Dear Patron,
It's been an exciting August, with the release of both the Hundred Days Episode 2 and Alexander's Opis Mutiny Speech Remastered. But while summer may be drawing to an end (here at least), production is ramping up! Here's the lowdown on everything we're working on, including another project reveal...
Production Updates
The Medway Raid
We're deep into our animation work on the next Patreon release, which will see Dutch ships carry out a stunning strike against the heart of the English sea power. Here are a few peeks at our latest work.
Hundred Days: Waterloo
Production on the next chapter of our Hundred Days series is also underway. This one is dedicated to one iconic battle, the climax of the Napoleonic Wars... Waterloo. You already had a glimpse of the battlefield at the end of our latest episode. Here are a few more shots.
Later this autumn you can also expect more WW2 action, with the releases of WW2: 1940 (Part 1) and ULTRA Episode 3, as well as our complete Life of Nelson!
... and finally...
First Crusade Reboot
Many of our you will be familiar with our First Crusade documentary - a dramatic account of how knights from Western Europe hacked their way to Jerusalem in a brutal three-year campaign. Although we're very proud of this video, our visual techniques and resources have improved in the 9 years since it was made - so we decided to give it a make-over !
Now, working with talented animator Rob Nield, we're rebuilding the entire video with new maps and graphics. Expect this one around December 2026. A few sneak peeks...
Alexander Speech 'Behind the Scenes'
Want to find out how Martin Klekner made our remastered Alexander the Great video? Martin's made a brilliant 'Behind the Scenes' documentary, explaining his painstaking research process and design decisions, and introducing you to some historical characters you might not have noticed the first time around.
