Update 06/12 - State of Scriptwriting Troubles and Other Things
H
Me.
Alfabusa.
I place myself on the sacrificial altar again once again.
Other common Post Updatist, Earndil, is still on vacation.
In fact, he and his partner Sophie was at my house a few days ago!!
This despite me decaying at a rapid rate due to an evil preschool virus.
He and his partner escaped unharmed however.
But afterward, they were held under the thrall of Karl the Deranged, who has recently invaded and undermined the city of Stockholm (he has built a giant mine underneath the city (it will fall into a sinkhole in any moment)).
I am begrieved to report no one has heard from them since.
Anyway whatever LMAO let’s update you on things.
Hunter: The Parenting Script-Writing Issues?
So!
Last time, I addressed our most significant bottleneck as of currently.
That being scripts.
The bottleneck does still remain, all our productivity liquid has yet to pass through it.
But, that is not to say no juices have past their gates!
In fact, we’re much better off currently than we were last update.
To start off, the script for the next Sub-Chapter to be released, Chapter 5.2, the Werewolf Lore Audiolog, has as of yesterday officially been stamped FINISHED! THANK FUCK!!!
So, that will now move into the arduous process of collecting voicework, something that’ll likely be a bit harder than usual since it is quite a long Audiolog with a surprising amount of characters.
What’s more!
Chapter 5.3, The O’Tolleys Audiolog starring Boy and Door, is also on its way, but is not yet fully finished.
With the Werewolf Audiolog done however, we can direct more attention towards finishing that one too.
There is also Chapter 5.4, what we call The Second Inquisition Audiolog.
That one has not had too much work directed towards it, but will now with the completion of the Werewolf Log, as that will be MY primary project going forward.
Finally, there is Chapter 5.5, which hasn’t been touched since last, but is practically finished already as it was the script Earndil wrote and wrapped up before he went on vacation!
There’ll be time to tinker with it if need be, but that one was ironically finished first despite being last of the Audiologs you’ll be hearing.
All in all, we’re still stuck in the scripting mines, and the bottleneck remains.
But, we just gotta trudge through, finish off all these scripts, and THEN focus more on... other things.
We do not want a situation like we’ve been in happening again, so we’re stockpiling scripts going into the future, and making sure that we have scripts immediately prepared for after the release of Chapter 6.
Now, as for Chapter 6…
HUNTER: THE PARENTING: CHAPTER 6
Ahhh, Chapter 6...
Much work has been done on Chapter 6.
A lot of the storyboarding has been finished and it is just…
Looking absolutely gorgeous to me.
This will be such a fun Chapter to animate.
Past that, work on the audio has also progressed quite a bit.
Voicework has still not been fully recorded yet.
Big-D, for one, has not been recorded! For shame!!!
But, ThunderPsyker has helped out with the audio editing and has managed to piece together many of the scenes whilst leaving space for the lines of characters who have not yet been recorded for.
Norfolk Wizard Game WHERE?
Alack and alas.
Same situation as last.
Work has been done on it, Karl in particularl heroically pushing it forward between his bouts of stone-carving beneath Stockholm City.
All in all though, it is going way slower than usual due to a lack of people working on it.
This will be rectified when the Scriptwork Bottleneck is done for.
It is just that we NEED Scriptwork Bottleneck over and done with.
Otherwise our fingers will be crushed by the ogre.
You understand.
We’ll see where we’re at by next update.
Also, no update on the Gamers of Workshop side of things!
So that’s good!!
Just figured I’d mention it, in light of the last post!
Thank you for your time and patience and generosity.
Until next time, have a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karl's back at it yet again
Quick question to Norfolk Wizard Game. Is it possible to upload episode 2 on Spotify? It took me quiet some time (6 month) to find out that episode 2 came out cause i listen to it over spotify at work. I can not watch the video at work but spotify is allowed.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but unfortunately uploading on Spotify and other podcasting apps has mostly been to our detriment and so we kinda stopped. We survive off of engagement on the youtube channel in particular and if people do not watch or listen to it there, we'll be losing out on that engagement in favour of engagement on platforms that don't really give us anything for us posting their content there. Admittedly cynical, but uploading on all other platforms is inevitably time and effort spent on something that doesn't really provide us enough to justify it, yknow? The one other choice would be uploading .mp3s here on Patreon. Would that be an acceptable alternative?
