True. I'm sure you have more than two fans though . Thing is, I like feeling like I'm doing something the community enjoys. When I get no responses except from the people inside our guild it kinda kills that. In turn that gives me less inspiration to make them... oh the vicious cycle.

PS: I only want to feel like a god if I don't have to look like Grenth. It's not pretty what's under that hood.

So, here we have the twenty fourth installment:

So, your saying that you don't get inspired by responces from your own guildies (even if they're copied from our forum)? well thanks a lot.

p.s. I'm a Twinky monk fan!

About once a week, give or take a day or so. Generally it depends on whether I can find the hours to settle. I don't have a great deal planned for today and tomorrow, so the next one should show up before the end of tuesday (GMT).

I dislike double posting, but it was two days ago I last posted and I do have the latest comic. It's a little later than planned due to something that came up yesterday, but it's before the end of Tuesday like I said.

On a completely seperate note, when naming the comic I found myself entering its creation date as 06/06/06... 666? I know people more observant than me would have noticed this already, but dang...

I made a comic on a day of evil. What is the world coming to?

Actually, here in Holland they are re-releasing The Omen in the cinema's today, don't know if it's a make over, or just a re-release of the old movie.

Anyway, back ontopic: yay! With our forum being down I'm glad I checked this section twice today.

Wonderfull work Fancy markerboards ftw!

thort this should be at the top agen so, i never had time to read all your comics, but i ddi today, and i admit there pretty class. its a good pixle comic, although somtimes it gets a bit repetive like having the same picture over n over. it had a great look tho, and its a bigish comic, compared to short 3 pannel ones, i hate those. you know what would be cool? if we joined forses in one grand issue! lol what say you? im sure we could get some good concepts out of it

Admittedly that's my failing, I rarely bother cooking up new sprites. Even when I do make on from scratch, I often scrap them because they just don't look right. What I make up for in repetition I hope I make up for in frames.

I figure if 8-Bit theatre and others can get away with it, I can just let that area slide for now.

-----------------------------

Edit 10/06/06: Ok, it's come summer, so like at easter I'm headed home for a bit. If I can, I'll try to still get some comics to you, but for the most part it's all on hold again. Have a good summer everyone. It will continue when I return...

I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to think of 'hunting' as something a little less repetitive.

Capturing elite skills is hunting. You hunt down the boss with the elite you want, kill'em, take the skill. Even if you then repeat the process with another character, you're probably not doing it so many times that it becomes repetitive.

Farming, the way I understand it, involves a lot of repitition - find something you know you can handle, and do it over and over again, in a process that could be compared to the repetitive tasks required to maintain a farm. By contrast, however, I expect that hunting is going to be different each time - real, wild animals tend to be less predictible than AI enemies.

I've been waiting for so long for a new comic. How does he send these to you if he doesn't have internet?

I think he does have acces to internet from time to time, though on a shabby computer with a dail up modem. Not quite sure, but I think he said something like that on Guild chat. Anyway, we're all waiting in the hopes of getting a new comic. I'll ask Blackheart if he has spoken to Griphyne and knows any more about the comic.

I'm back bearing a couple of gifts. I know it isn't much, but that's what comes of me taking a break. There's a 29th one on its way, so consider the comic officially recontinued.

For the people who were confused, I do have an internet connection back at my family's home, but the amount of times I can get on are few and far between. When I do it's almost impossible to upload anything to our server due to it's stupidly ancient connection. Add that to a thunder storm taking hitting the phone line just outside our house and leaving us without that for a month and you have the reason I stalled giving Blackheart the last two comics. It sounds a bit far fetched, but the truth often is.

I just hope these two make up a little for my absence.

Monk and E/Mo with a problem. Makes me wonder if that ship will either find Cantha or even Elona.

I'll do my utmost to keep the rambling shorter.

And thanks to everyone for the welcome back. I'll get Ep.29 done this weekend for you.
