Poring through SA's website on projects they've funded, looks like GP managed to entirely self-fund or get external investors on to produce Murder Drones by themselves. Just Meta Runner and Sunset Paradise have AU government funding.

Witness the end result of $200-$300K USD worth of animation budget.
S'alright.

Hadn't yet actually seen any of the show before this. If they actually had almost 300k to make this I don't see exactly where the money went. It's got some charm but it's the kind of charm that a nearly no budget show produced by a solo talented animator has. I'm also just put off by the plot being like some high school murder anime with all of the 'comedy' you'd expect from a western show made by people that think twitter comedy is just the most hilarious. It's not the worst thing to have gotten success but it seems painfully average.

An entire animation studio company that only exists because people start waifuing their default model inkling OC, great.

Felt something off about this series having a weird clown OC as the main character, probably a self insert for this troon.

Eh, so long as the fetish stuff doesn’t get heavily focused on or pushed, I don’t care who made it. It was a pretty enjoyable first episode.

I don't care, so far its the coolest thing since Hazbin. If he can avoid sperging out it'll be fine.

Trust me, buddy. They've already begun with it in Q&A posts and other media talking about it.

I mean in the show itself. I don’t care what’s said outside of it.

The whole situation around TADC is fascinating to me for a multitude of reasons.
To start, for the past 7-8 years, western animation has pretty much been dominated by the far-left/Tumblr/TDS crowd. It's gotten to a point where you really can't pull up a new major show and not have to worry about some sort of political message, or demigender people with pink-tinted shaven hair in it. It's unbelievable just how bad things have gotten since Steven Universe blew up. And in a way, the situation with animation we have today is the natural result of all of that. Thanks to a huge host of shows failing to do the numbers or make the cultural impact that Adventure Time, Regular Show, or Gravity Falls did a decade ago, we are now seeing animation either kicked to the curb, or locked into a circumstance where the only things getting greenlit are either baby/pre-k-aimed shows or reboots. Kevin and Nick actually discuss this in one of their update videos.
To make matters worse, the streaming wars are now at a point where the platforms themselves and some of the companies that own them are in the process of imploding. WBD has been going hard on layoffs and cost-cutting ever since Zaslav took over, with Cartoon Network and Rooster Teeth being hit especially hard. Just recently, CN Studios was consolidated into WB's animation division, with staff being forced to move out of the office where most of CN's biggest hits were made. Meanwhile Disney has been bleeding money as Daddy Iger keeps doubling down on dumb business move after dumb business move while having to contend with needing to pay for an over 20 billion dollar purchase of Hulu. It's gotten so bad for them that Nelson Peltz has to step in, potentially to purge the entire company's board. If not, there's a good chance Iger's gonna stick with the company until 2032.
We're at a point now where even Hazbin Hotel is looking it's not gonna live up to all the hype it built up since before the pilot premiered, and it's gonna get dumped on Amazon and make as much of an impact as a wet fart. After doing research on Glitch Productions, they seem to have built a sizable following with their original shows, despite their flaws. AFAIK, the two original shows they're in the process of working on (Murder Drones and TADC) actually try to veer more towards telling a compelling story instead of trying to be reflection of [CURRENT YEAR] or shoehorn a political message. TADC is an especially interesting case, since that show was created by a troon. When I saw that pilot, it actually clicked with me. I was shocked. I've been burned so many times on western animation in the past, that having a show that almost gives me the same sense of mystery as Gravity Falls with no sign of any [current year] shoehorning almost feels too good to be true.
I want this show to be good. I want to feel confident that this show won't eventually go the way of Steven Universe, or any other [current year] animated show made since after Orange Man got elected. The positive response to the pilot has actually been refreshing to see across the board. Even people on this very site liked it. It actually reminds me of the "Iron Age" that Razorfist has been discussing in some of his videos: an age where independent media can rise without needing to be beholden to ESG, corporate oversight, or Twitter's whims. Even then, Kevin and Luke pulled the "make 'em gay at the last second" card at the end of Meta Runners, so there is precedent for things to go south. I don't really know how else to convey how conflicted I feel on the whole matter. It's one of those situations where you don't know whether or not this will finally be "the one."
It almost feels like a mirror to the overall setup for the show itself, Pomni's trapped in clown world, either trying to tell herself it's all just a dream, or slowly beginning to lose sanity over the idea that the whole situation will last an eternity. That's how I feel about the current state of western animation and if not this show, I really do hope that someone else is able to make something good.

Given they're taking government grant money from taxpayers, and the said governments providing the grants are Labor ones, I wouldn't be surprised if there's certain ideological or demographic strings attached.

I will say its impressive that every single one of the characters is likeable and funny. I can't really choose a favorite, and not even Hazbin could do that. I hope that for the sake of all that is good that this one is the one that is just fun, without bullshit attached.

I only got around to watch it yesterday and thought it was surprisingly good.
Maybe leaned a bit too hard on loud or random humor but I get that you want to make an impression when its the pilot and the characters are entertainers in a circus I guess.
I always had a liking for shows with continuity that can also just be fun so I'm curious where this is going.
