Prepare for the Sweedening

Just watched the new audio log. Congrats but I feel so dumb I messed up my patron name and its still emblazoned in the credits. Its fixed for a bit but I know it well be some time before the next credits refresh since you have been turning stuff out like mad. Love you all!

Soon was an accurate descriptor of when the new audiolog releases

Hi Alphabusa, if you see this comment I have a question if that's okay. Have there been any potential plans on more lore or art pieces of Big D's currently living family? Sons, Daughters and Grandchildren, possibly even some estranged members that wish to be no longer associated or some of his wives/husbands over the years? Of course excluding secret/lore important characters, But something about. Anything more of a fun tid bits than actual spoilers or major players. Also keep up the brilliant work as per usual.

ALFABUSAAAAAA! GIVE US AN EPISODE OF DETECTIVE SERGEANT GUY CHAPMAN! AND OUR LIVES ARE YOURS!!!

Heya I don’t know how to bring this to Ogre’s attention but there’s a site that is claiming to be an official source of the Matilda plush and is trying to scam ppl out of their money It’s called matildawilde.com and it’s made primarily of AI slop but uses HTP art in its thumbnails so hopefully there’s something that Ogre can do about it

The Ogre Team is best. I appreciate the concern for keeping pace but I'd wait a decade for the next episode and pay the whole way. You all are great. I loves you. <3

FUNNY PICTURE IS FUNNY HAA

One critique I have of episode 6 is that it's very unclear if the werewolf truly takes "mortal level damage" from silver or not. "True wounds". We see Stig get shot with 5.56mm rifles at least a couple of times, that are supposed to be loaded with silver ammo. I'm also still scratching my head why Kitten stabbing him with a silver blade didn't seem to do anything. And I'm not even sure if Remold's cane gun was loaded with silver or not.

I absolutely LOVED everything going into chapter 6, but as you did ask for constructive feedback I shall oblige. I think the biggest issue was just the wait and how much STUFF there was between chapters 5 and 6. I loved all of it, but it did build up a lot of expectations around chapter 6 being a much bigger finale for an arc instead of MORE buildup. This puts expectations for chapter 7 quite high - which is also fine, honestly, but may be quite a bit more stress on you all than you intended lol. But I also get WHY this was this way - Werewolf the Apocalypse is so dense in its world building that a lot of things had to be explained going into things.

I loved the last episode but it felt a bit rushed in the pacing, the fact most leopoldites died to ONE Wolf felt a bit underwhelming in what the leopoldites can do. But it isnt bad per se, just not what I personally hoped for. Overall I am looking very much forward to the next HTP episode and audiologs. Though rads 2 riches I must say sadly, has me not greatly motivated as I cannot help but see it as a distraction from HTP, which I just really love. Not that your other stuff isnt great its just again not easy to be as enthusiastic about it when it feels like it means less HTP.

Hello, loving the series as per usual. Y'all are putting out some serious PEAK. HOWEVER that being said: I think the audio mixing for the last two chapters has been a little iffy- a lot of sound effects are much quieter in the mix than I feel they need to be. For instance, the sound of guns isn't even as loud as the music in the background which gives the combat a strange kind of feeling. This is almost entirely an issue with the action scenes and everything else, including the audio logs and non-combat scenes of the chapters, are very very very good. TLDR: I think re-tuning the mixing in the action scenes would improve their impact. ok i love you guys keep up the insanely amazing work, I shall give you money forever no matter how broke i become :)

I respect you for coring me like an apple emotionally with Chapter 6. With that said, if I could offer some constructive feedback, it'd be this: A lot of the jokes in the first part didn't feel like they landed. "Farm," "Not Gastric Land!," those kinds. With the latter half of the episode being so serious, and ended with an important character's death, I feel the [ah hell enter button] first part's humor needed to harmonize better. I dunno how you'd do that, though, as I don't know how to be funny. As for the latter half, genuinely speaking, no notes. If there's ways to improve that section, I lack the insight to spot them.

