Update 03/29 - Chapter 4 and Beyond
We're so back.
Back again for another UPDATE YAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Hello everyone once again, it's Earndil (scriptwriter, voice of Kevin etc), telling you about what we've been up to for the past weeks in the sphere of making stuff for you to consume with your eyes and not your mouth (don't even try, you'll starve) and BOY do we have some UPDATES for YOU.
Before we get to the updates, I feel we should again thank you all for your patience in waiting for Hunter the Parenting: Chapter 4, as it took entirely too long to produce, and we definitely felt the anxiety of not releasing something for so long.
What has soothed our concerns in the wake of the release has been everyone's overwhelming positivity in the face of such a long turnaround, and the response we've gotten from everyone in regards to the episode's quality. Trust me when I say we're going to try our best to avoid any sort of hyper delay like that again, but regardless, thank you all again for the response, it's our highest effort episode to date (I do say that a lot for every episode huh) and it's only going to get more Effort from here.
But onto more tangible things than our thanks, we're currently working on a series of Shorts that we intend to release in the period following this episode's debut, and some are even going to be released SOON(tm) because we're trying to at least give you guys SOMETHING unlike last time where we gave you NOTHING and that was UNFORTUNATE.
No details I can give on them yet, but suffice it to say, a few of the ones to release soon will be very... Kevin focused.
No, I didn't make them about Kevin specifically, they really just like writing about him and making me shout in his voice (help).
Speaking of Kevin, we have more success to report in the form of HOLY FUCK OVER 2500 KEVIN PLUSHES SOLD WE DID NOT EXPECT THAT MUCH AT ALL JESUS CHRIST YOU GUYS REALLY WANT KEVIN YEHEHEEAHhH
The funds for this Makeship campaign are actually going to help us significantly, primarily because as I understand it we once again got owned on Swedish Taxes this year as a result of one last venomous belch from 2022's bankrupcy scare (running a business, ain't it grand) and this will go towards paying that down. Alfa please post tax document screenshots below this NOW
Yeah epic job.
We are working towards the completion of our Norfolk Wizard Game Prologues in video form!
You can listen to them on Spotify at this link: https://open.spotify.com/show/3V1qZ4lGq7YtqkPOeuELEE?si=eef89d5187734874
...along with some other components of the NWG for your amusement, but we also wanted to give something with our trademark Poppenang Flair (I don't know what that is specifically).
More Wizardry is coming, so you'd best prepare for that, among other things, including a very large dirigible coming to the United States from Germany. It's said to be the lap of luxury, and filled with this fancy gas called hydrogen, which as I understand is a very epic gas, much like Argon.
But that's all I have for you this update, again, we all thank you for your kind words and continued support, and we hope to only grow from here!
Until next time, have a poppeng rest of your day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Earndil
Until next time, have a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am used to waiting on episodes for long periods of time. I understand that not aways things go by as planned. I am always happy when a notification pops up that you guys have released a new episode of any of your projects. And I aways find time to listen and/or watch it entirely! Keep up the good work!!!!!
I'm late to the Hunter and TTS party, but I adore you all!
Just thought of something if the Captain General you made for you're story found out about the lie the 3 semi-nude Custodes told the Emperor and in front of all present in episode #27 after all he went through he'd make the Emperor's warp storm fits look like some jester being humiliating the worst knight who attempts to steal glory from everyone in front of the whole kingdom if someone came looking for them and had been ordered the Emperor wanted to see them before being sent to Mars this combined with those who have remained by his side out of mutual respect and all that would also be infuriated by such abhorrent jealousy while trying to comfort him
Well I won't be able to participate for the live chat if something comes up. So unless there is an alternative chat site to communicate on that is equally as trusted as their own within a time frame halfway between My time zone and theirs or near to that exact spot. Then I cannot do it until Perhaps Wednesday night
I almost forgot I live in Newcastle, NSW Australia. So can you tell me what suburb & country you live in please?
Please don't ask content creators questions like this. If they wanted anyone to know, they would have published it. It's very dangerous to give out this information to anyone online, when you have a fan base. Someone might show up to their house and harass them, stalk them, or threaten them. It happens very very often to celebrities big and small.
I also wanted to say. I am writing down a rough draft of a Fan-made story of my own on my PC with Crossovers, a different plot and the goal in the plot to be all the Protagonist parties unite to form one massive mega galaxy coalition power each working to benefit as a whole and improving all their various societies. So weather or not that sounds good I was wondering if you know a PC voice app that uses voice overlaps to make the actor sound more like you want and if I could borrow some samples of your voices? I also intend to make a different animation from yours too as in full body motion and way too at least indicate who speaking to who when there soldiers with armour and colour schemes and all that easier to identify not just by voice or their actions but also somehow their position on the screen. If you know any people who can help me please let them know. I had written down in the draft that I don't claim ownership of any franchises related to this fan-made story I'm making. I would appreciate it one way or another so Please when you have time, I will also appeal to the GW staff members about you're TTS40K YouTube story not just as a token of gratitude but because I love the story and we love that side of the franchise anyway so that makes us friends
You're not going to convince Games Workshop to reverse their policy regarding fan animations. They're utterly ruthless about things like this, and you're about 3 years too late to join the chorus of people very angrily complaining about the policy. I don't mean to be rude, I just want to be very clear that you're more likely to get them to copyright strike fan videos, than you are to get them to give permission to make more videos. It's best to let the existing fan works go unnoticed and let some more time pass before trying to get GW to reverse the policy. TTS is in the past. Maybe one day it'll come back, but if you wait for it, you're going to waste a lot of years waiting.
