My audio publisher has produced an animated trailer with bit of a PS2 game feel to it. They'll be using it in marketing materials, but if anyone is interested, you can get an early look here before it gets listed and becomes searchable.

I almost thought it was DND playable. I love the Art!!! I wish there was an animated version for the stories. ( Also would love a palamustus TTRPG ) would be a blast to see a essence and random ability roll table.

Mimic

oh neat!

Michael Deleon

Alright that was random as fudge but I dig it.

Undead PettinZoo

Speak of the devil. Hahaha. It's good :)

Definitely wasn't expecting that but I like it. It is a cute little video in a funky art style.

Bit of Naruto running at the end...

Very cool , next step full Netflix show ?

Does this mean animated series coming soon?

Anonymous

Maybe not, just some multi-media marketing. Podium does this with a few series, exfor has one for instance.

Thanks Shirt! Phenomenal Trailer, now i have to relisten to Books 1-3…

Talespinner Lore

Why and how is he summoning lightning?

Shirtaloon

I tried to get the animators to make it more like his actual powers (and did, compared to early versions) but they didn't want to read all the books. My favourite bit is the cloak, which has a real rift-in-space feel.

TerrestrialOverlord

Did they just make him Naruto-run...he's chuuni but not that chuuni

That was fantastic

That could be his finisher that deals transcendant damage ?

Ok, that was pretty awesome

My brain kept expecting Heath to pop in at the end of it with 'G'day mate', but overall it was pretty good, definitely thought the Naruto running was funny.

That was awsome

That animation style is low key amazing! Any chance they could animate some favorite scenes?

Hhhhmmmm 2d platformer like dead cells?

Not gonna lie, that really makes me want a game now, even more than I did before.

Monadologist

Am I the only one that is disappointed that we didn't get to see his chin?

That’s great promotional material. I really don’t like that they did not use the same art style for the cloak, instead opting for realistic space images. I think I space doesn’t even look like that outside from rendert telescope images. I may be wrong there. I also don’t know of a better option.

Avi Singh

Absolutely loved it!!!

I admit that whoever did it put lots of work and on its own it is good but not for this novel. Yeah It is nit-picking so feel free to dismiss the rest. First (and personal) I don't like the attire, purely aesthetical point and it doesn't seem like the description of the book but more like a generalization. Second, the lightning power... either complete bullshit or let's say that it's his finisher that does transcendental damage however he casted it to free space, it looks cool but this ties to 3rd Third, he himself calls him a knife guy and yet he always appears casting magic and fighting from the front. Sure, he uses magic, sure he faces his enemies but either he evades or teleports to not enter a frontal confrontation which is exactly the opposite of what looks in the video. Sorry, for me this is a hard pass, the video looks cool but it doesn't really go well with the novel. I do admit however that the video on its own is good and well made

I don’t know any Aussie that “grills” snags on a charcoal barbie like in that bud, with a fork. Jason would use tongs, and he would know to clang the tongs at least twice before you can use them. Otherwise it’s good stuff. Cheers mate.

Robert Nugent

Hot dogs on the barbie? Heresy.

John Donovan

THOSE ARE SAUSAGES! On a side note I really enjoyed the intro. Being old myself those graphics take me back to when such things were cutting edge around 1998.

Mantiqore

I‘m confused. Wouldn’t it be easy to give specific scenes (in the books) that describe his powers well, to the animators? I can easily understand not wanting to read multiple books, but well described fight scenes from the book should do it, shouldn’t it?

Speaking on games, I've been playing a lot of top-down isometric games lately and think that HWFWM would work perfectly in it, with all the massive spells and abilities that go off.

Will Mill

Really good. Should grab a lot of attention in the LitRPG world. I’m surprised marketing didn’t force you to have the “sexy babe” addition. I bet they tried. One negative comment, the music is unbalanced. For that song and the overall feel of Jason, more bass (driving feel) and less of the guitar (feels off). Good idea bouncing it off us.

I would play that game

Anonymous

Lol. It feels a little silly, which I can appreciate. A bit of that Borderlands vibe going.

Anonymous

Very cool. I dig the sort of cell into the spider verse vibe it has going on

Scott McCarthy

Tue essence system seem likening would be hard to implement fully (how powers tend to flow into each other's like Humphrey's storage was it leading into his summoning). But would make for an amazing game if implemented properly. Though many would not like the random chance.

Sooo chuni

Did Gordon make this?

Nematrec

terrible depiction of Jason. His chin isn't pointy enough

Dig Bickens

Yoooo that's so good! Can we get a full season of that?

Anonymous

I would not be apposed to a animated series a few years from now. Maybe a kickstarter?

Anonymous

animated series of HWFWM would be the best!!!

JewBot9000

I agree with everyone who has said an Animated Show would be a good thing. I would support this kickstarter

Anonymous

Looked neat, but where are the daggers? He looks like generic caster-bro.

Anonymous

I agree with the others “well done!” It does have the feel of Jason 👍🏻

Doodlyboy15

I agree, the moving artwork is nice but you gotta be careful that it doesn't give people an incorrect idea about jason's skillset and stuff.

PaigeFault

Nice. That was excellent

Anonymous

Love it!

Anonymous

Love it Shirt! Cool to see Jason in a different medium! Keep up all your fantastic work man!

Anonymous

That was awesome!

Scott McCarthy

No, that is another part the animator kind of diverged too much on, Jason does not dress with a mask like a generic fantasy assassin.

Scott McCarthy

There are to many things/pieces that make it feel to me like the animator just wanted to do their own thing with the loosest of outlines of the story, something feel off in pretty much every scene, the hydra does not feel like it matches either of the 2 Jason fought, even the image of greenstone feels off.

Anonymous

Pretty good! But needed more images of friends shaking their heads in horror :)

Z.W.Heald

Awesome f***ing awesomeness

Zpeed3

The cape image unfortunately makes me think of the “No Capes” scene from the Incredibles…. https://youtu.be/E6SymBZL_vg

NO PANTS!!!

Shannon Bryce

He's wearing flip flops though. :(

Anonymous

Mind if we share it at all? Or wait on that until the marketing team goes public with it?

Shirtaloon

You can share it AFTER 12am PST, i.e. midnight Thursday morning in the US west coast.

Erik Bekke

So when can I play this game? Lol

Artman

Odd, tells me it’s private. Am I missing something?

Anonymous

Might be my fault scaring the marketing team :). He did say it was a sneak leak. Might try again in a hour and a quarter form now based on what he said.

Jemini

Fits the mood and all, but I think the no pants scene needed to clarify the fact it was Jason a little more. As it is, it really isn't clear the barbecue guy was the same as the ninja with starry cape guy.

Andre A

Just AWESOME dude! Loved it! But the no pants and sausage thing will prevent me from showing to my daughters lol....

I want a tv series or movie. Animated series would be fine but this book series deserves a bigger audience. Just saying

Hopperz_Strikers

Looks like a fun vr game oh wait it’s for a book still lit trailer 😅
