Update 03/21 - The first ten minutes of EP30, for you
Added 2021-03-21 09:00:16 +0000 UTCAY
Remember back when videos were, like, 10 minutes long?
Let's try that again, see if you like it.
I've been working non-stop on EP30 every day for a while now and it is EXTREMELY heavy in the same way EP26 was.
Animating tabletop battles is a lot of fun and very rewarding but it's also very, very demanding of both my patience and my computer.
Now, since it is taking me so much time and since I have a vested interest in you guys actually seeing my content, I've decided that, hey, perhaps releasing the episodes in parts as they are finished here on Patreon might be good and smart and relieve stress and perhaps even be a bit nostalgic.
If this is something you enjoy, I'll definitely do it for future episodes too, because, to be totally honest, after having thought about it for three years (when I last asked you about this I think was around 2017), transitioning towards shorter videos would be the dream, and this is an effective way of doing so without having to do something ludicrous like making shorter scripts PFFFT BAH WHAT SLABBER.
Chances are though that a few of you will choose to watch the episode once all parts of it are fully completed, and that is totally valid and I hope you'll not mind it taking some more time.....
Just keep in mind that this part, and every part in the future, will not end with a straight cut to black or anything like that, I am keeping pacing well in mind and treating these as "mini-episodes" in their own right, in that they have a proper beginning and ending, not just quitting out in the middle of a sentence like other previews might.
As you also can see, I am releasing them publically so you don't have to pay to see them, but if you do, you are VERY nice and I am ever thankful.
It's yours to share with anyone you please, the only catch is that people who don't have you as a friend will have to find it through this Patreon. HAH.
To be completely honest, other than me not really caring if it is shared around, pledge-wise, I like to think not paywalling stuff can often be more incentivizing than anything--OH BOY, here we go with the very smart alfa busa marketing decisions that no marketing expert will ever ever give you (experts HATE him).
And if you're wondering why I don't just release this fully publically on YouTube as is?
Don't want to, not ready for that kind of commitment, that's the gist of it, please do not judge, I'll do it later.
But, uh, yeah, I think that's it for EP30 for this time, though.
Hey also,
if you are AT ALL interested,
last month I released a modeling log where I go through my recent Warhammer miniature projects on my secondary channel.
It an inordinate amount of fun, check it out if you want to hear me drivel about my horrid OC genestealer cult army etc

That'll be that for now.
I'm gonna keep bashing my head against EP30.
Until next time, Have a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just watched part 2, It was his Centurion-bear he wanted, wasn't it? It was Rogal, the last loyal son he had close. Going to go cry now.

2021-05-01 14:52:22 +0000 UTCAlfa can you do a collaboration with the up and coming Swedish youtuber (you might have heard of him) Herknes Dragonblade? You have so much in common!

2021-05-01 12:01:46 +0000 UTCPart one of my reaction to this reply: Oh yeah cool you do you Part two of my reaction to this reply: *fucking stroke*
Paul Stansel
2021-04-30 23:22:45 +0000 UTCSorry, the reason I haven’t is because I’ve put my all into focusing on Part 2 (and my personal life ofc) and it is, in all likelihood, being released tomorrow, finally.
Alfabusa
2021-04-30 20:24:11 +0000 UTCSuper late, but a lot of creators put out monthly updates, even if they haven't gotten anything big done. Updates consistently around the same time each month are good for keeping people engaged and involved and even a statement of "yep, still alive!" goes a long way for preventing patrons from feeling like nothing is getting done because they can't see behind the scenes.

