Production

Before the show

Before CG: ATR came to be, much of the cast had previously worked together on an abandoned project called Zulu. Zulu was set to be a machinima made in Halo: Reach, and StarKhan and Copley had written a full season of episodes, and they, along with DemonicLemmings, Phyato, seasikberry, LadyLuther, Fri Ying Pan, and Fridgeon, had recorded the voices for much of it. However, due to disappointment with the scripts' sophomoric humour and a lack of time for production due to the members going to various universities, the project was eventually abandoned.

Development

StarKhan began working on CG: ATR in May 2014, where he wrote the first draft of episode 1 during a slow day at school. Upon completion, he showed it to DemonicLemmings and Copley, who helped revise and critique his writing. Due to their previous work in machinima, the group decided to write several episodes ahead of time in order to allow the voice actors more time to get in and record, and also to lower the frequency in which they would need to record. However, this process was abandoned as it caused inconveniences when re-records needed to be done, and frequently hindered script re-writes. Casting was done fairly early on, with DemonicLemmings already cast as Lelouch and other roles being filled over time.

The first episode's initial voicing was finished in September 2014, and editing began immediately. A month later, work stalled, as DemonicLemmings (Lelouch) became busy with university classes, and had not been able to re-record. Due to a lack of voice actors, Copley went to the AbridgedForums and Voice Acting Alliance in order to fill additional roles. Alifluro was cast as Villetta in November, and the group had to recast Suzaku due to the original voice actor not remaining in contact. After a month of holding open auditions, spritestuff was cast in the role on December 1. Production resumed in mid-January 2015 after a long hiatus, and the first episode was released on February 21, 2015.
