and supporting the project over close to three years", and that The Yogscast spent "considerably more than any money received on rewards" for backers. Brindley later clarified that the $150,000 the Yogscast had received from the Kickstarter "was spent directly fulfilling physical rewards for Kickstarter backers, packing and shipping the rewards, covering marketing expenses. However, the project stalled after Winterkewl Games ran out of funds, and was eventually cancelled in July 2014.

The goal of $250,000 was quickly reached, with a full total of $567,000 eventually being raised by 13,647 donators. In 2012, indie games developer Winterkewl Games ran a Kickstarter campaign to develop a video game called Yogventures! based upon the intellectual property of The Yogscast featuring Brindley's and Lane's Shadow of Israphel avatars. To date, however, The Yogscast have not published further coverage of subsequent MineCons, nor have they ever worked professionally with Persson. Persson later apologised for the misunderstanding and retracted his accusations, attributing the statements to stress and miscommunication. The Yogscast responded on Reddit and via a YouTube video, denying the accusations and expressing their disappointment and frustration with the organisation of MineCon, as well as their respect for Persson and the Minecraft community at large. These claims were questioned by some MineCon attendees as well as game commentator TotalBiscuit. Following the event, the group came under fire from Minecraft creator Markus Persson, who stated that he would no longer work with the group, citing use of profanity and unprofessional behaviour. The Yogscast team held their own panel at MineCon 2011, where they showcased some of the work of the Minecraft community. Rutherford initially ran The Yogscast's secondary channel which later became her own channel to create her own content, while other early associates such as Duncan Jones ("Lalna"), Paul Sykes ("Sjin"), and Chris Lovasz ("Sips") created their own channels to record their own videos, marking the start of the Yogscast family. Other members of Ye Olde Goone Squade subsequently joined Brindley and Lane in creating their own content under the Yogscast brand. In October 2011, The Yogscast's main YouTube channel "YOGSCAST Lewis & Simon" hit one million subscribers, making them the biggest YouTube channel in the United Kingdom at that time. They also started a secondary channel for showcasing dubbed-over trailers that they called "yogscast2".
They also moved into a house which they also shared with their friend Hannah Rutherford ("Lomadia") in Reading. On, Brindley and Lane officially incorporated The Yogscast as a registered company in Reading, Berkshire.

In December 2010, they recorded a Minecraft video series subsequently named Shadow of Israphel which amassed a large number of views and subscribers, and catapulted them to popularity. In August 2010, they joined the multi-channel network TheGameStation, a sub-network of Maker Studios. The name of their fledgling channel, "Yogscast", was derived from the title letters of their World of Warcraft guild Ye Olde Goone Squade, which itself originated from the forum community of Something Awful.
Brindley and Lane first began by recording iTunes podcasts and YouTube video guides on World of Warcraft from their own homes and joined by friends from their guild, desiring to share Lane's quirky style of humour with other people around the world. The group was founded in July 2008 by friends Lewis Brindley ("Xephos") and Simon Lane ("Honeydew"), with the creation of their YouTube channel named "BlueXephos" on 8 July 2008, and the publishing of their first YouTube video on 25 July 2008.

They are also known for their annual Christmas live streaming charity drive named the Jingle Jam, which has cumulatively raised $25 million for various charities as of December 2021. In 2017, they published the video game Caveblazers.
#DINOCIDE YOGSCAST MOD#
More recently, the group are known to play the sandbox game Garry's Mod as well as producing a variety of live action videos. The group had their roots in videos about the massively multiplayer online game World of Warcraft, but rose to popularity with their playthrough of the sandbox game Minecraft and their self-produced role-playing series Shadow of Israphel set in the same game. They began activity in 2008 and formally incorporated as a company in 2011. The Yogscast, officially registered as Yogscast Limited, are a British entertainment company based in Bristol that primarily produce video gaming-related videos on YouTube and Twitch, and also operate the Yogscast multi-channel network for affiliated content creators.