I absolutely loved the chapter 6. Stig might be my favorite character now; he came in screaming like Gaya’s most overenthusiastic Pokemon. I also just loved seeing the crusaders and true faith in action. It was a roller coaster of highs and lows, and it was glorious. I honestly wisht to see more of Stig and what an interaction between him and Big-D would look like.

Been watching the entire series over again, it's just so good. As far as feedback goes, hard to say what would be worth criticizing as we don't have the full picture yet. Narrative decisions, especially potentially large ones like in Ch6, won't really be fully appreciated till the dust settles. Kind of like trying to fully judge Infinity War before watching Endgame. All in all though, top notch stuff, keep up the good work!

Chapter 6 was the best you guys have ever produced, seriously. The animations on the faces were smoother. Stig is my new favorite character. And I REALLY appreciated the balance between your paper puppets animation style (which is my favorite), actually animating faces to the dialogue, AND THE FUNNY CHIBI CARTOON ART! PLEASE DO MORE OF THAT! We LOVE your art style but effort creep is a thing! My husband and I LOVED that between the beautifully rendered sections there were funny cartoony bits like Matilda throttling Marcus. PLEASE DO THAT MORE. If you guys save the intense and beautiful animation for the intense or story-rich moments and save time/ make us laugh with cartoony or paper puppet like bits in between I think it preserves what makes your work stand out from others. Some constructive criticism would be it's a little off-putting when certain characters look/ feel different every time we see them because the art style is shifting. I can't put my finger on it but Grimal looked... wrong...? In her audiolog? She didn't feel like the same character-- her facial expressions didn't match much of her previous appearances, even with it being a serious scene. Please don't get rid of the paper puppet style-- that was my favorite thing about TTS. I see you guys moving toward more animation but honestly if you went completely to animation I would be disappointed. Keep what makes your series' special! So much love to the whole team!

Love chapter 6. your action animation keeps getting better and better.

Matilda audio log?! Maybe her and Amanda hanging out pre chapter house incident or something? Erm sign me.... up

I'm glad you feel you got useful feedback already, because I have none to offer. I'm standing in the cheap-seats cheering for such an excellent production. Yall are doing something very special here, and my cold old heart grows a few sizes every time you give us more. Cheers and thank ya.

The only think I can think of in terms of feedback at the moment is: Last year when you cleared the scriptwriting bottleneck, you gave us a list of the future chapter titles and their planned order. Given that the ending of this episode is such a huge cliffhanger (even more so than chapter 5), it would be quite nice to know a little bit about what's up next. To speak the plain truth: given how much we all (me, but not just me, but I don't know how many others) want to know what the *fuck* is Grimal's deal after all of this, I really just want to know how many in-between chapters I need to sit through before some of those questions are hopefully finally answered in chapter 7. As much as the "side stories" (for lack of a better term) are great, this episode ended on a moment that makes me mostly just want episode 7 asap, rather than more build up & context and character exploration. It feels like the climax is half finished, and I mostly wanna see the next half.

