WORLD LEADER
Food supplies are gone.
Plants won’t grow. Soil’s gone bad.
Natural disasters have ravaged the earth.
All the animals were eaten.
But I have a plan to save everyone. And through
our top scientists, and with your cooperation.
We can make it happen to save all two trillion
of us! So please. Listen carefully for the next
announcement. Cause it can save your lives.
And mine. This is your great world leader. And may God Bless the world.

WORLD LEADER
This is an official World Leader order.
A temporary stay at home order is in full effect. Please remain calm and
indoors for everyone’s safety.
Your cooperation allows our forces to sort out the criminals interfering with our
efforts to save everyone through the TPI order. You will be rewarded greatly.
We guarantee it!
Stay indoors, do not leave your homes if you wish to survive.
And may God Bless… The World.

WORLD LEADER
I have some bad news, and some good news for the world
today.

The bad news is, we have not been able to stop overpopulation,
and human beings have exceeded into the trillions. Our limited
crops can no longer sustain all of us, and so we are down to
the final days of rations.

The good news is, we will prevent starvation through breakthrough
science. Today we begin the TPI order, or Tomb Preservation
Initiative. All non-essential people will be required to participate
in this great answer to world hunger, and you will be doing yourselves
and the world, a great favor by cooperating.

But have no fear, each TPI not only includes recycling of liquid food,
but also an endless charge station for your cell phones. Yes. So you can
be rest assured continual access to your favorite social media sites,
channels and more, 24/7 while you rest comfortably and safely inside
your TPI for the remainder of your lives. Every non-essential person
will live comfortably with their cell phones and a constant food and
moisture supply.

At this time, every non-essential person is required to step into their
TPI. I repeat, every non-essential person is
required to step into their TPI at this time now.
Those who do not wish to participate will be executed for treason.
Thankfully the majority have voted in favor of the TPI order, and
entering your TPI, you will be lowered into the vaults, where a constant
55 degrees temperature will keep your TPIs stable for the remainder of
your lives. We guarantee it.

So step into your new homes, spare yourselves of starvation and hunger,
and enjoy the future of human kind, thanks to the TPI, Tomb Preservation
Initiative Order. I will watch over you all to ensure your safety, security,
and preservation.

If there are any questions, please text them after you’re inside your TPIs.
They are permanently sealed, so be sure to text them after you’re inside.
Thank you all. And God Bless the World.

WORLD LEADER
This is your World Leader speaking. At this time. All non-essential people must be
residing in their new TPIs, as part of the Tomb Preservation Initiative Order. I can assure you, that if I was not an essential person, I would absolutely love and embrace my new TPI home, with the constant comfort that my loved ones were an instant tap of my cell phone away, along with all of my favorite programs and social media sites.
This is not a curse, but a blessing. And with the recycling of waste, with added minerals for liquid food, you can last an entire lifetime inside of your TPI. You are all lucky indeed.

We are currently in the process of locating your active beacon TPIs, and lowering them into the underground vaults to prevent temperature fluctuations, ensuring your continual safety. And rest assured, We know exactly who has not entered their mandatory TPIs, and they will be executed through lethal methods, for their treason against the TPI Order.

And to all of those non-essentials who have cooperated, I promise all of your most important questions will be answered next time. Until then, this is your World Leader, watching over each and every one of you. Thank you, and good night.

WORLD LEADER

And rest assured, We know exactly who has not entered their mandatory TPIs, and they will be executed through lethal methods, for their treason against the TPI Order.

REGNANT
Get lost.
Nobody tells me how to survive.
Just try to break in. See what happens.

TROOP
Look at all this bloody food this guy has.
Keeping it all for yourself, huh?
Show yourself, you greedy
coward. We just want to talk.

REGNANT
Talk to this.

REGNANT
Tell me where the World Leader is, or you’re dead.

TROOP
Please, nobody knows where the World Leader is. He reports
from a secret location. That’s all I know!

REGNANT
Then give me the address of your Troop headquarters,
and I’ll leave you alone.

TROOP
Promise?

REGNANT
Yeah, I promise.

TROOP
The base is five miles north, first on Undercrescent Ave.
But he’s not there.

REGNANT
Sounds good, now get in this TPI Tomb or die.

TROOP
Please, you promised! I got a family!

REGNANT
So do 2 trillion other starving people. Now get in there,
and I’ll leave you alone, as promised!

TROOP
Please, for God’s sake, don’t do this!

REGNANT
Relax, it’s got an endless cell phone charge and recycles waste
for nutrition. Have a nice life!

TROOP
Nooo!!!!

LEADER
At this time, I would like to address several important questions I have received, regarding the trillions now safely locked permanently inside of your Comfort Tombs.

The first question is from a pregnant mother about to give birth to a baby. She asks,
will her baby be able to grow strong and healthy and fit two people comfortably inside of her TPI Tomb? My top scientist has good news, and said that as long as you only have one baby, both of you can survive for a lifetime, although it’ll be a tight fit understandably inside your permanently sealed TPI Tomb.

The second question asks, what if they need medical assistance? The good news is, you have twenty four seven access to social media videos, ensuring there is a do-it-yourself remedy on there to help you out. Please do a search and I’m sure you’ll find an answer.

Third question, what happens to all of our pets? Well, I believe we all know what
happened to all of the pets when two trillion people are starving.

Next question. Why aren’t you, our World Leader, inside of a Tomb Preservation Casket like the rest of us? Good question. I’m considered an
essential person, critical in making decisions for all of you non-essentially designated
people who would be starving if not for my crucial decision making skills and wisdom. And that’s all there is to say about that, don’t you dare question me again!

And the final question, is from a woman who lives in a hot, tropical zone and it’s scorching hot inside of her TPI. Will we be able to get to her first, to place her inside the constant fifty five degree underground storage facility? Mam, the good news is we’re working hard to preserve all two trillion non-essential people inside of their life saving TPI Tombs, so please continue to be patient and we’ll be there sooner than you know. We want everyone cool and comfortable, we assure you.

And that is all for today. Please continue to send your questions, and I promise, we’ll answer each and every one that we think is important. And as a reminder, anyone foolish
enough not to seal themselves inside their TPI tombs, will be hunted down and eliminated by official Tomb Patrol Troopers. We guarantee it. Until next time, this is your World Leader, saying God Bless the World.

TROOPER
Excuse me, World Leader. I have the latest update on the
Tomb Preservation Initiative Order.

LEADER
Well spit it out, I’m busy here!

TROOPER
We have a few defiant survivors out there who are killing our
Troopers.

LEADER
As expected.
Send out more Troopers till they’re eliminated.
What else?

TROOPER
Due to limited forces, we only have about one billion
transferred to the underground
vaults of the two trillion people in TPI Tombs.

LEADER
And how long will it take to get everyone underground?

TROOPER
I’m afraid we don’t have enough space. At most,
we could fit one billion, but after that, no more room.

LEADER
One billion sounds like enough to me.

TROOPER
But what about your promise to get everyone inside the vaults?

LEADER
They’ll understand. One billion is plenty.

TROOPER
I’m sorry? Plenty for what?

LEADER
Do you have a problem with my authority,
Trooper?

TROOPER
No sir.

LEADER
Good. Because I’d hate to see you inside
a TPI Tomb.

TROOPER
No sir, whatever you say sir.

LEADER
That’s better. Start the vault freezing process.

TROOPER
Freezing process? I’m sorry, why would you need to
freeze one billion people?

LEADER
To keep them extra cool of course.

TROOPER
Of course, good idea sir. I’ll start
the freezing process right away.
What should we do with the rest?

LEADER
I’ll talk to them shortly with the bad news.
You’re dismissed.

TROOPER
Thank you World Leader!

LEADER
Now where were we ladies?

