It is ALFABUS
I am actually writing this very post, this very day.
Amazing.
What's new with the Poppenang crew?
We're making steady progress on HTP 4!
Currently, its stuck in a bit of a bottleneck because of the huge amount of "Fullbodies" we're currently having designed.
When we say "Fullbodies" we mean the designs reminiscent of the TTS style, with fullbody puppets dra...
AY
What's new on this end?
Quite a lot actually!
Now that we've put the HTP4 script together (AFTER MUCH LABOR AND FRUSTRATION) the rest of our team begins to do their stuff, and it really is miraculous how much comes together so quickly once the team gets in on it.
What is so miraculous you may ask? WELL:

What day is it?
FRIDAY!

UPDATE!
Is that correct?

Hello everyone this is an amalgamate post written by both Alfabusa and Earndil.
You won't know who wrote what, the only way for you to find out is to pick up a degree in Poppenangite critical scholarship and try to decipher who wrote what based on our differing writing style and the cultural contexts within which we wrote our individual texts.
Good luck...

Hi everyone and welcome to JOHN MADDEN football (distorted bitcrushed NFL theme plays)
Two weeks into July already, and we've got another informative update regarding our very lives here at Ogre Poppenang, with your bi-weekly writer Earndil here as the guide [and Alfabusa who like the gremlins living in the walls will write between the lines in...].
We're still between videos right now in the grand scheme of things, still putting together the important parts of this upcoming Hunte...

Greetings everybody, and welcome back to your regularly scheduled updates (that may or may not be late) with me, Earndil, writing it up.
Boy oh boy oh boy do we have quite an update for you guys this time around.
Starting off, me, Alfa, and Speaker have been hard at work over the past few weeks conjuring up the HTP Episode 4 script.
Why weeks?
Because regrettably the script was in such a shambles connectivity-wise, and we had so many people writing s...

We've got some stuff plotted out for next week in terms of production, but it all is determinate based on how well we do here.
Not much to discuss this time, but hopefully next time we'll have more of a thing because WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE STUFF WE JUST PUT OUT GO PREPARE TO WATCH GO GO GO GO-

I hope you're doing well.
As we approach another release, it is time to ask for your preferred colors for the credit!
Here's the rundown:
Leave a comment here with the color you'd like for your name (preferably with a color hex code). Posting here is not needed for you to appear in the credits list, but if you don't specify, I'll assign a color based on my gut instinct!
Additionally, if you're a Half-Life fan, let me know if you'd like ...
2023-06-02 06:14:13 +0000 UTC View PostHello All,
Anyone who has followed us for any period of time knows that as a fan group that produces animations and content, we mingle with a great many talented, and diverse people who share our hobbies and interests. What comes with this mingling is the implicit hope that everyone we work with is of at the very least passable moral fibre. We have been proven wrong, on more than one occasion, and that the individuals we have interacted with and collaborated with turned out to be far be...

Greetings fellow americans, yes you are all americans now, sorry....
It's me again, Earndil, with another funderful update!
Alfa has instituted a new thing called an Animator Timelog, and effectively it lets everyone in the work server know just how many seconds of the show have been animated in a day!
The numbers per day are very good, and we are actually ahead of where we expected to be by a whole minute (wow!!!)
But yes, actual updates.
As indicated, we ...

Miss me last time?
Of course not.
Or maybe?
Who knows.
When was last time?

So, first off, there isn't too much to update you on since last as we're still at it with the animation primarily, a fairly static state of affairs 'til its done.
It's going well however, HLZV 2 is our best-looking project to date by my estimation.
Our illustrators are almost finished with all the art and will wit...

Hello Everyone, it's your favorite stand-in Patreon update writer and chastiser of debilitated Alfabusas, Earndil, back again with another bi-weekly update (Ever notice how Bi-weekly can mean either twice a week, or once every two weeks, with no real differentiation between the two? Fascinating stuff......)
That's right folks, Blessed is not here to inflict his buboes upon you this time...
This time.
He may come back if I fail to write this up for whatever reason...

Alfabusa is NOT writing this one it is me Earndil yet again because Alfa is currently deep in the borax mines so we can improve the strength of our aluminum alloys.
Apologies for the lack of updates, as Alfa is the only one who has access and sometimes hE FORGETS TO DO IT OR ASK SOMEONE TO WRITE THE UPDATE BEAT HIM WITH POOL NOODLES NOW!!!

