You should totally have a tv just dedicated to a livestream of sips' dad garage, so he can feel like he's part of the action

[@JamesSDO]

I don't think it would be a good idea incase he decides to have Special Sips Time

[@chickendew2223]

+James SDO Making dirt?

[@JamesSDO]

Exactly

[@Drphil444]

this

[@GuilhermeMFC]

Where does sips live exactly? Not in Bristol?

[@ChevronMA]

for the blank white wall, you should ask Nina to do a mural of past favourite memories/moments/highlights from series, jingle jams and streams. Because your amazing new space is the result of all your hard work over the last few years, it would be nice to pay homage to the things you have done along the way. The moments should be chosen by you guys as well so it's personal to you as well as the fans

[@jamiemoran8427]

Siobhan Crees Yep

[@KaySan666]

my suggestion was a group artwork of all the current employees. then put a nice little plaque next to it with 2017 and repeat the artwork (or rather change it acordingly) every few years, and hang it up next to it. I think it would be a nice reminder to all of them what they've acchieved, and would be a great welcoming to anyone new.

[@TheKieranator]

I would paint fake corridors on the end of the corridors so they look like they go on forever.

[@Manhole87]

TheKieranator this

[@crazymilan93]

Nah, they should make it look like a door with a window, and when you "look" through the window you can see Sips' dad garage

[@shaunlomax1]

You need plants in the office since it lacks windows

[@RedSntDK]

Yup, those corridors are perfect for plants.

[@shaunlomax1]

RedSaint83 exactly what I was thinking!

[@Mintteacup_]

Sked NEC. XD

[@KaySan666]

or, as i've written in my comment to them, floor length photographs of forests, scenery, and landscape in these deadspaces. the main hallway decked with game artwork printed on square canvas , and all of it aligned at the Top. Personally i'd also add a green wall (Moss wall) somewhere, maybe in their creator mainspace as a divider between the kitchen area and the desks.

[@Louiscypher93]

You just need cardboard cut outs of you Turps at the end of every corridor. With red LED's in they eyes and motion activated random catchphrases.

[@st0rmforce]

I like this, combined with the suggestions from other people of having cutouts of sips in sexy swimwear and lewis in the bee costume.

[@Louiscypher93]

when you say Sips in sexy u underwear I'm picturing photoshoped onto the bodies of models

[@victor97O6]

Oh yes, they need a painting of lewis, and under it is a voicebox and a button, pressing the button plays a random lewis quote, to the whole office, and whoever presses it gets to wear a dunce cap for the rest of the day.

[@Hopstar88]

For the corridor ends around the recording spaces, how about glass display cases. Each member of the yogscast seems to have items that signify a memorable event, character, or key episode on their channel. They could all put something(s) in and it would make a kind of 'museum of yogscast history'.

[@arbaks3124]

Turps, just wanted to say thank you for doing those. I love them, they never fail to bring a smile to my face, seeing how all of you are excited for the new place and for the future. Thank you very much again, from an old and faithful Yognaught.

[@PDShredz]

put a shelf with some premium dirt on it.

[@oftheBlazingNinjas]

That dirt's gotta come from the Fuku Shitu factory somewhere in Asia, very premium.

[@cookietongs]

8 Inches of Pure Power sipsco dirt

[@stygn]

I know the yogscast make a decent living, but they're not THAT rich! Maybe some souvenir dirt made out of plastic or something.

[@FluffyDragon]

Premium ant farm

[@Kmeierocircus]

Two ideas for you. First; mirrors, mirrors make the illusion of space, you'll see large mirrors in small homes to make it seem less claustrophobic. Not that this place looks small by any means, but it could make the difference between someone leaving there going, "that place was pretty big" to "THAT PLACE WAS REALLY BIG". Secondly; wipe boards or an easle with a roll of cheap paper over it. If you're going to have a parade of relatively creative people shuffling through there, you might as well let them create. Some people may just sign their names, but it's more than nothing.

[@tomyboy39]

You could have a little rotating merch/fan gifts shelf at the end of the corridor

[@rawrmcsaurs6052]

Tom Newby nothing better than potential profits!