REGNANT
Tell me where the World Leader is hiding,
or you’re dead. I guarantee it.

TROOPER
His location is considered top priority only.

REGNANT
Well if you think you’re low priority, then
I don’t need you, do I?

TROOPER
Okay, okay! I’ll override the security clearance
code to reveal his location.

(typing sounds)

REGNANT
Well?

TROOPER
What do you plan to do when you find him?

REGNANT
Just want to have a talk with him, get the rest of
you goons off my case. Nothing more.

TROOPER
Okay, he’s located at these coordinates.

REGNANT
Damn, that’s halfway across the world. You got a pilot
around here?

TROOPER
No sir.

REGNANT
Okay, thanks for your help. Now get inside that TPI Tomb.

TROOPER
Please, don’t, it’s a death trap.

REGNANT
A death trap, huh? I guess you’ll have to test it
out then. Make sure it works before your world leader
decided to stick two trillion of us inside these death traps.

TROOPER
Please, don’t do this. The recycled waste only lasts a few
weeks before it dries up. It’s a death trap!

REGNANT
If it gets too hot in there, just let your
World Leader know. He’ll help you out.

WORLD LEADER
We all know drastic times call for drastic measures.
When 2 trillion humans ran out of food, your world leader
found a way to help make mankind survive comfortably.
Thank you all non-essentials for your obedience and submission
to the TPI Tomb Preservation Initiative Order. We could not
do this without you. I guarantee it.

At this time, we are starting the cooling process for one billion
lucky TPI Tomb recipients stored in our underground vaults for
preservation. You may experience extreme freezing temperatures
temporarily, but my top scientists assure me that it will not
be harmful to the tissue, due to the efficiency of the flash
freezing process to keep everyone cool.

If for any reason you find the cooling process unbearably uncomfortable,
please send my social media team a comment,
and we will look into it within the next
few months or so, if we can.

And for those one point nine trillion non-essentials on the surface
awaiting to be transported to underground vaults, we
will do our best with limited resources, to build new
underground vaults, when time permits. We guarantee it.

And until next time, God Bless the world…

Now where the hell is my steak dinner?! I’m hungry dammit!
I want my food now! Someone’s gonna get tossed into a TPI
Tomb if I don’t see my meal here in five seconds!

What?
I’m still on the air? Damn. Sorry about that folks. Just a
technical issue, nothing to worry about. Good night now.

REGNANT
Walk to the ship.

REGNANT
Can you fly this ship?

RED PILOT
I rather not say.

REGNANT
Do you want to die?

RED PILOT
Yes, I can pilot the ship.

REGNANT
Good, here are the coordinates.
Now get in there and let’s go!

SOLDIER
You’re in an unauthorized landing zone, sir.

RED PILOT REGNANT
(SOUNDS LIKE REGNANT)
Watch who you give commands to, soldier.
I have an emergency warning for our World Leader.

SOLDIER
Forgive me, sir. Just following protocol.

RED PILOT REGNANT
Lead me to the World Leader’s quarters immediately.

SOLDIER
Yes sir, this way sir.

WORLD LEADER
This is your World Leader, with a very important message for all two trillion non-essentials inside of
your individual TPI tombs, under my TPI Tomb Preservation Initiative Order.

As you all know in these recent, trying times, world food and resources have been gravely depleted due to
the uncontrolled overpopulation of two trillion non-essential people. Because of that, we have run out of the needed power to build more underground storage vaults that would ensure your TPI Tombs remain at a stable temperature.

Thankfully, we have been able to transport one billion random non-essentials into the existing vaults. However, for the remaining one point nine trillion of you, please remain calm, and know that we may get to you as soon as possible. Because of limited supplies, we cannot give a firm
estimate date of when the remaining vaults will be completed, if at all. At this time, all future vault construction has been temporarily placed on hold indefinitely. (show a shovel with one small pile of dirt)

And finally, for those lucky enough to be in a vault at this time, we have been experiencing a
temporary technical difficulty with our temperature thermostat control system. For that reason,
you may experience extreme temperature drops that could be lethal, but my scientists assure me
that rapid flash freezing is nothing that will spoil the contents, but
preserve you for consumption at a later time.