Welcome to the 2nd Update of the Once More Successful Social Consensus That Is The Newest Year We Have (great job everyone! all who still claims its 2022 will now explode into paradox!!)
So, I'll be honest, not much has changed since last, things are still trucking on in a similar fashion, so I'll keep things fairly brief.
The World of Darkness Introduction & Exploration Video is still the prime focus it's VERY close to finished.

Alfabusa here, hoping everyone's had a decent holiday break or a workable couple of workweeks.
We have of course returned, we officially got back last week but I decided to delay the Update 'til now just to get our bearings and break us in proper.
So, what is up?
Currently, we're right in the midst of working on a new kind of video, a sort of 'Video Essay', as is and has been popular on YouTube for the past forever.
We're creating an Introduction an...

Alfabusa is here, and I want to keep this update (relatively) short and sweet because there's really only one Content Thing of note and that's that our next HTP Audiolog, containing the climax to the great Blender Crusade that Big-D has taken upon himself, will be releasing in the coming days.
It is currently at 50% of its final render and it is expected to be entirely finished by tomorrow but I am unsure if releasing it on Christmas is the brightest idea.
In either case,...

Alfabusa here today on an off-day coming at you with a short little update.
I and several others have been dealing with a multitude of ills this week.
Personally, I jumped from a stomach bug straight into an evil, stubborn cold and I've been hanging out at home with my boy and not been able to get any real work done past giving feedback and some light writing.
We have at least three other people who've also been rendered bed-ridden during both this week and the last...

The credits have expanded somewhat since last time.
We could not be happier with this, but, due to this, I am going to say that, this time, we're skipping out on iconography, trim/border or changing fonts! 2022-11-26 14:23:50 +0000 UTC View Post

Everyone.
There's a lot of you suddenly!
I'll be honest, this is not quite what we expected.
We know that this recenssion garbage has affected pretty much everyone so the likelihood of support for something like this is, in turn, also a lot slimmer, and that was a very, very recognised fact before we decided to make this update video.
But, god damn, this...

Good Now, everyone.
It’s me Earndil, lead writer man, taking over writing this particular update because everyone else is either very asleep, or very Hjalmar Parent at the moment.
Sorry that it took far longer than usual for this one to get out, work has been big on all other fronts and it was unintentionally pushed back.
Nevertheless!
So, how about that Zero Viscosity huh?

Wow, an update on time?
We truly are back.
Let's go over a few things.
So!
As you can see,
a Short is now released!
This is a, uh, "new" format that we're rediscovering.
We think animated content starring our HTP cast should not be missed out on even if Arc 2 isn't coming out for a while still. And so, we are bringing back this format because WHY WOULDN'T WE??
We are thinking of trying to make a Sho...
AY
We're back!
And with an ACTUAL RELEASE, to boot.
Wow, wow, wow...
A few important things to go over, though.
Get ready, this is a pretty heavy one.
First off, this new video took a good while to make not because it actually normally would've taken this many months to make, but instead because of a variety of different reasons that you have likely already read about if you've been following these Updates during this The Great Lull. 2022-09-25 19:55:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Alright, so, the prime vacation weeks have now passed and everyone has returned to work.
Except Alfabusa (who is writing this, do not be fooled by what they say...)
I am still in parental leave purgatory where I take care of my child Hjalmar most of the time, and when not, I try my best to work.
However, due to an odd schedule and no real organisation in the day-to-day, the Updates in particular have been hard to swing as of late.
So, I'm pausing them for now...

Alfabusa is also here to make notes.
Sincere apologies if we've kept you waiting!
Between some lengthy but well deserved vacation for one of our lead animators, Karl, and little baby Hjalmar entering into the phase of his growth where he is now optimized to deprive Alfabusa of sleep, things have been crazy!

Sleeping alone with a 14-month old growing teeth has finally caught up with Alfabusa as he has collapsed in fatigue, just in time for the already late update to happen not on time.

We hope you find it satisfactory!

Reasons?
Shit, uh, well.
1. I was so focused on editing the next Audiodrama that I spaced out on the update entirely today. Big fail.
2. It's vacation high-season right now and we're still looking into fixing some issues that are finance-related and I feel its better to save it for at least a week further down the line.
