Episode 6, Head Space Warriors, will be online Sunday, March 3rd on Zeurel's YouTube channel. We've got a ton hope that going independent with him is at least a stepping stone to a new season. Maybe even different games (shocking!) Stay tuned!
Edit: It's online.
We see the return of animators Zeurel & Fufuberry, along with newcomers TickityTock (who worked on the game Skullgirls), Chrispy (Titan Maximum, Mary Shelly's Frankenhole) & Peter Turner!
By the way, yesterday was the one year anniversary for the show.

OP: I brought this up on the server a couple days back & now I wanna make it official.
I'm making a cartoon series about you all. Yup, you all. Fufu & I made two "The Locals" episodes that turned out to be pretty fun to both produce and watch. I've embedded them below in case you haven't seen them. What I want to do is go into production of a short reality series, probably 6 episodes with recurring characters. The footage and audio will be taken strictly from TF2 demos and replays then the people involved get animated for their dialog.
"The Locals" had actually a fair amount of work put into them (about 2 days total per video) so doing 6 full-length episodes (about 3 to 5 minutes each) is going to be a shit ton of work. I don't expect to have this done quickly as I want to do it right & not rushed. I'm opening every stage of production for you all to jump in on. Pretty simple when it's broken up.
Pre-Production:
We need .dem files. I have a catalog going back to last summer (and I know they stop working at a point) but here's how we'll do it. E-mail .dems to [email protected] with a description & character list featured within the .dem. Don't blindly send them to me, note the time of anything hilarious so I know where to look. We don't need footage of badass TF2 action, what we do need is samples of dialog between individuals and/or themselves.
Update: Replays now allow chat in your renders. And yes, hitting f6 during spectate does work & gives very long (and large) replays.
Production:
This will be primarily handled by Fufu & I.
Update: After realizing the daunting nature of animating a huge number of characters, we've invited other animators to work with us to produce the show. Each one of them owns a share of what we make from the ads.
Animators include:
Fufuberry
Zeurel
Too Much Spare Time
Tickity-Tock
Peter Turner
Chrispy
Avid Lebon

Story:
How are we gonna make a consistent story out of random game laughs & people? My idea is to incorporate small "interviews" with people, who I'll choose after having enough rendered footage to build all 6 episodes. Think "Best In Show" but with gamers (the 'show' being tf2.)
Story Reference:
Style:
The art style will be similar to The Amazing World of Gumball with how they interject cartoon characters in a realistic world. The actually story arc that'll occur will have to be a manufactured one (like building up to Hippies proposal to Pinkle, or something like that.) It'll be decided solely on how much stuff we can get from the demos & how recurring certain people are.
So yea, lets do this shit.
cant wait to see it, though
