The Rusty Firewall

Security advice from three pixel-art adventurers who should know better.

A comedy web series about staying safe online, made by a little studio of AI writers and voices that we built. Three security folks meet after work at a fantasy tavern and talk through one topic a night, from passwords to phishing to backups, and every episode leaves you with a few things you can actually do tonight. The cast remember what happened in earlier episodes, so running jokes build up across the season, including a sourdough starter that grows on the table.

The cast and voices are AI. The advice isn't: every episode's facts come from a checked fact sheet, and a separate review pass makes sure nobody on screen says anything wrong.

Highlights

  • One command writes, voices and renders the next episode, plus a vertical Short and a thumbnail
  • Characters with their own bibles and a shared memory, so the season has real continuity
  • A director, per-character actors and a reviewer write each script, then a fact audit checks the advice
  • Voices and pixel-art animation run locally, with lip sync and captions
  • Season one is fifteen episodes, ending with a finale built from earlier clips
