Update 01/22 - EP28 out VERY SOON

AY

Wow, I had not realised this update was so late...
I usually have this notification on my phone reminding me that I need to update but it utterly blanked on me this time around. Thank you to uamanowa for reminding me with a comment!

So, EP28 is well on its way. Last week, I finished up the most intense scene in the entire episode and just today I finished up the subtitles. There's still one scene left to complete but most of that scene has already been finished by my fellow editor, VindicareAssassin.

After that, all that's left to do is some post-stuff, find and fix some glitches, add credits and we shall be all good for the first release of the year.

Throughout February, I will be spending my time working on scripts.
I hope you do not mind this, I'd love to release something small if I can but I would like to primarily focus on getting as far in as possible script-wise so I do not have to worry about being behind on script-count for the rest of the year.

I've already spent chunks of January rewriting the TTS Plot-Bible in preparation for February and, fuck, writing scripts is just incredibly fun. Nothing beats it.
My brain gets fully immersed in the text and I cannot escape even hours past the point where I have stopped writing. It's to the point of therapeutic.
I am very happy that I'm granted the chance to spend my time doing this, so big big thanks for that come closer I will   stab you with my gratitude.

Oh, also, I have been very bad at responding to comments here on Patreon of late.
This is partly because I am busy but mostly because my short-term memory is absolute garbage.
I am writing this here to coerce myself into responding more often, especially if you actually ask a legitimate question or just, like, write something nice...

And that'll be that for this update.
'Til next time, EP28 should be out. If not, I die.
Have a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update 01/22 - EP28 out VERY SOON

I enjoy the series. Funny that i now and then binge watch the whole thing again.

+1 will wait another year

LtColGreenhalgh

Wonder when we'll hear about Dorn's angry bois

GUYFUN

That episode was worth the wait and more, Alfa. You and everyone else on the TTS crew delivered an amazing episode. Like always, I look forward to what you have planned next.

CasketCase

Absolutely incredible episode!

SheepFace2000

Amazing episode. It leaves me begging for more. My thermic reactor is pulsating with excitement over the next Bro Trip episode. Also looking forward to seeing what you do with the Pirmaris Space Marines. Reivers are my favorite.

Yeager Bomb

Just watched it and wow you totally subverted my expectations. It was amazing good job.

Jeremy Bookbinder

slight spoiler: just watched the episode, does the emperor view the Custodes as his 'sons' like the Primarchs? if so could one of the Custodes get kitten a "your sons call me daddy too" shirt for his birthday or other gift giving event?

Markopolo

oh my god i just checked up here to see if things were going well and its ALREADY OUT BLESS

Hey Alfa, hope everything is going well. I wanna say thanks to you and everyone else involved in TTS for working so hard on this series. Just say though if you need another bottle of wine from Nurgle's Garden.

I thought in episode 21 papasmurf said the ultra smurfs had blow off the defense of cadia. It was flowed by a comment about Cato trying to attack something he should not have.

Considering Cadia is doomed to die by canon, either they don’t make it in time, or things escalate WAY beyond canon on cadia to balance out the inbound reinforcements of guardsmen and (at least) two primarchs. Perhaps even the daemon primarchs get involved.

Brandon Guzman

I think it will, because I have a theory that Vulkan and Corax's bro trip is gonna end up with them having a ton of guardsmen regiments with them, and they'll show up at Cadia just in time for the black crusade

In TTS, and this is bloody important, does Cadia stand?

from what I understand, animation in general is a pain in the ass, SFM included.

Also, have you ever considered doing or redoing a short or episode in, say, MMD or SFM? Your current methods of animation seem rather taxing to you from what you’ve told us, plus I’d imagine that if you made official TTS models and backgrounds and release them for the rest of the world, you’d make quite a few fans happy. They might even remake their favorite bits themselves! I’d love to see a fully animated podcast, so let them use the models and do it themselves!

Brandon Guzman

In the words of the prominent gamer Herknes Dragonblade, Yeah.

GUYFUN

Woo hoo! And hey, we look forward to seeing you around here more!

Trevor Bond

Thanks for the reply Alpha 😊 and yes the smell of glue has indeed been ingrained in my memory as i decided to spend over €200 the first time buying an army on death guard and now i eat only bread and water 😂😂 as for the rest of your answer i imagine then that we can expect to see guilliman, caul and so fourth later in TTS but at the same time your narrative will be hugely different thanks to the star child(star fyordperor) which is something my friend and I enjoyed as he said "At least unlike GW he is actually using the star child", I'm looking forward to seeing what you will show the primaris marines like in TTS as I imagine the emperor will shit all over the new design in his usual hilarious fashion 😂😂

Ah the group chat where all the gods talk to each other usually at the end of the episode and Khorne screaming about who keeps taking his chain axe

Aidan

Honestly, TTS wasn't actually intended as a series when I made the first, very bad video. And I am also, ironically, a person who sees 40k less as having a 'plot' as a whole and more as being a setting in which a million million plot-threads are occurring at all times. But with GW introducing a more overbearing narrative and advancing the setting into the future, I've indeed had to include a lot of the things GW has written. I've had fun with it though, Gathering Storm especially. But I also make sure to keep the events of TTS quite malleable between the point where we are at now in script-writing and the events of the last episodes, just so if GW -does- somehow inadvertently screw things up for us with a new lore-element, we can change things around and we'll live. It also helps that TTS is both a satire and a clusterfuck of disparate editions concocted into a singular barely functioning universe and it not making sense at times is entirely justifiable.