[@drzoidberg9758]

Tom Newby speaking of merch anyone notice turps was wearing a syndicate original t shirt?

[@edwardtoast3889]

Do a security drill, Because there ALOT of expensive shiz in there

[@jamiemoran8427]

SwagsMcMuffin Just give Smiffy and Duncan their airsoft guns back, they're the yogscast home guard

[@edwardtoast3889]

LOL!

[@friendlyfire10]

a big picture of parv at the end of the corridor

[@OodldoodlNoodlesocks]

Didn't he leave the yogscast?

[@lewisnorth1188]

Oodldoodl Noodlesocks he was never really in it to begin with XD

[@sglyph]

God, I love the Yogscast. Been watching for over four years and I'm so pleased to see you guys get bigger and more successful in everything you do. This new office is just the beginning of the second book in the Yogscast series. Once again, I love you and everything you do I admire. It's just a massive shame that your view count has decreased so much and it really makes me sad. Oh well, I guess all I can say is that I love you and I'm happy with everything you do. Love, Dave!Yognaught! Xx

[@ehall9149]

In the dead spaces you could get a giant wall sticker to make it look like the corridor continues on but each one can be themed to look like a different popular game on the yoga cast channels

[@outsofbounds]

thanks for pointing out where all the expensive stuff is, it will make it easier to steal it :)

[@itsukiaa]

collaborative project 😂😂

[@ramlrm7121]

Lol that's why you keep your pistol strapped to your waist at all times!

[@EthanfromEngland-]

BANNED

[@itsukiaa]

Ethan Cox ?

[@ZandorClegane]

Yeah that's right, rip the air con out the ceiling

[@EmulatedNostalgia]

For that dead space how about putting that L4D safe room door on the wall and get some artwork painted to make it look like the inside of a safe room. Will make it look like another room instead of a dead end.

[@the_dksilver]

Well done everyone! From small beginnings, as one example, podcasts over WoW videos, to this, is simply amazing! Everyone part of the Yogscast throughout the journey, you are an inspiration. To Lewis and Simon, I will salute and then bow to you Sirs! Thank you for the years of entertainment. Thank you.

[@Klekowksii]

At the end of the hallway, have a mirror, but one that is also a monitor. At random points, make the grudge or something crawl up really fast, scaring the shit out of someone who isn't expecting it.

[@missunderstoodmaniac]

You've gotten better at filming tour-style xD Thank you so much again for the tour! It looks so damn nice in there. You guys must be really proud of how far you all have come. :) I sure am.

[@RoronoaZoroSensei]

I wonder just how much all of this cost... all of those monitors, the ipads, the servers, the air conditioners, the tables and chairs, painting the walls, the locks, and all the man hours of putting all that stuff in... But it really looks like a total dream-office, I hope you guys keep it in shape :D

[@Bellellelle0826]

RoronoaZoroSensei well for quite a few things like the desks and similar sets of equipment for the computers and such were given to them by different companies. if you go to their instagram and go back a few day, you can see an image of the big studio before they got all the desks, there is similar sets of stuff on the ground where each desk was supposed to go, so they probably got that for either free or a lot cheaper because they got it in bulk, and the desks from what I've heard in videos were given to them aswell once again either for free or cheaper in bulk. and if they did get then at reduced or free price then they just had to say where they got it from as a deal for the desks and computer stuff

[@demery1551]

My theory is that Turps is selling drugs to little kids.

[@jjaaamm]

Was sad to see you go Turps.. you really worked hard on the Yogs work space and you're a great entertainer in your own right

[@xprt4hire551]

My first thought when I saw hatfilms room: hmm. This could use Zip Ties to organize the wires, and personal name plates for organizing the room.

[@robotword]

Turps just started watching your vlogs recently. seriously mate keep them. you're always got a fantastic way at presenting.

[@JOOOOOOOE]

im gonna miss the glorious sounds of the seagulls

[@cleomis]

Well now they have a fire alarm

[@barrasolen]

The new offices are beautiful! I'm honestly so proud of how far you've all come.

