Update 06/25 - H:TP Chapter 5 & Norfolk Wizard Game - A Disgustingly Late Update
🕑 Added 2024-06-25 10:40:56 +0000 UTCAY
It is Alfabusa, here to give you the Latest Update of All Time...
Why?
Just a thousand different mundane reasons all coalescing into the worst delay ever.
Chapter 5 and NWG taking priority, sickness, summer holidays and bad ol' forgetfulness.
All in a vile cocktail.
So nothing serious has happened, its just been a bunch of bullshit.
But now that we're back on track!
... Let me get on with it immediately.

We're making good progress on Chapter 5!
Currently, we're ahead of schedule, even.
Unfortunately, I must report that the newest Chapter is... uGHHg...
45 minutes long? Something like that?
There was a lot to cover, I'll just put it like that.
It might end up shorter as we go.
But, for now, we're looking at the longest Chapter to date.
So, even with us being ahead of schedule, it will still sadly take some time before the release of this Chapter. We'll of course update you on the state of the thing as we go.
What's also worth mentioning is that progress on the Chapter might slow down again as we enter deeper into the summer season and people take some time off.
In September, a whole lot of us are gonna be meeting up to fuck around here in Sweden, so that's gonna be an instance of no real work possibly getting done for one. But, 'til then, we're gonna work to stay ahead of schedule so, when we hit the holiday, it'll just be a +/- = 0 situation.
AUDIOLOG?!
A great boon to us is of course that an Audiolog is in the works by our B-Team!
They're still going at it and over 30 something minutes of the audio has been mixed down so far. So don't expect to go through a complete dry spell during our work with EP5. The B-Team Experiment is, so far, going great.
Attached to this post, you can find the first 12 minutes of the new Audiolog (a work-in-progress version).
We hope you'll like it!!!