Here are a few constructive thoughts that apply to Chapter 6, but also to some other HTP content. If I had a very general criticism, I would say that so much "energy" was expressed and so much "effort" was put into the Chapter that it actually detracted from the quality of the overall production. More specifically, it feels like there is a drive to keep things energetic that robs the video of a progression of peaks and valleys, and of welcome contrasts. Similarly, so much effort comes across in "less important" scenes that it makes the "more important" scenes stand out less. An example of excessive energy: Kitten's constant state of despair/rage makes sense in-universe, but he's been like that for two lengthy audiologs (5.2 and 5.4), at least in turmoil for a third (5.5), and continued that into Chapter 6; it's a lot of content showing him in (understandably) heightened emotions and it's lost a lot of its impact. The general 'energy' could be lowered and more corners could have been cut in the production of the "werewolf cairn" and "hunter meeting in the forest" scenes and I think it would have improved the progression of tension and made the overall Chapter better, letting the tension of the "tent planning" and "stig confrontation" scenes shine even more. Other, smaller criticisms: in my opinion, some jokes don't land well with the current style/production value of HTP. For example, the butt-injections 'gag' would work in TTS, but just breaks flow here. In contrast, less bombastic gags like Stig explaining 'bra' to Grimal feel like they work. There are also times where different characters seem to take very different connotations for the same word, creating a weird sequence of dialogue (e.g., "honor" and "hope" during the Stig fight). Finally, more consistency in art style is always nice. I realize this one is probably rough to do and probably increases production time. That said, Chapter 6 felt more cohesive than Chapter 5 did to me, so I feel like you're on the right track! This was my best attempt to put into words the parts of the Chapter that stuck out to me as wonky. Hope it's helpful! It's been really cool to see you guys hone your craft over the years.

Pacing, I might like, come back to this if I can work out the thought more. But the episodes pacing felt a bitttt.........idfk just a bit much? A little fast? Maybe i am just old wrinkle

I honestly can’t think of anything I didn’t enjoy about chapter 6, if I haaad to nitpick I’d probably say the crusaders were hilariously weak, ik that’s partially the point as a means to emphasize how strong stig is and how dire the situation is but considering how they’ve been built up as this centuries old institution of archived knowledge and supernatural gusto seeing them fold completely against a single werewolf did make my head turn a bit, the true faith segment was awsome as hell though and again this is more of a nitpick than anything f I still think the episode as a whole action sequences and all were a joy to watch I’m really excited for anything you guys put forward next no matter how long it needs to take

how it went? HOW IT WENT?!?! YOU ARE ASKING US HOW IT WENT?!? IT WAS INCREDIBLE and the only thing i hate about it IS THAT THEIR WASNT MORE it was like a divine meal that ends too quickly and now i am hungry FOR EVEN M O R E BBBBBBBBBBBBBBRING US THE GOOD CONTENT KUSH

I just realized why the portrait looked so familiar. Damn, it's such a good throwback to The Emperor

Not sure if this was addressed elsewhere. If so my bad. Why was parley not an option? Did I miss something? I'm not trying to poke holes here, but it seems a pretty major aspect. While Matilda was THE VIOLENCE, her capture of Markus did seem to point to objectives other than ELIMINATION. The gathering of forces makes sense in case talks are no go, but skipping to the offensive seems heedless. Cause...you know...Garou.

Critical feedback: * Matilda being a comic angry character felt like a bit of a letdown after seeing her almost successfully manipulate the investigation in her last appearance and keep her anger in check until the end; * Grimal's last stand as a concept was amazing, but it doesn't last very long so the dramatic weight have a lot of time to build up before being released when she dies. * Big-D ass shot haunts me * No criticism for this one, I just really liked that after being made fun of in the last Audiolog, the St. Leopold troops were able to make a stand before being cut down, betrayed by their corporate partners.

Hey, could you please have more Susu in your content, I am TOTALLY not Weird about her, hehe, especially her.... War-Form....

I will say, you said chapter 6 was a “glacial pace” but I dont think thats right, like if NOTHING came out between 5 and 6 id say that but we got like 4 audiologs, the gamer podcast, a merch drop and whatever the fuck Garg Goblingriller is. Oh and 2 episodes of NWG. If anything the upload pace has been brisk.