[@TheArcaneDistrict]

At the end of the hallways you could put a BIG LED infinity mirror, with a Yoglabs sign above it :)

[@Mr1996lygin]

I don't know why, but i felt proud when I watched the video and saw how far has the Yogcast developed. Been a fan since 09'. None of my friends watch this because its not the norm here (Malaysia). I'm just proud and happy for the Yogcasts.

[@xmame100]

on the wall put a collage of all the members of the yogscast

[@GhostGiraffe]

Love the work that went into the studios. Great job Turps. So much to think about and make sure it's done right.

[@lfc490]

Holy shit that cost some money! Looks good Turps! Also for the walls put some fan art there, that would be really cool.

[@Ghost_Recon_Actual]

Great work Turps. You've done an outstanding job setting up the new spaces. Congrats Turps.

[@jordencarmi2486]

YogTowers 2.0 Looks Amazing !!!

[@Roof5tone]

Man, this is a proper set of studios. And the office area is looking magnificent, you can see it on their Instagram too. Everyone looks super happy with the new space.

[@ColonelCactus89]

You should encase an editor in carbonite for one of the hallways. I vote Harry.

[@sTonedMuShRoomCap]

For stuff on the walls you can always make some sort of fan contest, with a listing of ideas, and then people make their design around that idea, then you hold a vote for your favourites around the yogscast. selected winners win something idk, stuff gets printed or sent, smack it on the wall, then you got yourself some lovely contribution from your community, and a friendly reminder of who you guys entertain everyday, and may it be a source of inspiration and motivation! Cheers, I'm baked

[@maceroni5869]

Still love yogs

[@trentb3148]

You can tell how excited Turps is with how many videos of this he's done. Happy for ya Turps.

[@Dictator-lf8rv]

The new yogtowers is what professional YouTubing looks like.

[@kaiandollie]

Brilliant, love these behind the scenes videos. Your studios look awesome.

[@ballinbalgruuf8198]

When he says XBOX ON, is he referring to the XBOX ONE channel that they were sharing offices with before? (along with PS Access)

[@Weeb1gman]

Cheers for taking the time to update us Turps. We know you're very busy as of late. I'm also very jealous of the your aircon, my house is like an oven at the moment.

[@najtrows]

Hodor holding a door should be at the end of that corridor

[@italialyanoboi]

Its amazing how far the Yogscast has came since its humble beginnings, the new office looks fab, the dead space could use a water tower or tea and coffee station

[@Jod-rh8xx]

there is 21 desks in that control center, there looks to be about 8 in the editors room, and about 10 recording studios, why so many? Why would they need more than 1 pc each? Unless they have 40 employees which i highly doubt. I understand they rent out the recording studios but there would be still too many with just the control center and editor room put together. Am i missing something

[@DjJoe666]

The Yogscast employ 68 people (as of 2016) - So I'd say the number's about right.

[@NutsAndThighs]

By the looks of the open floor plan, they may have everyone, not just content creators, out in the big room. So support staff, administrators, that accountant, business manager types (Turps), etc. and anyone else they employ.

[@MyNutcake]

So nice to see Turps lovin' his work and keeping busy, the work he does I imagine is pretty stressful but he seems to be having the time of his life.

[@Wolfencreek]

Did all of the yogscast sell a kidney for this place .-.

[@JLawlietK]

lewis actually sold his soul.

[@lunaalex6487]

They sold Tom off as a sex slave

[@koenig1107]

No, they deserved it thats why the have the place..

[@Karecmeister]

Lewis payed for it with his pocket money

[@christianpoulsen4164]

Guess they just used some of Lewis' millions.

[@TheMightyOrangeShow]

You don't fully realise how big KZbin is as a business until you see a fully fledged office building dedicated to just one network

[@bepsi6204]

Put Lewis's tryhard face on the walls

[@LogtasticLogan]

In the lobby area you could have a television or a projector that displays various pieces of art that say "YogsCast Studios". Then you could add fan art and anything else into the rotation at your discretion.

[@strangetoenail]

How about an image collage using video thumbnails

[@SomeKindofWizard]

A nice big mirror in the end-spaces for corridors is always a good move. Makes a place seem larger and brighter... which is generally a good idea if you don't want an office space to get claustrophobic

[@JackOTVUK]

call the new place yogTWOers

[@jothamhousden6363]

Jack O'Connor TV they're not Welsh.