2021-04-30 20:21:44 +0000 UTCDeceiver and Dark Eldar Kitten’s double act is pretty amazing :)
JeanWorm
2021-04-29 15:17:51 +0000 UTCI know this is a little late, but...THE HYYYYYYPE! Fuck, I can't wait for part 2 to come out! It's gonna be great to see Kitten commanding an army of Custodes against Cawl! The intrigue is advancing very nicely, too, with the reveal that The Deceiver shards are somewhat in contact with each other I have to wonder just how intricate their plan is and how badly Draigo's returning to the Materium would fuck it all up. One thing that's really tickling me, though, is how many divine beings are getting involved and yet we've heard nothing from the Chaos Gods outside of Tzeentch. The four certainly would've taken notice of the Star Child being born on their doorsteps, so it'll be interesting once they pop into the massive, wonderful equation that is this story! Keep up the amazing work, Alfa!

2021-04-09 01:03:41 +0000 UTCHi Alfa! Just wanted to say I LOVED this! The dialogue was on point and made me piss myself laughing!! In one of your last updates you mentioned adding on Karl and Eliphas as helping animators and I have to say that the style works so good! It’s somehow even more refined and wonderful! The animation, design, and EVERYTHING is so beautiful! I absolutely wouldn’t mind if you split these episodes into 10 minute mini-episodes at all! At this point I am living for this series. Thanks so much Alfa for putting such goofy smiles to my face!
2021-04-02 04:11:03 +0000 UTCIt was at that moment, demanding his "psychic blankie," that I realized the Emperor hasn't been just joking or acting silly for laughs- he has gone fucking insane and senile and the only people more insane than him are the ones who follow his incoherent orders.
Robertartin
2021-04-01 11:11:10 +0000 UTCDoes this mean we are getting a full battle of Adeptus Mechanicus vs Custodes?! Ahh bless your leathery feet ALfa, that sounds cool as hell.
Charalampos Koundourakis
2021-03-31 14:35:04 +0000 UTCYou keeping it paywall free is exactly why I just pledged. Love your stuff and hope to see more.
2021-03-31 09:18:28 +0000 UTCLoved it. Also like the shorter format. Easier to digest than 30 mins!
2021-03-31 02:37:39 +0000 UTCCan I just say that the improvement of writing quality has been very gradual but extremely noticeable. Episode 1 might have been pretty good but this new shit's on another level

2021-03-29 22:36:22 +0000 UTCyay
Pixel Appreciator
2021-03-29 22:34:22 +0000 UTCI agree

2021-03-28 15:30:04 +0000 UTCPure excellence! I can feel the air shifting... Something is going to happen...soon.
2021-03-27 19:54:10 +0000 UTCGod damn. That was good
ImperialMight
2021-03-26 21:37:39 +0000 UTCThis is epic. Cant wait for the next part.
2021-03-25 23:10:11 +0000 UTCI hope you aren't overworking yourself, my man. You can dictate your own hours, do it responsibly and in healthy way. We love you and best for all the team, the episode look like it will be a banger.
ArtoriaZz
2021-03-25 19:26:03 +0000 UTCI am so excited right now I could pierce a Baneblade end-to-end.
2021-03-24 21:24:17 +0000 UTCIm definitely on board with getting more frequent but shorter content that is still tied together!
Adora
2021-03-24 14:30:47 +0000 UTCThis is really cool! It's like mini tastes of content to come, and it rewards nepotism. Win-Win! Honestly tho, I do like this pace, and I can show it to my mum, who loves watching these, but has a short, old lady, attention span.
Powercore2000
2021-03-24 13:43:16 +0000 UTCSo was that random scribe guy talking about how can the Emperor care about anything (like sanguinius dying) if the Star Child is a fragment of himself that is the Emperors love and compassion?
Parker Maisterra
2021-03-24 04:52:49 +0000 UTCThat wis very good that!

