Update 07/09 - Half-Life Teaser, New Patreon Tier and the Crisis of the Swedish Kronas Value in the Global Economy

Hey there everyone! 

SpeakerD here, comin' at you from HELL and HIGHWATER to bring you this special patreon update! Alfabusa is taking care of a very angry baby today so I am bringing you the news this evening.

First; the production news, of course!!

Zero Viscosity has been skippin' along just fine, but sadly, has hit a slight delay. Tragically, we don't think we'll be able to release it this month. It COULD happen! But...is unlikely. Rest assured, all of us ...

Update 06/23 - Small, Pointless Half-Life: Zero Viscosity Teaser!

AY

Time for an UPDATE by ME, ALFABUSA.

So, it's actually been one week and six days.

But, tomorrow, we're releasing another audiolog, AND ALSO, its Midsummer, and here in Sweden that's a 'red day' meaning I don't work, and to assure I actually don't work, I'll be at my child's grandmother's (that is to say my mom's) place probably eating fish or something idk.

Nevertheless, time for an update!

First, quickly, tomorrow we'll be releasing the fourth HTP Audiolog, f...

Update 06/10 - Half-Life: Zero Viscosity and HTP Audiolog Progress

AY

Update time from Alfabusa me I!

This day, we have been stuck in the mid-production swamp of all our works, and so, we don't have much juicy stuff to really reveal as of yet. But I shall try my darndest to make something interesting out of this.

Hunter: The Parenting

On the HTP front, you may have noticed we released our latest audiolog in a more awkward timeslot than usual. It was meant to be released significantly earlier, but the immense size of t...

Update 05/27 - A new audiolog was meant to release today but I was not powerful enough....

AY

So, first off, SORRY for just entirely forgetting to do any form of update two weeks ago. To be fair, we did release a new episode at the time, so maybe one wasn't entirely neccesary?

Nevertheless, here comes a proper update on time and everything, oh boy...

Alright, so, with Chapter 3 of Hunter: The Parenting released, we have now concluded our first Arc. This is pretty big, as we'll now be moving on to a new project, Half-Life: Zero Viscosity. This does, however, not me...

Big Tier Patrons! We're making a change with how credits work. Come choose colours and stuff for the credits for our next video!

AY

So, for the last few years, I've been trying to make our credits section as personalized and nice and neat as possible. 

However, of late, it's become a difficult logistic issue due to the amount of names I have to personalize and Patreon not quite working the way it should.

You see, I tend to extract the names of every single Patron that is of the appropriate tier in order to put them in the credits using Patreon's own sheets and a program that allows me to specifi...

Update 04/29 - Big-D & The Great and Mighty Kevin Returns in New Audiolog!

HELLO it is me Alfabusa.

A premiere is upon us! In less than an hour, a brand new audiolog will be out!
Oh my god we did it we actually released content two months in a row!!! Holy shit!!!!! AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! We haven't done this in years!!! I think? It feels like it at least...
It is probably accurate.


... Okay also I am leaving this day's update to our friend SpeakerD for I am busy with a child who is learning to walk far too fast and far too intensely. I hope you do...

Update 04/16 - Honey, Your Biweekly Injection of 'Update' Is Ready!!

AY

This is Alfabusa.

Yet another fortnight has passed.

Sorry for the late update, I sat up editing a video 'til late last night.

In either case, it is now Time to delve into the Great Abyss once again.

....

Okay so first off, the video up top?

....

So you know how we're currently making a World of Darkness series?

We thought it'd be cool if we, as a group, could play through the pivotal World of Darkness game and one of the greatest RPGs o...

Update 04/01 - EP3 Progress and MORE AUDIOLOGS

AY

The two weeks have passed, and it is once more atime for Update, this time written by Alfabusa Brimus instead of Alfabusa Speacundus for once. Wow!!

Alright so first off, we're releasing a series based on Team Fortress Classic! And Age of Mythology! And Cookie Clicker!

Alright, second off, Alright, so, it's been a little over two weeks since we released EP2 of HTP.

Despite so short a time having past, we have already animated over half of EP3. ...

Update 03/18 - Audiodrama Next Week! COOL!!!

AY

Alfabusa.
I.

Sorry for being terribly neglectful when it comes to just writing updates myself, but I have bellpeppers in the oven and a child with shoes crawling around everything, and Speaker's work-time just began so I asked him to help me out once more. I hope you don't mind!

So here's your Update, once more starring uuuhh what was his name TalkistÖ??? Yeah

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AND HERE HE COM...

No update this Friday as we are in the process of finishing EP2!