[@TerdleYT]

For all the dead ends: Why not have some artwork on there, offset it slightly from the wall so there's a gap. And put led lighting behind it. Maybe colored light same as the wall color, that way it lights up the ends, looks fancy and fits in with all the high end looks of tablets on the walls. To offset it easily, use desk raisers and glue them to the frame of the artwork. Or use small rubber feet.. You can do the same with the yogscast logo. Add plexiglass to the parts you want light to come through. Really easy to make and design. To cut costs you can contact a laser/water cutter yourself, or make it a school project, I know a few UK schools have hardware like that, and will do it at near 0 cost.

[@joem4683]

a huge picture of Harvey J Yogscast

[@rocketmister7186]

I love yogscast so much so glad you got a new better office and can't wait for the years to come in here

[@Leo-lx8bu]

the heat in the UK is killing me, idk how the Americans and the rest of the world cope tbh, no aircon, and I'm dying from heat :(

[@braincell4536]

Thydar because we have aircon? and thats how we cope with it, so buy an aircon or crack open a window and wear all white

[@joshturnbull4791]

Thydar it's because of aircon

[@lookoutforchris]

Thydar Americans cope by having air conditioners in our cars/businesses/homes. We also have pools, lakes, rivers, and oceans. Also we travel to cooler places... heat wave in LA? Drive to the mountains and go skiing. Also the northern parts of the country don't really get that hot (usually).

[@Leo-lx8bu]

well, u guys are lucky :)

[@Leo-lx8bu]

yeah dude, sadly I'm not rich and cant just randomly splash out on an aircon unit which ill only use for 2 weeks of the year, so no I cant do that, plus the windows are open 24/7 in my house, the temp is still exactly the same

[@brandonmunford4375]

You guys have done a wicked job already, made the place like home so fast

[@Theuniversearch]

5:58 Anybody else hear that subtle ambience?

[@rawrmcsaurs6052]

The Universe Arch it's the humming of nuclear reactor turps did not show. Nothing to worry bout. Prolly the air cons really.

[@dc619]

Love seeing this. Great work, hope you guys continue being amazing :)

[@WodBoards]

A vending machine? damn that'd be cool, like a public one for KZbinrs who use your space?

[@rawrmcsaurs6052]

Josh Games for every video they make they get x amounts of tokens for the machines

[@WodBoards]

haha yeah that'd be cool

[@Noah_Whitaker]

The end of the hallways should just have shrines of Turps- scratch that. Make the entire building a shrine of Turps.

[@VideoSage]

I love you guys so much more than Rooster Teeth. So much more down to earth, where as RT seems to have become extremely corporate in recent years.

[@iRicowin]

Been here since 2008, so glad to see everyone's hard work paying off. I had a semi this whole tech-update.

[@pitfriend6492]

Can you make an "ex-yogtowers" video later? Just break into the apartments of the previous building you were located in and show what it's like after people have moved in and do some reminiscing.

[@rawrmcsaurs6052]

Pitfriend yes pls

[@rawrmcsaurs6052]

Pitfriend they also have enough men to pull of a heist

[@marcaxe]

"I love the sit-stand sensation" "I love it, standing up. I think it's really fun" Buy your Cinco sit-stand desk today.

[@SirRebrum]

Would be cool if someone made a TTT or Prop Hunt map based on the office

[@cloudcat_]

Someone did make it, they played TTT with it a while ago

[@xray606]

Pro tip... Office supplies usually sell cardboard corner covers. You tape those on wall corners with blue tape, and put down particle board on the floors while you move... then the whole joint doesn't get trashed, and you don't have to paint and clean everything all over again. (wink-thumbs up) :)

[@damanorelse]

It surprises me that the yogscast is able to afford to run a propper business like this. I mean what do they make, like 1M a year in revenue? and they have like 20 full-time employees plus all that fucking tech and a huge office? Honestly, I'm scared about how long the yogscast is going to be around for with all the youtube drama about ad revenue and demonetization and stuff, not to mention, this biz has always been time sensitive; are people going to watch Lewis make minecraft lets plays when he is 50? I'm just grateful Yogscast has mostly not compromised on content all this time. They're pretty much the only gaming channel on youtube I can stomach. Fuck Markiplier and septickie, yogscast doesn't do screaming, stupid voices, and fake intros like everyone else. the closest we get is Duncan being a sperg sometimes and also dunc making a dumb brand deal from time to time.