So thank you all for involunteering
your bodies to science. We intend to preserve one billion non-essentials for future generations as we rebuild
humanity on this great planet Earth. It is with a heavy heart, that I, your World Leader,
send you a final farewell. The freezing process has already begun, and may you all rest in peace.

And for those still on the surface, know that your recycled liquid food supplies will deplete within
the next couple of weeks or so. Originally, it was believed they would last a life time, but our estimates were incorrect. We apologize.

I’m informing you now, this way you all have time to console each other through
social media sites, and prepare yourselves for the inevitable doom.

Finally, It is only with your faith and unquestioning cooperation,
that we were able to secure all of your weapons, and enforce the TPI Tomb Preservation
Initiative Order. Thank you all, for your great sacrifice to make this world a better place, by giving
your very lives for this great cause that I have cleverly constructed with my top scientists.

And so I say goodbye now. May all of you non-essentials, rest in your TPI Tombs comfortably until the end. Thank you for kindly cooperating with your leadership. Know that your safety and security have always been my top priority. We guarantee it!

And in case you’re wondering, I intend to rebuild humanity with a new family of my own, thanks to you all.
We will grow for generations on our new frozen food source, and rebuild this great earth with newfound moderation, not the uncontrolled excess that humanity has been known for.

This is your great World Leader, saying Thank you. And God bless you all.

SOLDIER
The World Leader’s chamber, sir.

RED PILOT REGNANT
Good. You’re dismissed.

RED SOLDIER
No one is authorized to enter without the World Leader’s approval.
Do you have a VCI?

RED PILOT REGNANT
Do I have what?

RED SOLDIER
The World Leader’s VCI, Verification Command Imprint?

RED PILOT REGNANT
I’m here with a critical warning for the World Leader.

WORLD LEADER INTERCOM
Where’s my dinner dammit? I’m tired of waiting!

RED SOLDIER
Forgive me World Leader, I’ll go see what the Cook is up to right away.

WORLD LEADER INTERCOM
And bring my dessert while you’re at it!

RED SOLDIER
Right away sir!
(to RED PILOT REGNANT)
Watch my post.

WORLD LEADER INTERCOM
What are you doing there, Pilot?

RED PILOT REGNANT
Forgive me World Leader, I have an urgent alert about that rebel giving us
trouble.

WORLD LEADER INTERCOM
Well spit it out already! And it better be that you have his corpse!

RED PILOT REGNANT
Yes sir.

WORLD LEADER INTERCOM
So he’s dead then?

RED PILOT REGNANT
Yes sir, but he has a new army preparing to fight back.

WORLD LEADER INTERCOM
Fight back with what? We took all their weapons years ago.

RED PILOT REGNANT
And he took some of them back. Including missile launchers.

WORLD LEADER INTERCOM
Then form a new squad to dispose of them!

RED PILOT REGNANT
Yes sir. May I have your personal verification command imprint?

WORLD LEADER INTERCOM
Not right now, I’m about to eat.

RED PILOT REGNANT
Forgive me World Leader, but they’re on their way here.

WORLD LEADER INTERCOM
My location is top secret. They won’t find me. Unless you told them.

RED PILOT REGNANT
No sir. Enjoy your meal sir.

WORLD LEADER INTERCOM
It’s about time!

WORLD LEADER
Now if that ain’t the best damn leg I ever tasted!

SOLDIER
And there are two billion more legs in the freezer, sir.

WORLD LEADER
Good, now let me eat!

WORLD LEADER
What the hell are you doing? Traitor.

RED PILOT REGNANT
Cleaning up your mess. Now give me that verification command imprint.
I’ll stop the Rebel Army.

WORLD LEADER
You fool. You’ll never get out of here alive! I guarantee it!