Yeah, that's pretty much it.
We're going into Quality Control of EP2 and after that it'll be released so expect the episode out next week in all likelihood.

Thank you dearly for your patience!

Fifth Tier Patrons! Blease choose the colour you want for the credits!

AY

Alright, so, it is time to update the credits list inbefore the release of EP2!

You will be added to the credits list whether or not you respond to this post, but if you'd like to choose your names' colouring in the credits list, please go ahead and do so!

Also, if you want your name changed, you can post about that here as well!

Thank you , thank you, thank you AND thank you and have a good one!

Update 02/19 - Quick HTP EP2 Preview Starring SpeakerD

AY

Alfabusa me.
Sorry for the late update, I played Ringfit Adventure yesterday and accidentally removed my soul, so I had to ask Speaker for help writing a short update, but then I did not post it until now anyway, big fail.

Without further ado, here is your Update starring Pi Draine or whatever his name was.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROGRESS PROCEEDS PRECEPITIOUSLY, PERPETUATED PURSUANT TO PLENTIFUL PATREON PA...

Update 02/04 - Disease Over, Work NOW!!!

AY

Alfabusa speaks, I have recovered and so has the family! Thank!!!

Thus I shall write an actual update this time around. 

Thank you for your patience.

Here we go!

So, the biggest news of the day is that Karl has officially joined us this very day.

He's been thrown down into the Editing Pit and we already have big plans on hitting him in the shoulder with a Poundland crowbar once Thunder sends one over from Norfolk.

So far, h...

No real update this week due to COVID aaaaaaaaa

AY

I (its Alfabusa this time) had planned on writing an update this week but due to COVID having run rampant in the household the past week, I cannot.

I have barely managed to do any work due to partner with fever and, far worse, baby with fever. I've not had any fever myself, just a fucked up throat and a general lack of energy, which has contributed to the whole no work thing. Baby child has had a very hard time sleeping for understandable reasons for about a week now and it's n...

Update 01/07 - Happy New Time 2 Work Starring SpeakerD

AY

So, hello, this is Alfabusa, I have been far too busy today to write an update so I asked the marginally less busy SpeakerD to help me write the first update not written by me ever I think.

So, without further ado, here is your Update starring SpeakerD aka Speechard aka Randolph Carter aka Kaang Crumson² aka Man We Gaslit About An Unfinished Lord of the Rings Sequel Existing That Had Samwise Take Over As The Totalitarian Mayor Of The Shire Brainwashing Its People By Having...

Update 12/26 - Injecting thank you juice into your face and insisting you have a good rest of the year

AY

We're only making this disgustingly short post to THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

The first episode has far surpassed any expectations we had of it.
It has reached close to TTS-metrics which is fucking banana banana banananananas for the first episode of a new show.

Our hopeful predictions were around 100k views with 10k likes.
That'd ensure we could continue on confidently.
Those predictions have been diablerised by numbers far bigger  than we could ever ha...

Fifth Tier Patrons! I call upon you to choose the colour you want for the credits

AY

Okay, so, we're changing the entire Patreon list for the credits-section of our projects going forward.

You will be added to the credits list whether or not you respond to this post, but if you'd like to choose your names' colouring in the credits list, please go ahead and do so!

We can also do iconography as we did previously, but for this particular project, we're only doing World of Darkness iconography to start off, so if you're a WoD fan since earlier and you want,...

Update 12/10 - Witness with your BULGED EYES the FIRST Half of the FIRST Episode of Our New Series please!!!

EDIT:
Okay, rerendered and fixed the audio, made it more audible!
Thank you for your patience.

----

AY

As promised in the last update, here is the first half of Chapter 1 of our new series, Hunter: The Parenting. If you decide to watch it I truly hope you enjoy it, and also a big big big thank you...

I'm gonna be honest, this first half I'm presenting to you here is not that eventful. 

It's vaguely similar to the old throneroom-scenes and...

Update 11/26 - Barely an Update but EP1 is EXTREMELY close to done so that's great

AY

So, I'm gonna make this short today, I hope you don't mind.

I don't have a whole lot to report on past the fact that EP1 is almost done, I literally just got finished with the last of the animation work and we're now moving into rendering and Quality Control.

We've decided that we'll be releasing in late December to greet the new year with a new chapter in our soggen tome, to get that headway on EP2 that we wanted.
However, we'll in all likelihood be relea...

Update 11/12 - More "TTS-Style" Animation and some Music for the Show

AY

Time for another funny little update from The Depth.