[@donalmcfadden7594]

That's probably the reason they have rent out rooms to the public. So they can make a bit extra. It probably isn't a guarantee but it probably helps.

[@Lars_Maassen]

damanorelse according to wikipedia the Yogscast company made 8.637.549 pound in revenue in 2016.

[@MrWorrol]

damanorelse you'd actually be surprised how much money they make, since they've had the full time streaming id bet their revenue is at an all time high. You can also see them branching into other forms of content as well which is helping the stabilise the longevity of their company. But it's nice to see them start taking off a tad more and this new office looks way more spacious and more efficient.

[@wittyreviewer]

If you want a little insight into how they work business wise I recommend checking out the cliff notes from the Bored Meeting streams, where Lewis and Turps shoot the shit about the company. Basically, they want to make it successful without having to sell out. Any brand deals they take, for instance, are only for games they were planning on playing anyway. I believe Lewis also said that, although they'd prefer it if you didn't use adblock and whatnot, merch on the store nets them far more than ads on videos do. Luckily it seems the powers that be in the Yogs also have a mind for business as well as fun. They seem to have reached the point where a team will either falter and die or thrive and worked past it, which I congratulate them for. The only time they've had to make real sacrifices was the firing of Minty and Teutron, which Lewis said he hated doing and wouldn't have if they had a choice. Branching out into streams has certainly helped, I imagine.

[@ericeinarson6654]

You'd be surprised- despite declining views and the ad-pocallyse, they've diversified their income enough to not just sustain their business, but to grow and expand. KZbin ad revenue, would be one of the smallest forms of revenue for their business- they make a load of money through twitch, sponsorships, and a large amount from selling their own merchandise. Apart from that, they've now diversified into games publishing and now they're hiring out recording rooms in their studio for other content creators. The yogscast isn't 'struggling', they're only set to get bigger, in my opinion, as they expand beyond youtube.

[@nuclos1]

For the dead spaces at the end of the halls, I think it would be really cool to have a themed scene, like props and what set up to look like a scene from a game or movie, also, if it's a no for the scenes, how about a nice array of wildlife like pets or plants, make it a wall of flora or something, you know, something aesthetically pleasing whenever you see it?

[@RikkyN1]

Hey Turps, I work at a company Called DIsplayLogic. We do a lot of retail signage and fitting. We can easily create a sign for you with a metallic finish in a low cost option if you want to contact us.

[@haeilsey]

Should probably send them a business email. I don't think youtube comments are a good way to get this across.

[@RikkyN1]

TransHailey got through to him, but thank you :)

[@drafezard7315]

Nice!

[@theeutecticpoint]

Said it before, I'll say it again: I love how Turps comes off as such a proud papa in these videos. Also: love these videos!

[@apophisdd]

I'm taking notes for when I burgle the new YogTowers.

[@coppliable]

Get a huge 60inch sideways smart tv for the coridor, link it to the server and allow the Yogs to add photos to a folder and run a photo gallery of fresh new selfies, fan art or whatever. Would be cool for you guys I think.

[@TheLiggyRide]

Run a competition to have fan art on the walls! Or swords, swords are cool

[@thepiedact9495]

i think you need to add a life wall ( a wall that is made up of plants) just add some smoother tones to a place that looks more like a hospital or just way sterile. I think it will give the building some much needed "life". ps. love the the new place its amazing just needs the yogscast quirks

[@Fyrlink]

no

[@LJLvids]

yes?

[@LJLvids]

yes!

[@NetworKrakle]

What?

[@rawrmcsaurs6052]

DUNCAN!

[@cornfarmer8600]

homo erectus

[@Force2reckonVods]

End of the hallway, try a monitor that displays the nearby rooms, which ones are open, and who's registered in each one.

