Ladies and Gentlemen! Please welcome our newest iteration of the comic!
I wouldn’t publish it until it was 100% ready, but I also said I will do it this week. Oh well!
A few words from our sponsors:
- The panels in the upcoming strips will be 50% larger
- The interface will be finished (see those tiny lamps? They aren’t there just for the looks..! Ok, they are..)
- There will always be a hidden Tappy, clicking on which will take you to a bonus panel
- There will be a few other animations included each time. Or at least I plan to include them 
- I may include some sounds within some strips
- There is a preloader built within the animation, but this particular one isn’t as big so as to use it
- The speed at which I’ll produce the strips will probably be lower. Quality > Quantity, mon
- I still do have technical problems.. So far I was able to trace it to LiveStream and Youtube. Whenever I watch these there’s a chance I’ll experience a serious graphic card malfunction. Any ideas on that one?
See you next time!
Cheers!
That was really good! I didn’t expect it to be that long, so that was pretty cool. If shortening it down a little would help you keep your schedual though, I wouldn’t complain.
I was pleased to see that the bonus was something you looked for, but it wasn’t frusterating or a chore. Just good fun.
I gotta say, nice job!
Awww, you made me smile ^_^
We shall see how often the strips will be released. It’s not about the number of panels (though I admit it can shorten the time required for each strip), but getting used to the new medium. I will see what I can do.
An interactive, somewhat hidden button is something I wanted to include for a looong time. I’m glad you liked it. I know I do
Right on, I hear ya. Hopefully some good old fashioned practice will make it easier on you then!
Draco, your progrmming is getting better and better, I salute you.
I really do wonder, though, why didn’t Dimitrij wnted that sentence to be finished?, What was our dwarven anti-hero going to say?
And, LOL, gnome overboard! I see what you did there!
Thankee. It’s not that bad once you get used to it. Unfortunately (or fortunately as it required a bit of brainstorming) some animating required a lot of creativity. Time’s the best teacher
Can’t say what Hert implied, I don’t want to be all shiny for the rest of my life. And after that
I was thinking of a catchy tune and what’s better than good ol’ Oxhorn? Believe me, the alternatives were terrible
like the new interface! very cool! but it needs a “cruise control” auto button for lazy people like me. >D
as for youtubes… before I finished reading I thought “I still do have technical problems.. So far I was able to trace it to LiveStream and Youtube. Whenever I watch these there’s a chance I’ll experience a serious rift in time and realize 3 days have passed!” lol!!! tends to happen when I’m in a mlp marathon mood! >)
but uh… are you still using chrome? maybe it’s time to go back to the fox. >) try updating your card drivers, sound too, and the flash/silverlight too. if that doesn’t work, check to see what bit level you’re running at. if you’ve got a 64bit system and it’s running in 32, then you might get probs. some programs you have to dig around to find the 64bit version. hope one or all of these helps! XD
Thankee, I’ll think about that autobutton, but I think it’s best if it’s the user who decides when to quit looking for tappy and move on to the next panel. I might implement the use of arrowkeys though. Yeah. that’d be awesome
I can only second that! I have to admit that a lion’s share of my time is spent on checking new posts on sites like DeviantArt or Tumblr. Still, the new strip is in production, so it’s not that bad, right? Right..?
I might give FF another go, especially if I find a FoxNews theme (hint hint) to accompany it. Tried updating the drivers to no avail, maybe I’ve overlooked the 32bit part on one? Will reinstall them again later, busy week ahead of me..