RED PILOT REGNANT
This was your plan all along. To use everyone as food.

WORLD LEADER
Mankind was too stupid to stop
overpopulating the world.
When pushed to the edge, we must compromise.
The rule of nature is life eats life.
When it’s fully cooked, it’s civilized.

RED PILOT REGNANT
Those vaults are death traps.
And now I want you to join them.
Get in, or die.

WORLD LEADER INTERCOM
Leave here now, and I’ll let you live.
I guarantee it!

RED PILOT REGNANT
Next shot won’t miss.

WORLD LEADER INTERCOM
Okay, okay! But they’ll get me out, you’ll see.

RED PILOT regnant
If they ever find ya…

INTERCOM GRAY SOLDIER
What’s going on in there? The ALARM went off.

RED PILOT REGNANT
False alarm. World Leader ate too much and fell asleep in his room. He’s not
to be disturbed.

INTERCOM GRAY SOLDIER
Open up, so I can verify it.

RED PILOT REGNANT
Sure thing.
I have his verification Command Imprint right here.

GRAY SOLDIER
Okay. Good. What are you doing with that TPI TOMB?

RED PILOT REGNANT
He told me he won’t be needing it anymore.

GRAY SOLDIER
Then proceed. I have to double check for any alarm.

RED PILOT REGNANT
Understood.

RED PILOT REGNANT
Are the cameras in here still broken?

SOLDIER
Cameras? We don’t have cameras in the freezer. No point
filming a billion dead caskets.

RED PILOT REGNANT
Yeah, I was just joking. Thanks.

RED PILOT REGNANT
Here we go…

INTERCOM
Alert. There is a RED SOLDIER imposter among us!
And the WORLD LEADER is missing!
Secure all exits! Let no one leave!

GRAY SOLDIER
Our World Leader’s safety is of critical importance
to his great plan of rebuilding our world.
One of you is an imposter.
And the way we’re going to find you, is through the World Leader’s
last verification Command Imprint.
Step forward, one by one until we find the culprit.

GRAY SOLDIER
Drop your weapon or die!

REGNANT RED SOLDIER
I got a better idea.
You want to find your World Leader alive?

GRAY SOLDIER
We have cameras everywhere. We’ll find him.
Execute him on the count of three!

REGNANT UNMASKED
You have cameras in the Freezer Vault?

GRAY SOLDIER
… Hold your fire!

REGNANT
There are a billion TPI Tombs in there.
You need me, before he freezes to death.

GRAY SOLDIER
Okay. Show us where he is. And
maybe we’ll let you live.

GRAY SOLDIER
Where is he?

REGNANT
It’s got to be one of these, I’m sure of it.

GRAY SOLDIER
We don’t have time for games.

REGNANT
Then shut off the Freezer.

GRAY SOLDIER
All the meat will spoil. Now find him!

GRAY SOLDIER
Don’t shoot! We need him alive!
Split up and find him!

WORLD LEADER
Shut off the freezer!
I don’t even have a cell phone to
call anyone. I’m in here you fools!
Help me! Please! Help… Me… Help… Me…

GRAY TROOPER
All TPI TROOPERS are to remain inside
the base until our world leader is found
inside the freezer vaults.
Anyone leaving will be shot on sight!

REGNANT
That was easy.

REGNANT
I Spoke too soon.

REGNANT
Let’s see how you like your food ruined!

RED LEADER (FORMERLY GRAY TROOPER)
We have been breached. Our great World Leader, lost within
his freezing chambers. I’m taking over as commanding Leader.
Now we will show this rebel that we do not forget, nor forgive!
Hunt him down! No mercy!

REGNANT
Let’s see how you like your food ruined!

REGNANT (repeats)
Let’s see how you like your food ruined!

LEADER
You know how to fix the cooler?

TROOPER
No sir.

LEADER
Then get someone who does or we’re all
doomed!

TROOPER
Yes sir!