[@2sonicspeed]

Magnificent paintings of each member of the yogscast, styled in a Victorian-esque manner.

[@potatosalad1768]

For the blank wall at the entrance, it should be a huge mural of the Yogscast crew! It should be all colorful and amazing! And at the end of corrodes should be little water taps and such for the recorders when they get dehydrated, and behind it should be fan art! And on hallway walls as well! That's just my opinion!

[@cbarkocy]

I'm getting pretty excited for all the new setups! Can't wait to see all the live streams!

[@KaySan666]

Looks really great. With the "dead spaces" in the recording area, i would bring in floor length pictures of forests and greenery. Gives the area a sense of landscape even tho there are no windows. Have the main halls decked with game artworks (i think Displate has some nice ones, but i'd recommend some square pictures which all are aligned at the Top) and these dead spaces with the greenery, forests, and so on. At the entrance (where you exited into the red, lobby area) i'd put an artwork with all the employees of yogscast. maybe ad the Date 2017 and then repeat the artwork every few years and add to the wall. Watching this video i really feel the need to clean up and interior decorate the areas.

[@mitchell_clark]

what ya need to put on the walss are signs that say which room is what or on the floor you colour code it like in yoglabs

[@wr6676]

Wow, the office is amazing!!! You all have really done well😉I love the architecture🤓

[@SuperSockMonkey12345]

Yogtowers 2 is really coming together! Nice work!!!

[@Voffen12345]

Holy shit! The "controll room looks amazing!

[@RevPanda]

For the end of the hall. A statue of Simon frozen in carbonite so people don't have to wonder where he's gone off to.

[@OhSoUnicornly]

A lot of the features are so similar to my office in Bristol, lol. The zip tap, same air con units, ipads on the doors, exactly the same storage lockers... I have a sit/stand desk because I have a spine problem (but also never use it because my knee problems are getting worse...). We don't have the cool coloured desks though, that would be nice :) Also, damn, the Yogscast is SO big now, like that is a lot of equipment to be able to afford! Glad things are going so well that you've been able to get some big upgrades during the move!

[@CthulhuianBunny]

"What would be good at the end of these corridors?" Cardboard Trotts at the end of each hallway.

[@InvisibleTower]

These videos are great - seeing all the high-end gear is awesome for us nerds.

[@Jophime]

Turps' "turn off the light when you leave the room" dad game is strong.

[@katemorrissey1945]

omg everything's looking amazing!! the metal yogscast sign would be such a great idea!

[@MysticJhn]

Somewhere you should get some artwork that depicts the entire history of the Yogscast. Illustrations that represent everything from the earliest Ye Olde Goon Squad days, to "How to Survive Your First Night" and Israphael, to the Jaffa Factory, to Hat Films joining the Yogscast, and to random popular series like Sjin's Let's Build, Flux Buddies, Chilluminati, Games Night, Fright Night, Jingle Jam, and references to all the crazy shenanigans. Actually, that would make a fun poster to have. A whole mess of everything from the past to the present.

[@Crashburn1313]

Turps is a proud dad Of Yogtowers

[@Sfwatts06]

For the wall above the stairs put a welcome to yoglabs sign

[@spyrellephea1105]

In the dead spaces you need Lewis's most unhinged quotes like "scoop it up with your fucking hands!"

[@MrDanielDumas]

Great Job on the new space Turps! Looks awesome!

[@jaemmanfield6522]

@Turps I have a suggestion for decorations, or rather, functional decoration. Have you ever looked into indoor green walls ('plant walls')? It is said that it increases working efficiency, as well as create a healthier working environment, especially in combination with regular plants (since, as someone pointed out earlier, there aren't that many windows in the office and you basically need more 'air'). There's quite a lot of thought behind it and judging by what I've seen from the new office so far, you guys have very large walls that could feature these. Curious what you think!

[@JamesMEEKSo1]

Turps really out done himself setting this up for the company. This new place looks like a proper company, like you walk in there and its hard to believe it all started from people making silly videos on the internet. Fantastic place

[@marlomed2914]

Of course for the wall you need a portrait of the founder of yogscast Harvey J. Yogscast.