One idea for revenue maximization: there are videos on YouTube posted by unaffiliated accounts of HTP fight scenes and other “highlights.” Some of them have hundreds of thousands of views. Why not post those yourselves? Maybe not on Bruva’s channel, but if you posted them on one of your other channels it could boost your overall AdSense revenue.

my only criticism is for myself, to believe that 6.1 would release this weekend was foolish of me. i forgive myself. i also think D`s mouth felt a lil weird when he stands in front of kitten and grimal. It was a great episode. I also saw a dude on the comments saying grimals abrupt end was also a bit... abrupt narratively speaking and i agree but i dont see how you could correct it since release rythym is more budget related than something where you can artististically grow from. Great work aishiteruyo

I really loved the episode, and my only real criticism is that I feel the Markus scene revealed to much to early. After watching the scene, we not really worried about what might happen to him anymore because the werewolf gang just seem to be a bunch of goofs(whom I love) that probably won’t (at least in the immediate future) subject Markus to any horrible fate (hope I don’t eat those words). Also I feel like we could’ve gotten a lot more fear from the Stig fight scene if we didn’t already know he was a goober. But either way still a great episode!

bro thats fucking ross on the painting

If you are wanting ideas for new an interesting ways for funds, such as for the State of the Ogre, you could do single fundraising streams. Maybe art streams with some of your artists, or just chatting streams with the gang

NYCKELHARPA!!!!!!!!!!!! hells ye!

I'm seconding a comment I read... I think you folks erred on the side of too much caution on giving advanced warning (some may call this marketing/advertising) but I'm also someone that thinks you folks should totally be selling more merch besides the makeship stuff (sticker packs, shirts, etc) but I also realize that comes with having people dedicated to whether it's inhouse or on demand and if the former, someone has to be the inventory control/shipping dept/customer service/accounting. REGARDLESS, so proud of how far you folks have come along in how you do your animations. This episode had full lip synching and I applaud it. I know it's a pain to do. I am acknowledging that the pain was worth it and appreciated and hope the pain subsides and the task gets easier. I'm sure you've heard plenty about the fight scenes but I want to single out the scene with Occam using the flame thrower as being under appreciated. I read from Rude Rubicante's socials that the head split scene was somewhat censored. I'm curious to see the uncensored version. And your voice actors are all absolutely brilliant but also are working off of a brilliant script. Your illustrators make me envious and I wonder if I can diablerize them to get their power for my own art. I may not be paying much as a patreon subscriber at this time but I fully support the philosophy of having these patreon updates free for all. So yeah, I'd like to give you more constructive feedback but you folks are genuinely doing some of my favorite work here and I hope the staff enjoys their work as well.

I can tell you guys put a lot of effort into making the show, and really appreciate what you're doing. I know it's tough out here but this shit's sick and as long as you're willing to put stuff out and I've got the means, I'll keep supporting you guys as long as you're doing cool stuff. Also yeah Episode 6 was great, every episode keeps getting better and better.

shapter 6 was indeed beautous to behold except for [loud buzzing static of spoiler] but even that looked so good it was hard to be upset really. love ur faces ogres thank u for muy shouw :)

Ch. 6 was amazing. I was legitimately left speechless after it. For criticism, I do not really have any.

Thansk for all your effort. And work

As constructive criticism, I would offer that I find the writing from Ogre to be generally stronger in scenes where fewer characters are talking. IMO, the best (and seemingly most popular) audio logs have been long form discussions between two characters (D and Chapman, Chapman and Kevin, D and Kevin, etc). I’ve noticed that the comedy doesn’t work as well for me in more crowded scenes, such as the coalition audio log, or in the scene with Markus and the followers of Shuck in Chapter 6, where it felt like there were too many eccentric characters sharing the stage at once. Compare that to the Markus pubbing audio log, where the zany characters (Grimal, Elise, Brock) were introduced one by one and always had a “straight man” (Markus/Harry) to bounce jokes off of. I love HTP because of how it balances its dramatic storytelling with its tabletoppy style. But more recently, I’ve felt that the tabletop influence has become slightly over pronounced. That probably appeals more to people on this Patreon than it does to the broader YouTube audience.

Mmm, constructive criticism you say? Now if I voiced this somewhere else please ignore but if not… Overall episode 6 was good but, there something that does bug me about it. I think the pacing felt off or haphazard. The switching from tense anxiety to slap stick comedy to noble ect. kinda felt a bit weird in the first half of episode 6. That’s really my only complaint at the moment, thou in all honest I think I might be my only one, considering the world and how you guys write.

Episode 6 was Very well crafted, props to the whole team.

I can't really think of anything that I didn't like about chapter 6. It was perfect. Stig became my favourite character even though he killed my previous favourite character.

Thanks for all the hard works. Chapter 6 was great. Looking forward to the NWG, audio logs and other projects. However I must say that I noticed a bit of a change in the quality of the animation. While visual upgrade is appreciated and it looks great... well for my taste hmm it's too lively if it makes sense - during conversations to be precise - fighting was top notch 101/10. Up to this point characters were more (how should I say it...) restrained. At least for me, this new 'energy' is kind of a bit distracting for my taste. Also I think style did change a bit from the previous chapter - more details yes, but less refinement. Or maybe it's just me. Either way, keep up the good work.

Oh man, I love... *squints at music poster* Milk Banana Turkey Porridge?

I love my wod boys! I love my WOD BOOOOOOOOIIIISS!

Enjoyed the wolf goon cave episode and looking forward to the Rad content to come.

That's some impressive endurance to create something as well detailed as chapter 6 <3 Personally, I'd say you've all earned time to take it easy! I'd also like to say I *really* love the audiologs and, very personally, I'd be joyous with a pure audiodrama! like a radio drama!

My biggest criticism isn't actually about the episode but about the way in which it was released, you announced it through an edit of a post that teased it, and then just released it, like I've only seen the fact you confirmed chapter 6 in said YouTube post today, when I've seen it it just said that you're going to release something big, and people in the comments section were like "more NWG" and "they're bringing back half life zero viscosity" plus it being a single post made it so many people missed it I think that in the future you guys should consider doing what the Walten files people did with the recent episode that came in the exact same day as episode 6, they made a post everyday in the week of release, with art teases and a count down to the day of release, ensuring that everyone subscribed and even many not subscribed, are aware and ready to click in the first few hours of release, which pushed them in the algorithm and should push you guys as well if you do it As it stands, it actually pains my soul to see you guys put so much love and effort to this amazing work, only to not even Crack half a million after two weeks, you guys deserve so so SOO much more ❤️

Chapter 6 was great! Grimals last stand felt very appropriate for the setting. She was very outmatched and that's what made the hit that much bleaker, while also still being satisfyingly tragic. Stig is such a high point in the episode, his genuine regret is what made the ending work so well for me. It also made the werewolves so interesting. They feel like just as much as a group of weirdos as the D-family or a player group.

while it's hard to really pick at anything worth criticism, since the bepisode was bery bood. I think the pacing of the story is in a rather weird place. sure, it was this big and grand rescue mission, and we got set-up for D and Brok's adventure... but i feel it lacked a proper release of tension, and that's what may cause any comments about it being too short because sure, Grimal's death and Stig feeling sorry for her, was a great and powerful moment... but i cannot really say it was an "ending" moment, if that makes sense i feel it lacked some sorta cliffhanger, like WeeWoo crew calling for Stig's status, a shadowy figure in the distance, or something like that cuz the SI audiolog, put so much tension on the characters, i think the ending could use a bit of easing on the characters, to give us, viewers, the "will they get an advantage" feeling because at the current moment, we have put most of our hope in D and Brok to actually save the day. And while it may very well be what happens, we're just left in this feeling of "how bad things will get from here?"

Chapter 6 was absolutely fantastic. Well written. Well animated. Well received. Well traumatizing. Though I must say Markus gathering Jambles is one of the famous dogs from Dogs Playing Poker, while quite funny, was a little bit sudden without Jambles making some sort of obscure reference to the painting after Markus asked him what his deal was. That is honestly my only comment about the episode. Other than that, flawless. Especially Matilda's hatred of Langage.