2021-03-23 21:22:36 +0000 UTCOr he was fused with the outsider, hence the insanity, necron involvement, and ludicrous power.
Paul Stansel
2021-03-23 18:11:46 +0000 UTCgood stuff bruva cant wait for the next part
2021-03-23 12:13:37 +0000 UTCReleasing more content as you create it and post it to your most loyal viewers is a great reward to us and to yourself. Keep up the good work alfabus
GUYFUN
2021-03-22 19:35:43 +0000 UTCSo was Kaldor Draigo combined with the Outsider or something? Was that big ball at the beginning of the mindscape play supposed to be the Dyson sphere the outsider used to be trapped in? I checked the Universal History with Professor Emperor episode and question mark head guy was named the Outsider so I am pretty sure I am right. It would explain Kaldor Draigo's insanity and power at least.
2021-03-22 13:30:20 +0000 UTCOkay, 9:05 is just a straight up Oculus Imperia insertion and I love it!
Matihood
2021-03-22 11:31:29 +0000 UTCOh god, its been three years since we played this game.
Alfabusa
2021-03-22 10:17:28 +0000 UTCMy throbbing head is exhilirated with this release, my TTS obsession needed new meat to consume and this is exactly what i needed.
2021-03-22 08:53:17 +0000 UTCI think Chronicler went made a couple times but being so close to his not god emperor has allowed him rebuilding his psyche stronger. Hence why he was sudden cohrent. Thou Emps might regret retraining his imperium to see himas a man. The last 10,000 years proves that while he might the best man to have ever lived. He's still a man and lives with hsi consquences literally.
Waterpicker
2021-03-22 07:49:40 +0000 UTCI've been looking forward to this upcoming fight for like 3 years now! My hype can barely be contained!
Sentenal
2021-03-22 04:38:33 +0000 UTCHoly hell this was intense. You really are setting the stage here with these moments. I especially loved the bit with the poor Chronicler baring his heart out with the Emps, that was a surprisingly touching moment.
Andrey Dravinski
2021-03-22 03:59:19 +0000 UTCYOU SLOW CACTUS PF A MAN< I HOPE YOU ARE TAKING BREAKS AND RESTING WELL AS YOU ARE NO USE TO THE EMPEROR IF YOU FUCKING DIE. Keep up the content and seriously, check yourself before you wreck yourself.
NotJacob
2021-03-22 03:36:22 +0000 UTCThis has got me super hyped. It looks like Kaldor was given either a shard of Magnus ala Janus or part of the Emperor.
Snowmizer
2021-03-22 02:39:02 +0000 UTCNice! I remember sometime recently you asked around about animating tips for your stretchy style. Did anything come that that discussion to help you out?
fizzlefist
2021-03-22 00:25:50 +0000 UTCIs it supposed to be clear how Kaldor Draigo was transformed? I can't make out what the Deceiver combined him with
2021-03-21 21:28:47 +0000 UTCI thoroughly Enjoyed watching this preview
2021-03-21 20:54:45 +0000 UTCThat worked. It worked well. The breakpoints made sense.
Constantine
2021-03-21 19:51:01 +0000 UTCOOOH BOY! I'm excited now!
Paul Stansel
2021-03-21 18:15:17 +0000 UTCHonestly needed this. And going back to a shorter version works. I’ll happily keep watching and if it keeps you more sane than absolutely!

2021-03-21 16:16:26 +0000 UTCHey Alfa! What're the specs on your computer machine out of curiosity? I woudln't have thought this would've been as stressful on it as say...a 3D animation or some-such.
2021-03-21 15:49:47 +0000 UTC*insert crabe rave gif here* Best gift i could've woken up to find on a Sunday morning

Alfabusa
2021-03-21 14:46:24 +0000 UTCAt least four fifths of the time and budget goes straight into the horrible machinery of the insult engine.
Alfabusa
2021-03-21 14:45:51 +0000 UTCHow much production time goes into the Emperor’s overly elaborate insults? It’s gotta be a lot.
Jack Ponder
2021-03-21 14:44:27 +0000 UTCI very much enjoyed this, and am looking forward to the rest of the episode when it is ready

2021-03-21 10:18:05 +0000 UTCI am totally on board with the 'episode segments' release idea, this was a fun view! I just wish I could afford to give you more financial support than I do at the moment. And thank you for not paywalling things, I have a lot of friends who like your stuff that can't afford patreon, they really appreciate it. Keep up the good work!
