Production Status

Ep. 1: Dead Angle

Phungus daydreams in his little bar in the middle of nowhere, when an escape pod crashes right in front of him. Mowld, emerging from the wreckage turns out to be a fugitive, and with the Imperial guard storming the place, both end up on the run.

Ep. 2: Astral Endeavor

When Mowld agrees to deal with the “ghost” infestation in Phungus’ engine room, they meet a fish called Gluk, have the trippiest space travel of their lives, learn the fate of the spaceship Astral Endeavor, and save the Universe from annihilation – all in a day’s work.

Ep. 3: Origins

Mowld is on yet another mission. Reconnaissance only he says. A Walk in the park he says. Dragging Phungus along, Mowld learns more about the Samosian species than he would care to know…

Ep. 4 ?

WHY IS THERE NO PROGRESS?

Been working on Shadywoods in 2024 and Phungus & Mowld will be rebooted in a new format (same characters mostly)
