Update 01/26 - New Year, New Update (Finally)
🕑 Added 2026-01-26 11:51:48 +0000 UTCWe finally de-iced the Patreon.
So we can get into it.
Who knew that 14 feet of frost coating would take so long to get through?
Hey everyone, Earndil here with yet more agitating news.
Hopefully not THAT agitating for us, or you all.
December and January both are really quite terrible months, as people seem to get sick often, and familial obligations pull us here and there for all kinds of holiday things.
But, now that we're finally getting back into the rhythm of things...
Let's cover some stuff.
Really, we don't have anything particularly noteworthy going on this month, besides slow rolling progress in the various works we have, including the next five projects slated for release, which we're currently in various stages of progress on.
Speaking of, the projects that we are currently working on are as follows:
Hunter: The Parenting Chapter 6
Base audio is almost entirely finished, storyboarding is done and we're now making an animatic out of it, and the animation itself is making big progress on scene's where the audio is already finished. Feeling good!!!
H:TP Chapter 5.4 - The Second Inquisition
A lot of the art has been drawn, and audio is currently being scheduled and recorded!
Got a LOT of characters in this one, especially new ones, given how its our great introduction to the capricious representatives of the Coalition.
H:TP Chapter 5.5 - Grimal Audiolog
Here, too, we are primarily scheduling for audio.
Preferably, we will get things recorded early here.
Norfolk Wizard Game Chapter 4
Norfolk Wizard Game has also been making steady progress recently, with work letting up after the last Audiolog.
As it stands, the first draft of the audio is almost complete, with another hour left to cover.
Currently considering if this should be our next release, or this next project...
GAMER PODCAST 2
That's right...
Marckus and Kitten are returning in yet another episode of their Secret Hunters podcast, wherein they are now on the hunt for a real haunted video game...
So, yeah, we're actually returning to this concept again.
This specifically because we wanted to see if we could actually produce something fun and snappy that doesn't immediately suffer from Effortcreep.
99% of the audio has already been recorded and the intent is for this to be an audio-based production that barely uses any art in the actual video.
This'll be our lowest effort production yet on almost every front, primarily focused on just being a fun, casual time for fans of these two freaks.
Expect this to be out on Patreon before it releases on YouTube.
And that is that on the production front, for now!
...
So, onto something less cool and fun briefly.
Long ago we made the move of existing in physical reality, which is a lot more than I can say for some people.
Due to this poorly thought out move, however, we are beholden to the ebb and flow of economics and politics, and in a similar situation to several years ago, due to the war in Ukraine affecting the Swedish economy, we are once again experiencing a money problem.
But worse this time!
Great!!!
WOULD YOU BELIEVE, THOUGH, THAT THE ISSUE NOW IS THAT THE ALMIGHTY AMERICAN DOLLAR IS TRADING FOR LESS KRONOR THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR?
To explain:
Due to certain... factors... creating distrust in US markets, the dollar is presently doing so bad that we have been losing out on two full wages worth of income in our studio, purely through this value fall. And it's not even as bad as its projected to get during this first quarter.
What does this mean for you, the viewer of our free works?
Ideally, not too much.
At present, we are going to be continuing to work, as we always shall be, but behind the scenes we will be devoting some time to identifying any solutions we can for this pretty serious problem.
Alfa has already made some headway, and hopefully, this week, we'll have another update for you focused purely on this, as we'll likely have to make some changes here on Patreon to avoid being dragged down further.
That's it for now, though.
Until next time, we hope you have a poppeng rest of your day.

Until next time, have a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RELEASE THE NFWG. Stop focusing on new shit until you complete your current projects. That is what I am paying for. If you have a value shortfall, then release the NFWG more than once a year and I'll consider upgrading my donation.

Here’s an idea: Maybe make a surprise Helldivers 2 skit, animated like a TTS episode? It would attract a new audience, and a large one at that. I can personally attest that all the lads at the Helldivers discord are TTS fans.

…I’m not gonna lie: The thumbnail GIF gives off “Old Married Couple” energy. Like it is VERBATIM my mom and step-dad’s marriage all over again.