So, to show a clear example of PROGRESS, I have posted this video up above which is a segment from the same scene I posted before, just this time, we've actually come far closer to finishing it, just needing a little bit of extra quality control before its done. 

Hope you enjoy!

We're currently optimistic that we will be able to finish this video within this month. The panels we're animating are ve...

Update 10/29 - Showing Off The New "TTS-Style" Animation

AY

I want to first off apologize for not interacting more here on Patreon and not answering posts more often.

I have a tendency to post these at the end of the work day on Fridays and then I do not go back to the computer at all during the weekend and then by Monday I have entirely forgotten about the post and all the comments left on it.

Just let it be known that I read all of them and you are exceptionally kind caring about my brain deteriorating after the cavalcade of ...

Update 10/15 - Sorry for the Late-Night Update, today was blood-clot inducing and was of garbage

AY

Okay, sorry, this update is going to be garbage.

Not because work hasn't been done, but because I am exhausted by recent events, I am very sorry. It is going to be very unstructured and very 'stream of consciousness'-y due to both my tiredness and the italian greyhound continuously scratching at my foot while I'm writing this.

I will go over what we have done in a fashion mildly shorter than in all previous posts because, honestly, my brain is like a mire with ...

Update 10/01 - Another Video Snippet

AY

Another two weeks.
Time goes too fast.
Time for update.

Video

The last video I posted was a small little example of the animation style we're now trying out. This that I am going to show now is significantly more refined.

Please disregard the fact that the audio is a bit unfinished, the resolution is a bit wacky and that there is a giant black hole in the midst of the video (one panel in this particular scene is still missing)

...

Update 09/17 - How we will release videos in the future

AY

Two weeks are past. Update time!!
I have a bunch of things to go over.
Let us start immediately...

This Video

We've been experimenting with our new 'panel' aesthetic and how exactly to go about it.
Today, this has beareden fruit, as I got the opportunity to actually edit a panel for the first episode of Hunter: The Parenting.

The events of the video do not neccesarily represent the events of the first episode but it was done ...

Update 09/03 - The Progressening

AY

Two weeks has passed!
The time has arrived for update.

So, I am going to split stuff up here, with focus on the different things we've put our focus towards.

Let's go!

World of Darkness

For WoD, we have made significant progress.
The plot-bible for our show tenatively titled Hunter: The Parenting is more or less finished for the moment being.
We have also finished a third draft for its first episode, a second draft for its...

Update 08/20 - Future Projects

AY

I am here to provide a thorough update on what's been going on in the past two weeks.

There has been a lot of discussion, writing, brainstorming and networking.
These are the things that our work has so far yielded us;

We have chosen a few different franchises/settings that we want to put our attention on starting off. This does not, however, mean we will be permanently digging our claws into any one of these particular settings and staying with them like we did TTS...

Update telling you that I will make a more proper Update on Friday!

AY

It's been two weeks now since the last update.>
First off, thank you for your patience and THANK YOU for still sticking around.

I did say I was dedicating myself to making an update every other week again and this I shall hold to. However, I realised now that making a post like this on a Monday feels a bit unfruitful. We've got so much stuff going on this very week so WHY should I not wait for it to pass before updating you on it.

From here on out, I wan...

Update 08/02 - T H A N K Y O U

AY
Okay.
Update incoming.
Oh boy.
I will split this up depending on what you're more interested in.
Here goes.

SENTIMENTAL CRAP GOES HERE

The VICIOUS positivitiy, the STARTLING amounts of support and the STAGGERING acts of solidarity from across the board from YouTube to Reddit to Tumblr to Instagram has flayed me off my nihilistic hide with a knife rusted with assurance and confidence.

Your stories sent to me here and beyond of how T...

UpdaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

mY FUCKING GOD W H Y IS THE PATREON AT OVER 10,000 DOLÖLAR WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS

I MEAN THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH like seriously I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH HOLY SHIT but I hope you know that whatever I post next might just be an utter flop! A complete disaster! An absolute trainwreck!!

We’re heading into unknown territories, we won’t really know what we are doing. We will try our hardest OF COURSE but I just want to make absolute certain to everyone, ne...

Update 06/22 - Work is Back Online

AY

It has been four weeks since the birth of my baby child boy.
We've spent this time settling in and getting used to our brand new lives where everything surrounds the precious small boy. I am happy to say the process has been smooth for us.

About two weeks ago now is when I started mildly creeping back into my work schedule. And now, at this moment, I am walking on my desktop treadmill editing away at EP30 Part 3 with my son in a babycarrier on my chest sleeping.
YESgh ...
