I also found out a few days ago that these guys have a Kickstarter going to make an animated series that takes place in the same universe: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1862188728/the-reward-tales-of-alethrion (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1862188728/the-reward-tales-of-alethrion)
It seems woefully underfunded right now, and it would be such a shame if the project were cancelled. Support if you're interested!
That was indeed very awesome!
Yes, I've seen it, but it is rather good.
There's also a game:

Thanks for sharing that video, I'm so backing this Kickstarter!
This is so epic. I just backed.
It's quite a sum they are asking for in total, but if they can deliver what the short promised, it'll be awesome.
Yay! Glad all you guys liked it!
@Peder: Yeah, I think I saw some footage of that on their Kickstarter page. Pretty cool.
I believe they also have an AMA on Reddit today at 3pm (not sure which time zone they're in) where they'll be doodling random stuff for people.
For anyone who liked the short: They did it!

I'll be expecting my Episode 1 around April 2014 :-D
I love the use of color, it's very bright and cheery with hues you don't normally see in animation. I'd enjoy seeing more of this.
Also, for those who didn't come across it: the soundtrack (which is just as incredible as the animation) by Mathias Winum is officially available for free download on SoundCloud:

Yeah, I'm so happy they were able to get funded! It looked a little doubtful there for a while.
