So what's going on? Why no new pages? Why no filler?
Well, I have a wonderful answer for you!
That answer is I'm a piece of shit. 😎
Okay no but really, here's the timeline of events:
- I write and sketch all the pages all the way to the end of the Skuuba arc
- Atari dilligently works on them
- I decide 3-4 pages need revising
- I'm suddenly stricken with paralyzing writer's block
- Which is stupid because it's ALREADY WRITTEN
- I suddenly feel incredibly burnt out on everything in life
- This goes on for weeks; we run out of buffer
- I keep telling Atari I'll get him the pages this weekend
- It's a dirty lie; this weekend never comes
And, most recently! Atari's PC took a big ol' shit! Just crapped itself right on the floor. Killed itself. And he lost aaaaaalllllll his files! Every last one. Sketches, finished pages, reference photos, all of it. Woo!
He's in the process of recovering most of it, and I had all the finished pages he's already completed, but it still just sucks, right?
Anyway, not being able to Art left his income lacking a bit, so he's catching up on commissions. In the meantime, I'm still trying to recover from burnout. I'm getting there? I think? I'm also switching up medications. We'll see how that shit goes.
Not an official hiatus! No sir! We're gonna call this... 🤔 A temporary lull. Yes, yes that sounds good. Let's go with that.
Keep checking in! Best way to keep up is to either subscribe or join our Discord!
So with that, THANK YOU for being super patient! I want this comic updating just as much as you do. And I know what happens! It's just. *gestures at the last year and a half* You know??
Anyway, that's the current update. Stay beautiful. 😎
Hope you can work past the block but don't worry I'm not going anywhere I still check Elf's only Inn hoping for an update, that and Gaming Gaurdian, and I killed the Hero. However long you need I will wait because I love this story and will be on the lookout for it's continuation.
If you're experiencing burnout, you might want to take advantage of this and just not think about the comic at all for a while.
Generally a good cure for writer's block is to focus on something else or a different project. Just something you can get passionate about even if only for a little while. Like rekindling a flame.
Yay! I am glad you're still here! Things are going well. Slow, but well. Pages have been sent to Atari and he's working on them as he is able. Once we've got a reasonable buffer up, things should start strolling along again!
hey new read reader just caught up love the talent progression as it built up to 2 months ago. Writers block does suck, I myself have adhd so I understand to some degree what you're going through, but at the same time I am also a tech of some large degree. if you want a hand or something? let me know......
Hey!! Glad to have you! Luckily pages HAVE been sent to Atari, and we'll be back on track fairly soon! Thanks for the comment, and feel free to join our Discord! :D :D
Thanks for the update.
