      @@Euenise Yeah, it was a bummer. The audio has all been recorded by the actors -- but we have to dig it up to see how far we got into editing it. So, there are just basic costs associated with finishing the edit, adding sound design and then the animation alone. I think if we could find an animator who would donate their time to finishing it, and we thought it could get a big audience, we might consider trying to finish.

    pistol or shortstop (to be functional in game)
    pretty boys pocket pistol
    Candy Cane or Stock.
    Still, my respect for the creators, and if you excuse me im gonna make that scout loadout into a mvm robot.

    Honestly kinda curious how you guys would've handled a L4D series if you got more access to Valve's IPs - a few of Gary's line deliveries (like at 1:42 when piecing together that he's "Douchebag") sound like a dead ringer to Nick.

    • @TheHLGStudios

  • @nadroji6549
    @nadroji6549 8 місяців тому +5

    I have several questions, mostly on how the world works. Clearly, this is following more SFM rules where certain liberties are taken, such as RED Scout insta killing Gary, Alissa performing parkour and one-shotting Heavies, & the pistol acting like an actual pistol. This makes some wonder if they are in the actual TF2 game universe, or transported in the actual game.
    If it's the former, this makes a lot of sense (may eliminate some tension/cause problems later if Medic can decimate three Heavies at once, but it's fine for now) & works the same as any SFM where more 'realism' & freedom is applied to movement, combat, & interactions.
    If it's the latter, this creates a whole slew of problems, such as what other players see when a Femedic (BTW, not complaining, but confused about the inclusion of Fem & Bot models) kills them in one shot while jumping off the walls or a Soldier getting killed in three shots by the pistol.
    I'm sure this would have been explained throughout the series & maybe made more sense if we had the full first episode. Overall, I'm very intrigued & interested in this idea & what it could have been.

    Really liked the shot of red team on the roof, especially with the two red bots, that was an unexpected treat to be sure (especially since they're entirely unused not just in pvp, but in the whole game), but the whole shot was just really well made.
    Certainly far from perfect, but its a shame this never went anywhere, seems like it would've been fun at least. Even seeming to be tackling elements from a few of those recent Gmod/SFM ARG series years beforehand.

      Yeah, Ave Espelita is amazing. He’s the lead animator at Ubisoft now so.. makes sense!

      ​@@TheHLGStudios Yeah, I watched the interview and saw that he is now the Lead Animator in Ubisoft Philippines (whish is also where I live), man is insanely talented. Still, interested to seeing more content related to the series in the future.

      We agree, it WAS dumb and we loved the work the actors did. It’s very funny.
