I'm personally really excited to hear that more technical breakdowns of the behind-the-scenes are coming; while I do enjoy hearing about the creative side of development, the actual technical production of stuff is always what I find most interesting and fascinating! Also excited that tutorials or guides on SFM might come. I have some very mild experience in SFM using other tutorials, but more is always a good thing I figure.

I love hearing how it was created, started in Intel Hell and worked backwards. It's insane to think not only how this film was created, but also its quality!

theres something wrong with the folder

Would be sick to see emesis blue get endorsed by valve and get an update similar to end of the line. Would be sick to have emesis blue cosmetics be in the game :)

The folder gives me more insight on what the movie's meaning actually could be, and debunking the convoluted plot. Can't wait for the release of the third film!

Thanks for releasing these! Looking at the alpha footage, I wonder if you'd originally planned to make Emesis Blue with just spliced stock audio from TF2's mercs. I would've thought the audio would be placeholders, but even the lipsync seems to match the dialogue. I wonder what it would've been like without the incredible voice acting that ended up in the final product; certainly the Conagher brothers would be a lot less intimidating and mysterious. Also interesting to note that in the alpha pass, the Sniper simply chose not to shoot the Soldier at all, perhaps unsatisfied with Soldier's lack of fear. In this same pass, the Pyro also certainly looks a lot less intimidating without the custom face model. Regarding the amazing, professionally edited commentary from Anton (seriously, I'm sure the broader YouTube community would love to see this), I'm glad you guys chose to make M Fortress despite worries of art clash. There's always been detractors saying stuff like TF2 is inherently silly so it's dumb to make anything sad or scary set in the TF2 universe, which has clearly been a mistaken idea since the very first Drama entries were submitted to the first Saxxy Awards and people started crying over a sentry being sapped. Spy and Soldier (I know they have names but I forgor what they are) are also iconic characters, even if they aren't technically the protagonists. Also very cool to learn the truth that Emesis Blue is just a spinoff of O.W.N. Anyways, looking forward to the next installment of the series, "title that i refuse to publicize"! Already the name carries a heavy-handed symbolism of mystery and intrigue.