I yern for the world of darkness, feed me FEED ME *starts rping as my soul cursed barbarian, hunter character*
Hes a hellfire sorcerer with ties to the OLD wrym I love him
Hope Earndillio didn't catch Stockholm Syndrome. Which going by Alfa and Karl consists of ones voice being contorted beyond recognition and developing a strange obscession with excrements, bile and innards.
...excited, excited, excited, excited...
I think I preffered Wizard game released as a podcast without the visuals.
Seconded. The visuals are amazing, but honestly, I'm here for the script work. I'd probably watch HtP entirely out of shadow puppet reenactments. Then again, we're both Patreon subscribers, which bias us towards accepting more barebones work because we just love it so much. At the end of the day, they have to please more than just their subscribers. I'd be down for a dual release with the podcast here on Patreon, but that probably hurt their views on Youtube, as not enough views within a timeframe = less algorithm reach overall. As much as it hurts me to accept it, we'll probably have to wait until the animations are done :(
Please do not the rushings, the incredible quality of the show is probably tied to the sheer amount of time you give everyone involved to perfect their craft
Woooo!!!!
Me see post. Me happy. I am so hyped for the O'Tolley's Audio Log!
The O'Trolley Problem.....
I knew I heard growling and pickaxe noices when I last dared entering the Old King's city
[reads post entirely in funny Sveden voice]
I might have brain damage - my first though upon seeing Marckus face and the panel number "p34-D" was "damn must be a pretty big cock". Thankfully, I remain chained to work, bound to create things which aren't as horrifying or nonsensical as my subsequent thoughts. Nice to see the progression though, go team!
so excited for Marckus to be in wolf land
It should have been me, not him!
You guys keep up the good work. Even with the troubles, you're still more productive than most!
I absolutly adore you Alfa. Thank you for the update. Good luck at work [and Stockholm aniHOLEtion}. B
When I get these update e-mails from Alfabusa, I'm always torn on whether to read them in Wamuudes' voice or in the PENTEX Advertiser's voice. Decisions, decisions...
I think I can speak for all of us: Yall are worth the wait. Take all the time you need, and I hope everyone enjoys some vacation/escaped from Karl.
You don’t understand how starved I am for sweet sweet Ogre videos 😅 Gimme moar! 😄😄 My greed aside, thank you all for working so hard on the projects. Any news on the Half Life Project? It’s not my favorite, but all of yours Projects are sweet.
Godspeed, Alfa & team. May your fingers remain uncrushed by the ogre
So, what is Markus horrified of, by the way? Did he see the image from last update and discover his furry side, like some members of the audience certainly also did?
Nah, he just saw his brother, Lemon Ross
Most excellent update on this fine Friday, as I sit under the watchful gaze of Sir D and Kevin at my desk. They tell me things of magicks and the game of Ur for some reason.
Same here, both sitting on my cabinet, but Istead of magics, they whisper me all dark secrets of meatballs with sauce and brussel sprouts, good human foods, yes,yes.
Good news! Y'all still alive. Glad to hear. And I got a small increase to my monthly income so I can go back to giving more than €1/month! I hope all diseases pass quickly and only cause you to sneeze when it would comedically interrupt your sentences.
I was wondering if and when the newer audiologs will be added to the Spotify playlist?
Thank you for the update Alfa. I am but a humble ghoul and this series remains my desperately sought after vitae, so I shall continue to wait with bated breath. As always, I hope everyone remains safe while working in the script mines!
what a wonderful Friday to see a hint of my babygirl hopefully getting his shit rocked and having a miserable, terrifying time! thank you all so much for the consistent updates, it’s good to see you’re alive and kicking! we’re ready to wait as long as need be because your work is so amazing. hope karl had a good time building that mine!
good riddance stockholm smells like piss
Happy Poppenanging!! It’s wonderful to hear from you and yours, and I personally cannot wait to sink my teeth into more H:TP audiologues! They’re perfect for playing while at work, and I thoroughly enjoy the hard work you put into them! Many thanks, and fantastic luck to all of you!