LEADER
You ruined everything!
We’ll all perish because of you!

REGNANT
You doomed all of us non-essential people to
death.

LEADER
You’re right! You are non-essential!

LEADER
Please! Spare me!

REGNANT
And what about the two trillion that you
turned into food?

LEADER
They were all doomed to starve!
There was no other solution!
People are a plague!
Blame their unrestricted overpopulation!
Blame the World Leader!

REGNANT
It’s also because you followed orders. This is just as much your
fault.

LEADER
No, wait! Please! This is worse than death!

REGNANT
Relax!
Step into your new TPI Tomb of Extinction
and enjoy!

LEADER
Nooo!!!

REGNANT
Damn soil has gone bad. Food plants won’t grow anymore.
There’s got to be some fish still left.

City of Rott Origin Updates May 2026

City of Rott Origin Test Walk Cycle 3 Frames Versus 15 Frames for Jon. There are fans who prefer the more basic, 3 frame walk cycle. With City of Rott 1, most walk cycles were 3 frames only per second, due to the limits of Image Ready. With City of Rott Otherworld, I was able to animate with 24 fps, but some fans felt it was too smooth and prefer the older 3 frame cycle. With City of Rott Origin, this is a direct comparison of 3 frames per second, like in City of Rott 1 when Jon, a zombie or Fred walks, compared to 15 frames per second in Guest of Evil or City of Rott Origin as my goal.

To reduce the “Jello” Gelatin bouncy look, I’ll keep the standing animations more basic and still, compared to the more dynamic movement that I’ve been using in my newer films. What do you prefer? 3 frames or the newer 15 frames walk shown here? I can understand why some fans like the older, more primitive walk cycle, though I personally like the smoother walk, and this is only 15 frames instead of 24 like in my 3rd City of Rott film. So this has a choppier look to it compared to that one. But 3 frames per second was never my goal even in the original film, and I had to reduce it to 3 frames (or 4) when they were walking because of the limitations of Adobe Image Ready, which was a very basic animation program add on for Photoshop, which eventually changed into Adobe After Effects, which I used for some of the zoom effects in Shock Invasion.

Image Ready, I was not able to scale/zoom or rotate in real time. Any time I took the bitmap layer and rotated it, then that would be permanent in the animation, and I’d have to create additional layers to get a different angle or scale. That meant I had to use Photoshop to pre-animate by flattening each character’s 3 frame walk cycle, then make them visible, invisible every 3 frames or so, to create the look of animation walking. I tried more frames, but then the amount of layers slowed my computer down to a crawl, very slow.

That’s why I had to reduce it back to 3 frames walk cycles so I could work more easily without the sluggish results of too many layers in Adobe Image Ready while animating. With my 2014 animations since Tales of the Dim, I am using a program called Anime Studio Pro 8, recommended by another animator to help make my work easier as a solo animator for BlackArro Productions.

It’s been a lot of fun to use and it does create in-betweens so I don’t have to animate those frames myself. My goal has always been smoother animations, trying to get away from the choppiness of my earlier work, which I would’ve had made smoother if I was able to back then. The limits of the software restricted it, along with my old 1999 Mac computer back then, which is considered obsolete and I don’t have access to it as normal with my 2009 Mac, which I still use today offline as I prefer the Mac OS over PC for my art and animations.

City of Rott Origin Fred Attacks Infected Zombie with COR1 Blood Effects

Some plentiful videos posted above for the new City of Rott Origin film! Thank you to all of the fans of City of Rott throughout the world! Thank you also to the fans in Russia too! I appreciate your interest in City of Rott, as this film will cover Fred in his youth at age 26, before he quickly turns into an old man as seen in the events of City of Rott 1. Technically, this will be City of Rott 0, taking place before and revealing how the plague started, a prequel. I normally wouldn’t make a prequel but had enough ideas over the years that it’s a fun project for me to work on to celebrate 20 years since City of Rott 1 in 2006 August. Thanks! -F. Sudol
