Developers’ Diary – January 20th, 2010

First off, we apologize for the lack of updates over the holidays and into the new year. It's been a crazy time for all of us and we've been focused on finishing off a variety of side projects. Work is still continuing on the second episode, and we hope to bang it off fairly quickly.

In the meantime, we have decided to introduce a short webcomic series. Hopefully these will be far quicker to produce, thus allowing frequent updates. Check out the first comic here.

Our holiday webcomic is now live. Check it out under the comics tab or click here Issue #1 - Twiblight. And if you happen to be a Twilight fanatic who is offended, please punch yourself in the face. I seriously hate you.

First of all, as you may have noticed from the new header, it is that time of year yet again and even Hitler has gotten into the spirit.

Remember folks, letter-bombs are not in keeping with holiday tradition. Instead consider having your cousin-in-law kidnap your jackass boss or possibly shooting your eye out with a BB gun.

Happy Holidays from all of us at The Jesus & Hitler Comedy Hour.

Secondly, based on viewer feedback we have made some alterations to Episode 1. Episode 1 Redux is posted below. Check it out and let us know how you like it.

While you are waiting with baited breath for Episode 1 of the show, we thought we'd give you a little preview of the cover for Issue 01 of the webcomic. Introducing for the very first time: Rabbi Mavet!

Official Episode 1 Release Date - November 27th

That's right folks, the long awaited release date is imminent. We have finished Episode 1 and we are currently making preparations for its release next Friday. The plan is to follow it up with episodes on a fairly regular basis, with web comics in-between. Come on back next Friday and enjoy the show.

At the moment we are getting geared up for C4, taking place this weekend @ the Winnipeg Convention Center. The swag is being bundled as we speak, and it looks awesome. Everyone on staff has made sure to raid the merchandise for their own collection, so if we run out and you are left out in the cold, at least you know who to blame.

Production of the first episode has hit a slight speed bump, as we have switched from a simple mouth animation to a phoneme based one. Hopefully this won't put us too far behind schedule, but the end product will look far superior.

In site news, the info tab has two new additions. The Facebook page will keep you up to date on our online community, with links to both the fan club and the developers' personal page. The Downloads page will eventually be a repository for all of your equal parts free and offensive needs. At the moment we have two versions of wallpapers available to you, in a wide variety of resolutions. If you need a resolution not listed, email us and we will see what we can do. Now you can tell your wife you only had porn on the screen in order to hide this horribly offensive desktop wallpaper. She might even believe you! But only if she is a dumbass. So it's probably 50/50.

Developers’ Diary – October 27th, 2009

We've been slacking off on the updates lately. Mostly because we are lazy. Well actually because we've been feverishly working to finish off the first episode, but the first excuse sounds far less responsible. We started laying down audio last week, and currently we are working on lip-synching Episode 1. We know it has taken awhile, but hang tight. It's coming, and it's awesome.

On another note, here is the part where we harass you for money. Listen, don't make us cut you. Truthfully, the deal is this. This project, as great as it has been, has also been very expensive in regards to both time and money. It has evolved into a full time job for some of us, and so far the money has only been flowing out. In an attempt to remedy this we have taken two steps.

First of all we have added ad space to the site. You have probably noticed that the ads are small and hopefully not overpowering anything. We did that purposefully. We don't like annoying ads any more than you do, so rest easy that this site will never be covered in a sea of ads that you need to wade through in order to access content. We'll keep them as concise and out of the way as we can.

Secondly, to the right you will notice a new donate button. Our goal is to keep as much of this site and the content as free as possible. One way we can succeed in that is through the generosity of those who are happy to support a product they derive enjoyment from. So if you love the show and you are looking for a way to help us out, consider clicking the button and throwing a little cash our way. Whatever amount you are comfortable with. Every penny we earn will go towards keeping this site running and new episodes being delivered to your computer.

The Jesus & Hitler Comedy Hour now has an official fan club on everyone's favorite cesspool of narcissism. That's right, Facebook. The badge below will take you straight to the group.

 

Developers’ Diary – October 16th, 2009

The greatest intro in the history of mankind has been moved under the Videos tab.

Oh no, extra effort! But seriously, it's awesome. Go watch it.

Developers’ Diary – October 15th, 2009

Just some general updates from your dev team today.

1) The first issue of our promotional comic has been posted in the Comics section. This special issue #0 was created as part of a limited edition swag package that the creators will be giving away during their unofficial visit to the Central Canada Comic Con on Sunday, November 1st.

2) The Red Hat Blue Pants Online Store is now up and fully functional. The storefront is available from the Shop tab and a selection of merchandise is displayed in the sidebar. Here’s your chance to support the show and look stylish doing it.

3) The Info tab has been updated with contact information. Now you can tell us how much you love the show, or how you hate us with the burning passion of a thousand suns. Either way, feel free to drop us a line so we can subsequently publicly mock you. And then you will cry.

From humble beginnings...

 

Original Hitler Concept Sketch & Original Pimp Jesus Concept Sketch

Notice how initially Hitler looked far too much like a scared little German schoolboy, while Jesus had exposed ears. It took us a few days to realize how greatly his exposed ears altered the feel of the character. When compared to the finalized designs there is a massive improvement to both characters.

Developers' Diary - October 12th, 2009

Ok, for everyone out there reading this, two things should be immediately obvious.

1) Some kind of idiot half-assed the development of this site, making it live long before it is completed.
2) This may be the greatest show of all time.

We wholeheartedly agree on both counts.

Unfortunately we don't currently have a web-developer on staff, and thus the site will be a continual work in progress as we blunder our way through the development. Nothing works beyond the main page at the moment, but that will be fixed in the near future. How near depends on a combination of very complicated factors, mainly our ineptitude multiplied by our vast ability to procrastinate.

Now I know you are all crying into your Cheerios right now, deeply disturbed by the lack of content currently available. But don't despair just yet. Rolling out alongside the site improvements will be sometimes witty, sometimes unsettling insights into the development of what may very well be the most offensive project ever created. It's hard even for us to believe, but we are in month #6 of development, and it has come a long way from a possibly psychotic sketch of an absurdly unlikely duo that necessitated the leaving of a huge tip at the bar where we were loudly discussing ideas (apparently some wait staff find the subject distasteful).

So for now we'll leave you with the promise of much more to come. The updates probably won't come as fast as you'd like, but genius can't be rushed (well, it's more likely because we are on the run from an angry mob, but that's basically the same thing).
