Ugh. Okay, been having one of those "I'm going to die in a ditch poor and a failure" kinds of weeks, but things should be back on track. Next page is maybe a third done, so really tenatively speaking, looks like it might be up in two weeks.
In terms of games, haven't got much new. I snagged a copy of that new Zelda game for the GBA (The Minish Cap), because I'm an unrepentant Zelda fanboy, and it's pretty good. Controls a lot like Link's Awakening, but looks a lot better. I'm not a huge fan of the Wind Waker style graphics, but they do look a lot better on a sprite system like the GBA than I thought they did on the Gamecube. There are a pair of collection quests, too, one of which is kind of boring (collecting kinstones), while the other is extremely boring (collecting figurines by repeatedly pulling a switch). Overall, though, it's a really charming game.
Still trying to get the art on Cion up to acceptable standards, too. Right now, I'm noticing a lot of problems with character expressions, as well as clothing issues. If anyone else notices anything, feel free to drop me a line.
Next page is up! We're doing pretty well ;)
So if you type "cion" into google.com, and press "I'm Feeling Lucky", assuming you meant to visit our site (which is something I'm going to assume, logic be damned), you do get lucky. How do I know this? I'm incredibly narcissistic.
The new page is currently being held up because of my inability to get a hold on it. I'm going to try again tomorrow - I know what I basically want to happen, but it's still fairly vague, and isn't becoming any clearer as yet.
The ball is finally rolling with the new page; it took me a surprisingly long time (well, it was a surprise to me) to come up with the script for this page, probably because there're a few directions in which I could have gone with it. I'm fairly pleased with how it's turning out, however.
It's been a long, long while since I added any text updates, so I thought I should finally fix and upload the last two pages of Servant of Kere. It was a hard story to write, and affected me pretty deeply, but I'm glad that it's finished, and now part of the Cion world. Let me know what you think of it in the forum.
I'm not sure whether I'm going to have any more text updates, because a lot of the stuff that I'd previously thought would just be text, I'm planning on now adding to the comic (or, the stories don't exist any more, because I've changed what was going to happen). Still, I might see if I can write a few stories that exist in the Cion world that don't have a direct link to the story in the comic itself, so I don't need to worry about the stories being required reading for the comic (which they're not at the moment, and never were meant to be, but was probably the direction in which I was heading).
