Following up on the PodWarps

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Following the discussion of Station V3 in Episode 13 of PodWarp 1999, I’m planning on making some changes – some to the site, some to the comic. I’m not planning anything too drastic, but next time Emmit appears in the comic (whenever that turns out to be), he will most likely not have his hands in his pockets. That’ll probably be after they get out of the time loop. (So yes, they will be getting out of it – but what then? Keep reading and see!)

Following up on Episode 12, where Dino Andrade was on as a guest, one of the SoulGeek webcomics he mentioned has launched – Legend of Bill by David Reddick. Only a few strips up at the moment, but it looks good so far!

And in other (unrelated) news, Contestant 5 and Contestant 6 finish up Round 1 of Rumormonger Idol for today’s voting bonuses!

Other things to see (and hear) today

Two more contestants try out for Rumormonger Idol in today’s bonuses (here and here – thanks for voting, and if you have a bonus request, you can post it here!

Ebb’s Children updated today. (First time this year!)

And the latest installment of PodWarp 1999 is now online for your listening pleasure! In this episode, we discuss sci-fi sub-genres, the Deus ex Machina, parody/homage/plagiarism, and continuity.

No Fooling

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

A year ago, I put up the first strip for the latest Station V3 spinoff, Silence in the Darkness on Q16. And we all know how that turned out, right? Strip #366 went up today.

In other news, there are two new voting bonuses up today – Today’s strip translated into Violet’s language, and a new style of sprite strip for people who think the old style had too many words and sprites with too much detail.

And if you’re looking for the “green fuzzy thing crawling on your shoulder” joke, try today’s Z7!

Looking back, looking ahead

Last January I made some comic-related New Year’s Resolutions. I think for the most part I managed to keep them:

  • Update Station V3 every day – yep, did that.
  • Update Z7 at least 50 times – I wound up putting up 98 new strips and getting it back on a regular schedule.
  • Update Ebb’s Children at least 10 times – Update 13 times.
  • Make a few changes to the site – Yep, made a few. Maybe not as many as I planned, but a few!
  • Finish putting together the first Station V3 book – Did that! (And you can buy it here.)
  • Keep things interesting – I certainly hope I did that!

…And I also did a few things I hadn’t planned to do! For example, starting Silence in the Darkness on Q16, the third Station V3 spinoff. It actually had the most visitors of the four comics last month, thanks to visitors from StumbleUpon, and various German web sites, such as this one. (Though Station V3 still had the Pac-Man share of the site bandwidth pie chart, and is back in the lead this month.)

Plans for 2008 include hoping the comics will earn enough through Project Wonderful ads and book sales to pay for their hosting, doing more guest strips for other comics, and generally doing pretty much the same thing I did in 2007! (Except for putting together the first book – I’ll have to work on a second one instead.)

…So keep checking this year and see how I do, and I’ll have a followup post on the subject this time next year. :)
