I didn't knew it but I try to support independent animation so I'll probably donate.

Glad to hear it. Since it doesn't seem like a lot of people know about it I'll just share some info off the kickstarter.

>Tales of Alethrion is a non dialogue fantasy webseries based around the universe in The Lands of Alethrion. The series follows a short film format of mostly standalone episodes.
>Right now there are two episodes out, two upcoming episodes that have been funded, and 8 more planned episodes that still need funding.
>The first film, "The Reward" is a short film that was created by students of the Danish animation school The Animation Workshop as their bachelor project.
>They have a voting system in place so that the backers get to choose what episode they'll work on next.

>The first of the already funded upcoming episodes will be a sequel to this. It deals with the once legendary hero Alethrion confronting his own greed as his former lover Amerath travels the land to become a fair heroine of justice.

>The second already funded episode will be be the continuation of Wilhelm and Vito's tale from the first episode, "The Reward".

Now for some of the as of yet unfunded episodes. There's not set release order for these, as they could possibly change due to the voting system the group has implemented.

>Mik is feminine and brave where Ken is sneaky and curious. They are dreaming of power and have received Alethrion´s map from Vito and Wilhelm... maybe they will discover the dark secret behind the mirror.

And that's it for the planned episodes. If you liked the first two episodes or you're interested in the characters, they have short videos providing character introductions/overviews for everyone I've mentioned here on the Kickstarter.

I actually think this has a good chance of being funded, although not anytime soon. But it's obvious the creative team isn't in any kind of rush.

The series is episodic so it's not like the project would be considered a failure if they didn't get every one of the planned episodes funded, technically they've already succeeded and each stretch goal is just another extra episode.

Plus the webisode format of releasing the episodes once they're completed seems to be doing a lot in terms of publicity.

>>90055092
This is ridiculous.

A thing like this should have been backed by major channels.

>>90055092
I love what they have constructed so far. The storytelling+animation and the world building are right up my alley. I am deeply sadden by the fact that the next two episodes don't explore new characters, but that's what happens when you give your fandom vote in the creative process.

I dislike the character design

What the fuck is going on here?

>$161,943 pledged of $80,000 goal
It was funded.

Am I missing something?

Really glad some of you like it. I think it's pretty mind boggling how something of this quality is going under the radar, although the fan base it has seems pretty dedicated.

While I would also like to see some of the new characters, and voted as such, at least we're getting two new episodes with this latest kickstarter.

I think it's safe to say the next one should easily be able to get another two or even three episodes funded although I'm sure that's a ways off. Although it's not completed yet, you can expect a comic starring The Thugs from the first episode sometime before episode 3.

There's a preview available here: http://alethrion.com/comics/

Sorry to hear that. To be honest I wasn't thrilled with the character design in just the first episode either, but the setting pulled me in and the leap in quality from episode 1(which was a student project) to episode 2(their first funded episode) really impressed me.

I should have been more specific, although I think I explained it a little better below that.

By not anytime soon I meant they're not getting the 640K they need for the remaining 8 planned episodes anytime soon, but I think they have a good shot at getting it over the next couple of years through a couple more kickstarters. It took awhile for the series to get noticed but it feels like it's finally picking up steam with this latest kickstarter.

Technically if each kickstarter gets 80K(enough to fund one episode) then it's a success, and any additional funds just mean bonus episodes.

Sure but it's all just stuff I randomly grabbed online so the overall quality varies.

To be honest I expected more people on /co/ to have seen this. When I get some free time I'll make a bunch of high quality webms and the next time they do an update I'll make another thread like this and post them.

For now I'll just post whatever odds and ends I have.

Anyways I think that's all I've got for now. Once I get the time to make a batch of high quality webms I'll make another thread to see if anyone's interested.

Hopefully some of you liked it. I really feel this series has a lot of potential and isn't getting the attention it deserves.