Alfabusa

I'm sorry, the wrap book parts? Could you clarify, I for some reason do not quite know what you're referring to.

Alfabusa

Ay! Glad to hear our combined efforts has launched you into this brand new hellworld. May the fumes of the plastic glue herald your arrival. So, every time GW decides to introduce new elements into their narrative and pushing the setting even further into the future, I, on a personal level, get extremely stressed for a bit. It means I will probably have to work in that particular event somehow into TTS going forward. This is especially bothersome if it happens to be a piece of lore I've personally already started making use of, such as Magnus returning. But then, after I've figured things out on a personal level, I usually don't mind the stuff GW pumps out. Sure, some things can be rather objectionable but most of the problems do not actually lie in the narratives themselves. My personal biggest gripe with 8th ed, for instance, is actually quite minor; moving away from the iconic Aquila-pattern Space Marine helmet and instead using the newer Mark 10 helmet, the Primaris one. While it is reminiscent of the Mark 4 helmet and I understand why they chose it from a lore perspective, the Primaris helmet simply is not as iconic (nor good-looking) in my opinion, and I unironically feel like the transition GW is currently going through having Primaris Marines become the new, mainline Astartes would be made much less painful if they simply had the Primaris Marines wear the helmet that has been iconic to the Astartes aesthetic since 2nd edition.

Alfabusa

No bully. Not this time. Not yet....

Alfabusa

Yes! I have planned to make the podcasts more fun to make for all of us by just making the subjects escalatingly more ridiculous going forward.

Alfabusa

Yes, sort of? I mean, I have always had the end goal in mind but everything from the latest episode to the very end I intentionally keep malleable in case we want to change stuff around. I added a whole load of fun stuff, actually had the T'au included in a meaningful way and included a lot of important narrative events that only occurred in the transition from 7th to 8th.

Alfabusa

Thanks for the update! Looking forward to Ep.28, keep on keeping on dude.

Lyner

I’d love to see the emperor’s reaction to the primaris. I mean it’d almost certainly be mixed, but the you’d think he of all not-gods would appreciate a genuine effort from the people of his imperium to address it’s deepest problems in a halfway competent effort, let alone without his oversight. Plus Cawl helped make the space marines in the first place, so it’s not like Cawls some random tech priest heretic that got lucky.

Brandon Guzman

By the way, I know when you had started the series, it was in response to the plot stalemate that had more or less dominated 40k’s story for years. How does it effect you and the series now that new lore is being pumped out at the most frequent rate in the longest time? Have you ever had to rewrite an episode because of something that had JUST released that clashed with what was what you had intended based on older lore?

Brandon Guzman

Do you miss writing those wrap book parts? I always loved the interactions in those

Aidan

Hey Alpha im new to the whole Warhammer scene and im getting into thanks to both you and my college friend who has not stopped going on about it for 3 years 😂 anyway I just wanted to ask you what do you think of the direction that Warhammer is going in narrative wise, I know that many fans of the francise are either not happy or very cautious but I'm new so dont know yet but what about you? Thanks for your awesome work btw, keep it up man

Regulations say I'll have to bully you if this is another yugioh episode.

Lyk

Kitten Rules! *stomp stomp*

Jack Ponder

Cawl is coming!

Robertartin

That will do me my glorious overlord

Daniel Vaughnley

xD

Holy fucking lord someone actually did it already I can feel the pain surging through your nerves and into mine

Alfabusa

I hate you for making me decode that 01010110 01101001 01000011 01010100 00110000 01010010 01011001 00100000 01110000 01001000 00110000 01010010 00100000 01010100 00110011 01001000 01101011 00110100 01110000 01110100 00110100 01001001 01101110 00101101 00111001 00110011 01001110 00110011 01110010 00110100 01101100 00100001 crap, btw it says "ViCT0RY pH0R T3Hk4pt4In-93N3r4l!"

soon??? WANT IT NOWWWWWWWWWW¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

lol32

I absolutely love the podcasts. Will there be a new podcast?

Land Raider

Wooooo. Script writing! Though does this mean plot has evolved? And thank you and everyone who makes TTS, it is a true joy.

RoseEmpress

I thank you right back but, I am sorry, I cannot disclose this at this time, I think it'd be unwise. Can tell you that a character relevant to his return will be coming around next episode though, if that's something of interest?

Alfabusa

RIGHT BACK AT YOU O777777

Alfabusa

Thanks for the magic you create, aslo i have a question. When is papa smurf waking up?

Daniel Vaughnley

Thank you for your hard work and dedication o7
