Update 08/14 - Animation, Audiowork and the Apocalypse!
AY
It is Alfabusa, doing one of these that they them Updates again.
I want to first remark that work has been slightly slower due to this being prime vacation period in our little company...
But, that does in no way mean things haven't progressed.
In significant ways, even!
So, let us look at each individual project we're going at right now to see where we are.
Hunter: The Parenting Script-Writing Issues?!
No!
We are officially out of the bottleneck!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!!!!!
THANK FUCKING GOD
I am so happy to be out on the other side of this.
Don't get me wrong, writing scripts is one of the most fun things we do.
But, it's been so much work to get us to a place where we feel comfortable refocusing and lending less time to scriptwork.
As you may or may not know, in the last months, we've been stuck in a period of intense scriptage. This, due to a major lack of finished scripts after the completion of Chapter 5.
This very much ended up bottlenecking us, slowing down almost all other facets of production in favour of getting our scriptwork up and running properly again.
But now, finally, FINALLY....
We no longer have an all-hands-on-deck situation going on and most of the crew can go back to focusing on other work.
And, speaking of other work…
CHAPTER 5.2: Werewolf Lore
Things have started truly picking up on this front.
We now have two people working on the audio, myself and Earndil, and boy oh boy oh boy have I missed audiowork.
But, whilst we’re making great progress, this is currently looking to be the longest Audiolog ever. So, it’ll take a bit extra to get concluded, but I promise it’ll be worth it, I have no small amount of confidence in the vibes this Sub-Chapter is setting the table with.
Look forward to some tasty previews in upcoming Updates.
CHAPTER 5.3: Let's go to O'Tolleys!
As we might have mentioned last, Chapter 5.3 has been finished and is ready to be recorded! Our dear friend Mackeerre has also started composing some concept tracks for this particular Chapter, which will surely tantalize the brain meat. Door’s Theme coming back strongly.
CHAPTER 5.4: Second Inquisition
This has been the last script to be finished up by us, but indeed, it has now officially been finished and shot with the approval gun.
And with this great beast finally sealed, we have passed through the claustrophobic throat of the bottle and exited onto the vast world of the kitchen floor that we may become a sticky puddle upon, growing with the bacterial fungi of freedom. Glee
CHAPTER 6
Chapter 6 is finally, actually moving into the realm of animation.
With storyboarding finished, audio in a great state and almost all the new fullbodies finished, we’ve had illustrators start drawing our first Panels. And now, with everything else in place, those Panels will be animated! Extremely exciting!
CHAPTER 7
Now that the bottleneck has been truly exited, Chapter 7 is going to be the next big focus, with our goal being to have Chapter 7 fully finished before the release of Chapter 6, so no other evil fucked up script bottleneck keeps us pinned down for months on end by the time of the next release.
If I’m real, this has been a highly frustrating and stressful time for us, but now we’re finally back from purgatory and able to keep our gears greased going into the next phase of production.
Norfolk Wizard Game
So, we finally managed to release NWG Chapter 3. Took some time.
The great yearning does not go unrecognised.
Our want is to get the next one out far sooner than it took for Chapter 2 to be released.
We’ve started setting up the editing for the next one already, and you can expect an audio version of NWG Chapter 4 to release here on Patreon a good time before it releases on YouTube.
In addition, we’ll be making an extra upcoming post that will contain every single Chapter of NWG released so far in mp3 format, available for you to download, that we will update every time a new Chapter releases.
And THAT is IT for this Update!
Until next time, have a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is Sir D gonna beat the immortality allegations?
Alfabusa questions when do you think sub chapters/5.2 subchapter will realse will it be these September or October also when will chapter 6 will realse questions when will a tzimisce or lasabro will appear in hunter the parenting will it be soon when will werewolf act be done at least will tzimisce appear before 2027? I hope you see my question and have time to answer them it would be great appreciated.
Why 2027? Also, if you're new, they always tell you release dates when they know them. When they don't know when something will be released, they don't say. So, if they don't say in the updates, it's because they don't know
I'm happy that the NWG are released first in MP3 then on YouTube, I usually listen to them again so the sooner the better in my opinion.
Do y'all post the videos on other platforms than youtube?
