Show Notes
This was the final part in our trifecta of Lost in Cult related episodes from late 2021 - to see all of the episodes relating to both Lost in Cult and [Lock-On], click here - and we wanted to end with a bang. So who better for that than the big boss himself: Jon Doyle. Jon is the designer and owner of Lost in Cult, and the man who brought us [Lock-On].

As Jay pointed out:
This will be episode 127. Which, technically, is all of the values you can store in a byte of data
- Jay
Which is actually wrong, as you can hold 256 values in a byte of data. You'd have thought that Jay would know this stuff. But none of that matters, because we have Jon Doyle on the show. As we've said before, this wasn't Jon's first appearance on the show. But he and Jason Maddison where on a bonus episode from March, 2021 called "lock-on Volume 1 - A Discussion on Passion - at the time of writing, that bonus episode doesn't have a show notes page, but we're working on it

But what _IS_ Lost in Cult:
Lost in Cult is a[n] independent publisher that I set up with the hopes to bring people physical content that is based around preserving video games, films, and, kind of, their legacies.
- Jon
And what is [Lock-On]?
And then [Lock-On] is our first published product. It is a video game journal, which is based around the art of video games, the stories that they tell us, the communities involved. It's all about capturing and preserving that aspect of video gaming in a physical form.
- Jon
At the date of recording - September 21st, 2021 - both Squidge and Jay had had their copies of Volume 001 for around two months and neither of them had finished reading them, cover to cover yet.
This is something that I want to savour, and I want to read each piece, and look at each piece of art that comes with it and let that sit with me for a while - almost like I'm digesting it, you know?
- Jay
And that is entirely by design, as Jon had decided that each piece in the publication had it's own design and colour pallet.
The idea of quarterly - which is we're switching now to a quarterly model - is so that you have time to, kind of, digest the content. We didn't want to throw content at people continuously, we wanted it to sit a little bit.
- Jon
We recorded this episode just three weeks after the kickstarter campaign for volume 002 had ended but Jon wasn't resting on his laurels, as he was already planning articles for Volume 004 - after we'd gone off the air, Jon showed us a preview of the cover art for Volume 003. No, we're not going to tell you what's on there. He swore us to secrecy; with real swear words, too.
And that's not to say that the Kickstarter JUST ok, either:
[the Kickstarter campaign for Volume 002] did really well. It was one of the biggest independent magazine Kickstarter's in history actually. So not a bad growth, that one. It, kinda, did the numbers that I wanted for Volume 005 on Volume 002.
- Jon
Which lead to a discussion on how difficult it can be for projects to gain traction on social media sites without actually paying large amounts of money to the social media sites - they actually pick up on when something goes viral, and artificially block or slow it down, then ask for money to release it again.