Y'know, beside from me deleting my request just now, I had thought of something to ask you. As part the plot for TTS40K did you make the part of Magnus punching out one of Leman Russ' hearts? Cause the whole story you made up is full of so much laughs
I am so hyped for Wizard Game
Glad to know the Kevin sales exceeded expectations! Maybe next Easter season you’ll do something similar with Kitten plushies (or would that be too obvious?)
I feel like Grimal is the next best choice for a plush because of her very unique design, but I hope they'd put it to another vote so we can decide again at that time
Interesting the Guy Chapman is left-handed. that or the image is reflected.
I love Speaker's cosplay as the Magic Mirror from Shrek
Well, I just thought of something that, could work as a fill in time shall we call it for one YouTube post. I kinda thought y'know it'd be "LMFAO" hilarious if the "TTS40K" Dark Angels had come across the "Star Wars" Galactic Empire and under assumption were attempting to expose their collaboration with the "Fallen" wouldn't it?
where can we find Norfolk Wizard Game?
Podcast apps. It's not on YouTube yet
Ch 4 made me like Brok lol
I hope we get to see Kevin's sister
Oh I hope one of the shorts is kevin trying to figure out "HOW THE HELL" Big D got a 99p blender.
I can't wait to see the inter episode content, and particularly the wizard game visuals! Thank you guys for everything you make, best content around
I enjoy kevin, many people enjoy kevin. I am excited for more norfolk game as well.
I know you probably can't make time for doing more episodes like this, but I just want to say that the "censored" version of episode 4 was absolutely beautiful. "Bostonian" Martial arts? Censoring 99 p store? Absolutely inspired You should feel proud of that. Turning an issue into something magnificent.
I want you to know that after Earndil mentioned his role as Kevin's VA, it became impossible not to hear the bloodsucker while reading the rest of the post. Just like hearing BIG D if it's Speaker D writing. Am absolutely convinced that was intentional, how dare you.
In a world without Kevins to help you commit tax fraud, we are MORE THAN HAPPY to purchases Kevins to help legitimately resolve tax issues. I eagerly await his arrival and will be doing a photo shoot with him and my cat who is formerly known as Kevin.
Chapter 4 was absolutely worth the wait, and I am excited for eveything Kevin (and other) shorts and NWG content in this Limbo state that is waiting for Chapter 5 <3
The new chapter was a thousand percent worth the wait. Keep up the amazing work, y’all. <3
I read this update in Kevin's voice
I can’t wait for more Kevin
Gj mates. Your creations are my food, and I am fully sated. Thank you. Can't wait for the plushy.
Yeah that stuff is funny. I really loved to make in "TTS40K" how you managed to get the actor to voice and play the role of "Cegorach the Laughing god of the Eldar" so perfectly, it was amazing
I love it! If that’s any help: If the audiologs are any easier to produce than the full episodes: Please feel free to make some, they are allways amazing too! Or a Video Essay on the VoD Books like vampire or werewolf would be very appreciated as well. Overall: amazing videos all around, thanks ogres for all your hard work and I will look forward to keep supporting you all in the future with my Patreon subscription!
Something we have with pain realised regarding the Audiologs and Video Essay stuff specifically is that even if they take way less time to produce, they no matter what still stall work on the mainline content. Currently, we've dedicated ourselves to working on stuff other than Chapter 5 for a month just to have content to release in the dryzone between now and the Chapter 5 release. But that is something we planned for, at the cost of Chapter 5 taking a bit more time to make. That's the constant thing we have to deal with. If we release Audiologs, that's still gonna take time away from the next Chapter. If we could create Audiologs whilst avoiding stalling work on the next Chapter, that would be super ideal, but we've yet to figure out a way to do it that doesn't involve either sending too many people away from our main projects, or employing more people, which isn't really a possibility with the current budget. But we will try and do it. Being able to release Audiologs regularly whilst keeping the next Chapter on track is our holy grail currently. Our current experiment is to simply lower the quality of the Audiolog visuals, more to what they were before the Pub one. That, we think, will make our Audiolog content significantly easier to make, and could pave the path towards regular Audiologs AND no Chapter stalling.
I look forward to watching the GREAT and MIGHTY Kevin shorts with my GREAT and MIGHTY Kevin plushie. I just hope he gets along with the RedDot plushie I got from the last makeship promo I supported.