THIS GLORIOUS UPDATE EXCITES MY BRAIN JELLY AND I FIZZ IN ANTICIPATION OF THE AUDIO-VISUAL DELIGHTS IN STORE.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... im just really excited
Greatness is on it's way!
It's saturday, my 4 weeks of vacation just started, i'm playing minecraft on one screen and rewatching wizard game/hunter: the parenting on the other one, it's raining and cool outside, i have the door out to my balcony open and my cats are watching birds in the trees there. Has my life peaked? Perhaps. Do i mind? no.
Update, i ordered pizza. Nothing but downhill from here, bois!
Lets goo
YAY!!! I can’t wait and is looking forward to this!!
Awesome update 👏 thanks for keeping us in the knows.
I cannot wait for CRAZY ogrepoppenang burger!!!
Excellent! LOVE what's her face in the bottom corner. Glad to hear things have un-bottleneck'd!
I long for your releases just like I long for the release of my X and Reddit accounts.
I yearn for the norfolk wizard game. The killing of clippy should be a youtube short.
We're so lucky to get a Second Inquisition...wait, that's bad!!!
Let’s all go to O’Tolley’s, Let’s all go to Tolley’s, Let’s all go to O’Tolley’s and garb ourselves a Snack.
'And then did the clog give way, and the river blast forth...'
YEEEAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE BOTTLENECK HAS BEEN BEHEADEDST!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at it bounce on the ground, adorable, makes me want to KICK!!!!!!
That artwork is FIRE
OMG!!! An update! What a wonderful Friday
Holy shit more Norfolk Hood Wizards
The mage episode was great! I really like how the historic collector guy (i forget naem sorry) has a "secretly shady, has deals with crackheads" kind of vibe. I do wonder who that Genius Empire dude is though, since one of the players (Oroshii ig?) mentioned he had been part of a previous, different RPG of yours. Lastly, the Landlord's clothing in the ending were cool. As you can see, I'm not exactly at my sharpest right not, and that's because in the last couples of days I spent a lot of time working on editing a video for a pitch me and my friends were working on. However, that got me appreciating even more how you guys polish every aspect - while I'm a noob and that definitely made it take far longer, just the amount of effort that can go towards making the subtitles can be a pain, and poor preparation can make it even worse. I guess all this rant is to say: Despite all the bottlenecks, you guys certainly have a reasonably tight way to go around these things. I have marginally higher expectations for the series now! (They already were fairly good to be clear.) Hope we manage to reach the fated Regent saga a few years down the line. Cheers!
Also sometimes I feel a compulsion to write gigantic paragraphs of text. I try not to but yeah, sorry.
I look forwards to more forbidden gushers and Sampson Slurpies
They managed to hit the very narrow target of "disgusting but not so disgusting that I gag and stop watching the video/movie". Well done, greatly appreciated. I look forward to more as well
I always imagine big D writing these announcements and it makes it even better tu read them
Me too, but it's weird because sometimes the phrases make me feel a more Kevin vibe and suddenly the voices switch mid-sentence, which makes me realize I have a choice in the voice selection and I start tweaking out figuring which voice I'd rather use Big D's voice is usually my final choice tho
Badass to hear guys! I hope you all got to enjoy a lovely season at least!
My brain meat ever yearns for more substance in the formats of audio and visual deliciousness, ever thankful to you wonderful group of talented individuals for feeding the collective hive mind trapped in flesh suits!! Dont work too hard!
Seconded
Yoooo I’m super psyched with this update!!!! I can’t wait, and even though I hope y’all don’t burn yourselves out, I really REALLY want to see what’s cooking. Happy Poppenanging!!!
The quality on 5.1 was above and beyond, can't wait to see what yall have cooking up next!
Thank ye ogres
Bupdate
My great yearning for mage is only countered by me greater yearning for the audiologs.
Yeag more audiolog and more mage gaeme and please new fallout gaeme
Sire! I yearn for the fallout TTRPG project can you strike down Earndil with great vengeance for not giving us this boon? If not im fine with waiting
I guess you could say that project Fell Out of favor with the crew huh!
>Doing audio work for Werewolf lore >looking to be the longest Audiolog ever. LETS F*CKING GO!!!