This month, we have officially started releasing Norfolk Wizard Game on YouTube.
You can find the first Awakening, the Awakening of Bill Morgan, here:
The next three Awakenings including Chapter 1 are going to be releasing every week for the next month or so.
I can sadly not guarantee Chapter 2 appearing a week after the Chapter 1 release. We'll be working on it between HTP Chapter 5 and the next HTP Audiolog, and we'll try to make it in good time. I know those who listened to the Spotify version of NWG have been very excited for a new Chapter. Now that the YouTube releases have started happening, we're going to be putting more focus towards them.
Thank you very, very much for the supremely nice feedback we've received on the first Awakening, it is immensely appreciated, and a special thank you to everyone who just came here as a result of Bill and his wacky ape friend.
Sybil's Awakening will be coming out on Friday, if everything goes as planned!
And I do believe that's that for today?!
Thank you for your big patience and your immense generosity.
I hope you're having a great and cool and good summer.
Next update should not, in fact, be this late.
Alfabusa
Until next time, have a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Retro Doofus
Unconfirmed but I think the new Kevin and Chapman short is
Jared Adkins
I kinda stopped keeping up with yalls stuff for awhile then NWG dropped its weird af to see a stories setting to be where I live
Herls
You knew what you were doing with Elise. You knew and you did it anyways. I know will have that image ingrained as a core memory
Mithril-blade
Marcus is flipping HUGE, holy smokes. Also? Elise is one of the most attractive meaty girls I've ever seen, if you all don't mind me appreciating her art.
MagicalPiez
i hope we get an update on the half zero viscosity soon :V
SAH
I have received mine, as have many others. I'm sure yours will arrive soon.
Bitter
I am here for the LENGTH. I trust ya'll to cook. Or you could extend the number of episodes? Move some into the next episode?! I just love everyone's work. :)
OnePotato
Is there any word on the Kevin Plushies???
Deltarno
Keep up the good work, just like the crew is keeping up with their beach bodies.
Kyle E Johnson
It's such a good plushie. I was on the fence about it and I'm so glad I bought it
A Small Dog
Give whoever drew the art for this post a raise! Everyone looks amazing in their beach attire!
Elated Megalodon
I love how this is an actual update post, and 90% of these comments are just about the photo. and that's... completely justified. it's so cute! I wanna shrink all of the goofballs down and put'em in my pocket :3
Kyle E Johnson
Threaten me with a good time
Kyle E Johnson
Seconded. Don't burn yourselves out, please
Misha Tarkus
Are there any audiologs or shorts set during the interim between Episodes 4 and 5?
Scryer
(Bewildered) Far out, mate…
Remus
Just got my Kevin in the Mail and we get a wonderful Beach Photo? Good day to be alive, a strange happening, but a welcome one.
ShazMyBot
NWG is fantastic and now I'm looking at picking up Mage
Matagros
Also, the audio drama excerpt was very fun! I really missed these characters, feels good to hear them interact again.
Matagros
Good catch, always wondered what he looked like. I assumed he was the shit flinger from the wh40k RPG episode, but he seems different here. To be honest, I dig this design a bit more.
Matagros
Had a dream where you guys released a Custodian X Alpha Legion live action romcom series. That was weird. Anyways, you guys ever think about doing live action works besides the end credit stuff? I think it could be a cool project eventually, like getting the voice actors in costumes and just acting some scenes. Also, I've had this question burning in my mind for a few months, and I finally subbed so I could ask it: on the hypothetical Kitten x Void Dragon Paradox-Billiards-Vostroyan-Roulette-Fourth Dimensional-Hypercube-Chess-Strip Poker duel, what would the Void Dragon deck archetype be? I feel like CyberDragon is too easy of an answer, but it also fits amazingly well so idk. Speaking of which, are there any plans for a future card game episode? I mean, H:tP is in the past, but you guys don't seem to use too many modern mechanics so maybe it could work? Or maybe a Magic episode, there could be cute callbacks since Magnus has his own card in there.
Wolfregis
Good update, but is that Krackus with a metal detector in the background?
Trevor Bond
Hey, proof of life is a good thing! Thanks for the update!
DivineRoc
Thanks for the Update. Also, wanted to let you know, the Kevin plushie arrived, and he is funny. Says he has some good stories about Big D.
Daniel Han
Damn, here I thought we were going to to see that Kitten was going to have the body of a buff golden banana man guarding a skeleton on a throne
Warm Hotcakes
Also i straight up thought Occam was Kevin for a second.
Warm Hotcakes
Wait does Markus have a tail in this picture or just really long hair? I didn't remember his hair being that long...
Changed This For Privacy
OK, Kitten is absolutely a werecat. Good to know.
Oliver McKowen
With the quality y'all have been putting out, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's in this for the long haul. Take as much time as you need to put stuff together, it's ALWAYS worth the wait.
Electro_Static
I love wizard Game, the youtube releases look really beautiful!
Mal Masque
I absolutely love this beach photo, it shows so much character for everyone in the Chapter House (I fully believe D put the ice cream on himself rather than being dumped on him). Eagerly looking forward to the future updates.
JeanWorm
Oh excellent! Looking forward to more Mage fun; also thanks for the image showing everyone’s height for reference (like Big D being only 4th biggest)
Alfabusa
No credits included! Just the video itself.
Kyle E Johnson
Oh noooooo, a 45 minute episode. More excellent content from one of the best writing and animation teams on YouTube? Such a tragedy. Not sure how I can recover from this betrayal. 😭 (I'm looking forward to it so much)
Kyle E Johnson
Goddamn that audio log snippet has me INTRIGUED
Kyle E Johnson
Tangent: TLDR: Harry never mentioned cutting, so I think he's focused on strength building, so he's a big healthy boi with a healthy body fat % Long version: Power lifters usually don't have abs because visible abs is almost entirely a function of body fat %, and if you're trying to build muscle beyond the beginner stages of "I never exercised before", you're going to need a calorie surplus, which means your body isn't burning any fat and is maintaining a healthy level. Bodybuilders only get abs when they take a few months to exercise less and starve themselves a little bit, getting weaker on purpose so their muscles pop more because their body fat % went down.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who agrees that y'all should take as much time as y'all need
Retro Doofus
I think I speak for everyone when I say if a chapter ever ends up longer than 2-3 hours it would be awesome of course that's like a full movie and a bit much to expect however super physced for all of these great beach picture is that krakus in the far right in the background? And also have you released an *expected* window for chapter 5? Obviously delays may happen just curious tis all
Scryer
Didn't realise Grimal was that small. Not complaining, the lack of height always works well with gremlins. Also, Harry has the body of a strongman and lovely little parade of plonkers the presumably Blacklaw family members on the right seem to be. Also, three quarters of an hour? Presumably with credits included but not the point, bloody hell mates, should be quite interesting. Honestly just hoping the aforementioned tiny gremlin gets out alright, always loved her.
Graverobber Jake
Grimal has Gengar energy in that pic
Graverobber Jake
God damn Elise is such a BABE
Ryan Madison
Ooh 45 minutes of HtP??? Sweet
PEBZ101
Nice update, big thing's are coming Also who's ice cream is D wearing, was it a personal choice? Could it be blacklaw's ! I just don't see the man getting a ice cream for any other reason than to assault another man.
Gilliam
This is indeed the update of all time
FLCL rox
This beach pic isn't canon cause where is Harry's sixpack. Although he is next to Elise so I wanna say canon just to help bring my ship of theirs ashore
RJ
So the first game of cooperative play for NWG will be on the same schedule, or is that a different schedule?
Gray
Ah, man. Good thing I can be patient. :D Sounds like it'll be worth the wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SomeWierdNinjaPatreon
Wait, anybody noticing Grimal's cap ?
Whitetiger789
Good god that Elise gave me a heart-attack.
Nigel HamCleaver
LETS GOOOO
SirWhorshoeMcGee

Eldar ortell
Do not wish me a cool summer, it has not been hot enught this summer, it needs to be hotter, but good luck anyways
Lennart Winne
So you are saying I get to have a 45 minutes episode and you feel bad about that? Well, I don’t 😁
Hubert Wójcik
Good luck!
