History
Terraria (2011-2012)
RenDoG began his career on YouTube creating tutorial videos for articles on the Terraria Wiki, with his first video on the site being about how to create a Glowing Mushroom farm in the game. This video was uploaded on the 30th of May, 2011.
However, ReNDoG would not find major success in his videos until December of that year with his upload of Let's Play Terraria: Episode 1 (Afro) which would see 150,000 views in its' lifetime. Through his early Terraria videos, ReNDoG grew a fanbase, which he would eventually name "Cyberdogs". More recently, ReN has dabbled in Terraria again with another Let's Play, however the play through was never completed.
Let's Play Minecraft (2012-2017)
ReNDoG would see breakout success with the upload of his first Let's Play Minecraft video on the 28th of April, 2012. Though he had uploaded videos on Minecraft before, his first Let's Play video would generate over 1.8 million views making it his most popular video on his channel even to this day.
Let's Play Minecraft would run on his channel for over five years until the 22nd of July, 2017 where, after five seasons, he uploaded his final video in the world. Throughout this period, ReNDog's community would grow substantially and a fansite was created, Dogcraft.net.
Kingdomcraft and Hermitcraft (2015-Present)
On the 22nd of March, 2015, ReNDoG uploaded his first video as part of a YouTuber community as joined the Kingdomcraft server in an episode aptly titled "A New Era has begun"[2]. This new series and format proved to be highly popular with viewers and its success is commonly cited by ReNDoG himself as a turning point for the channel. Around this time, he also began streaming more regularly on his twitch channel.
In 2016, on February the 26th, ReNDoG was officially revealed as a new server member on the Hermitcraft server as he uploaded his first video as a member of the community, "Gift for the Hermits"[3]. He has regularly uploaded videos from the server ever since and made close friendships with other hermits, particularly Iskall85.
