Here we go, ladies and gents. Another Leet World Season 3 screenshot. This one is actually from Episode 2, and shows a gathering of more than one character you might recognize. One of them is a sassypants, and the other loves burros.
Things are still progressing, although a bit slowly at the moment since my wife and I (hi, Diane) just had our second little girl and Daniel is off in Japan having samurai sword fights. We hope to have a bit of a teaser ready for you guys in the near future, where you can actually see some of these guys both walking and/or talking. Maybe even both at the same time!
Our new Leet World VLOG is here to provide a super informative and detailed look at our work flow. Granted, we had to take some liberties with the actual process, but we’re sure you’ll forgive us. We’d hate to spoil any of the show, obviously.
In the newest edition of the TLW VLOG, we give a little preview of how we’re utilizing motion capture in season 3 of Leet World. While most of what we’re doing amounts to the homiest of home brews, we also had the opportunity to travel to Austin recently to work on a fight scene that happens early on in the season.
No doubt many of you have heard by now that one of Rooster Teeth’s staff, Monty Oum, passed away last week. Monty was the creator of RWBY, one of the heads of Rooster Teeth’s animation department, and an all around great human being, without whom we wouldn’t have been able to complete our motion capture when we visited in December. He took time out of his Saturday to make sure that we had everything we needed, and constantly came in to help us troubleshoot any issues we were having. It was a very kind gesture for someone who had no stake in our project whatsoever.
While I didn’t know Monty well, I’ve worked on a couple of things here and there with him throughout my time of contract writing for Rooster Teeth. I’ve always been amazed at his drive, his creativity and the way his mind worked. One of the highlights of my life was seeing my words brought to life with Monty’s animation in season 10 of Red Vs. Blue. It was a special memory that is only possible because of the many gifts he gave his fans and viewers.
Rest in peace, Monty. Thanks for pouring yourself into your work.
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a screenshot of an upcoming episode of The Leet World. We’ve been keeping mum on the show as much as we can since it’s still quite a ways out, but we’re starting to hit that point where we can give you guys a few glimpses and teases. Part of that is due to the nature of working in a new medium — we’re still trying to work out some of the kinks of Source Filmmaker. And part of that is we want to do as much as we can to make the show still feel like Leet World even though the characters are capable of new things, like karate chops.
Speaking of. Episode 1’s got a few familiar faces in it, and Leeroy just happens to be one of them. He’s mighty concerned about something.
We’ve got a new VLOG up for you guys to enjoy. Here’s Nick recording some Chet lines for Season 3 of The Leet World.
It’s been so long since we’ve used these voices, you can tell that it takes a bit of time to work into that Chet groove. We’ve said it before, but we really can’t wait for you guys to see some of this stuff coming together. Stay tuned for more.
We’ve recently hit a very small milestone in terms of Season 3 production. Daniel and Nick are on the scene to tell you a little bit more about it. Maybe you’ll see a familiar nerd in the background, too.
One of our favorite things over the years has been seeing when people create something inspired by Leet World. YouTube user DoorCloser just sent us his own take on a Season 3 teaser just yesterday, and we love it.
This season, we’d love to showcase fan art however we can. Send moar plz.
Hey guys, just dropping a quick vlog update to let you guys know that we are still very much hard at work. Now that it’s 2015, you can expect a lot more updates coming fast and furious style.
Stay tuned, friends. Keep spreading the word about the return of The Leet World.
Happy holidays, everyone. We hope today finds you full of nog, food, cheer and whatever else it is that you like to put in your body. We put together a Leet World holiday message for all of you as a special present.
For us, it has been a pleasure to be making things for you all again in 2014. Let’s make 2015 even better.
We have been quiet as of late as we are full steam ahead on Leet World Season 3. I’m sure that sentence is just as weird for you to read as it is for me to write. Still getting used to that.
Right now, the team is plugging away at Episode 1 of Season 3. We’ve been in official production for the last few weeks — building sets, creating models, blocking scenes — that kind of thing. We’ve even added some great new talent to the project, thanks to our amazing community taking up arms and responding to our call for Source wizards.
Once 2015 hits, expect a roll-out of updates and regular progress reports. We will be showing you all something from the season very soon.
But for now, here’s an official poster for the season, with the first tantalizing hint of what’s to come.