CONTENT!! Chapter 6 was very good in pacing and dialogue as usual. The action and fight scenes were superb and the extra time and work was felt. As for critique, I feel there were certain points of overlapping dialogue and music drowning out voices, mainly during the fight with Stig. Overall, the Ogre has earned it flowers. Ps. RADS TO RICHES BABEY, I LOVE FANCY LAD SNACK CAKES LETS GOOOOOOOO

Can we get som lore on Stig's facial hair routine?

I loved chapter 6, but some things I'd criticise is one piece of the animation and how Hunts' characterization seemed too comedic in this episode. She managed to infiltrate human society for quite some time and now she sucks at communication doesn't recognise numbers she can't count on her fingers? I hope it will make sense after the audiolog. As for the animation, some of Stig's movements in the early parts of the fight looked somewhat stilted and not as quick as he probably is given that he managed to avoid almost all of the bullets fired at him. Especially when he's running into grass to hide.

Mmmm my favourite GARGO'S Brand Entertainmen men from the Scadas, Algles and Putrid USAndA. You take all the time we can bare! U'll do excellently as per usual, or us the hive mind will dock your pay with a rocket launcher ❤️

Also will harry, Elise and Amanda join the golden goose gang

Woooo good luck guys

Fantastic! I'm so excited for Rads to Riches!

BY GAIA, THIS WAS A GLORIOUS EPISODE

I nearly cried when Grimal dropped, ya bastards...

Were greatful for that I hope the next audiolog after Matilda will be about the pentex members along with the few members of the five torches except for the society of saint leopold panicking that the briefcase was stolen and both Charles and Mike will release their black spiral dancer forms to go after them

LETS GOO

Yesssssssssss

Chapter 7 is coming out it is going to be great

Ah, another year of waiting commences. 😎

Guessing the middle alcove is Stig's? I'm taking it between the guitar and the boots he wears, he carries on tye tradition of Swedish black metal? (I don't have much in the way of constructive feedback sorry for my fail)

Hello! The episode was amazing! I feel I should point out that I wasn't in the credits of chapter 6 like I was supposed to be, but that's okay ^w^ More importantly, last episode was breathtaking, and watching it as a scandinavian made me giggle a lot. Alfa did an amazing job as Stig, and the werewolf crew is super hot- I mean, interesting. For constructive criticism... I suppose I felt a bit confused about how little we got to see of Matilda and Markus' trip through the umbra, but I'm guessing thats what the next audiolog is about so nevermind ^^;; Love you guys 🩷

Chapter 6 was absolutely phenomenal! The stand out moments are the Pack introduction, the fight between Stig and the hunters was incredibly well choreographed (and funny), and I gotta say…Love the Dragon Ball reference with Grimmal Can’t wait to see the Matilda/Hunter of hunters audiolog

Oof ill have to do a proper write up on the episode because I do want to give solid feedback, and I've already watched it 6 times so I think I can lock in

Hi. Loved the chapter the characters are so multi leveled and interesting. I think the only thing people want from the channel is more production updates. You all have made such a intriguing and deep story, So many twists and turns especially the use of a throw away joke being a important plot line that was crucial later. Thank you for the update and can not wait for the next chapter and audio log

if im fed any more riddles i will be tried and then riddled with bullets

Continue to feed us, and all the riches in the world must then flow towards you. It is the way that the world should function and as such is our duty towards a better reality

My jaw is on the floor from episode 6 and it took a car jack to get it back up, but still take your time!!! Don’t explode yourselves!!!! Also the vocal work on stig genuinely…mm chef’s kiss

I liked the latest episode, as always. though it feels like you’ve been suffering in the algorithm due to how infrequently you release content. You could have more frequent releases by chopping up the episode, those little intermissions would be perfect stopping points. IDK just a thought

I love how despite being one huge cave, the 3 have they're personal rooms of sort.

thank you ogre

Chapter 6 was fantastic! Can't wait for the next audio log!

thansk for not kill off git yes

THE CONTENT MUST FLOW
