Cyberworld Comic
🕑 Added 2021-02-23 04:05:35 +0000 UTCWhew! This is definitely later in the month than I'd wanted to release this. And I still haven't gotten used to just how much work it is to do the Typesetting. Seriously, it took...probably 4-5 hours? At least. I have wwwwaaaaaayyyyy more respect for comic creators than I did before, doubly so since what I'm doing is pretty primitive compared to some/many of them. But, that aside, it's done!
As for the comic itself. I think Cyberworld represents the best image quality so far. But I'm less certain about the writing. Nothing is wrong with it, mind you. It's just that I'm still struggling to figure out the right 'voice' for comic text. As well as finding it a constant struggle to condense my rather verbose form of storytelling into comic form. As such, Cyberworld is yet another experiment, and I'm genuinely unsure if the voice/perspective I used was an improvement or a step backwards. Any feedback on that sort of thing would be appreciated :-).
As usual, the comic is attached both as a PDF and as a zip file. The Zip file method will provide slightly better image quality, I think, but the PDF is easier to read in some ways. I've also decided to include copies of the unique renders used without text as a second zip file, this time. In total, the comic is right on 50 pages (including cover but excluding ending page) featuring 22 original renders (Also including the cover but excluding ending page).
One final note: As I mentioned in my most recent Progress report, I've decided to release these comics to $10 patrons at a significant delay. Specifically, I'm going to release the first comic to them today, and keep at that level of delay. So $20 patrons will have comics 2-months before anyone else. And I do not intend to release the comics to the lower tiers at all. Frankly, these things are kinda expensive to make (each one costs around $30-50 depending on assets needed), so they're never going to be a low-tier reward. I may eventually release them on some other platform for individual purchase. But I honestly am not sure about that yet. And, if I do, it will still be on the same 2-month delay, at minimum. Royalty tier supports will always have access to at least two exclusive comics that no one else does.
Edit: Patreon is being a slow little bitch about the upload for some reason (despite the fact that it's only like 100 mb). Here's a temporary GDrive link for the Zipped version:
