A HELL OF A WEEK.

You ever had one of those weeks where everything decides to stop working?

Well I have.

Despite that I did finish this weeks chapter (although a little late), but I'll probably not be able to release a chapter next week. But I will try regardless!
Either way, come back next week for something a little special, even if the regular chapter isn't finished

​On a side note, what is up with the weather?
It's the end of March and it's snowing outside my window right now.
What the hell sky?

EXCUSES, EXCUSES

Another week and no Raiden Legacy.

But for good reasons!

First of I've been working on a new project; one I mentioned a while ago but was still working the kinks out. Unfortunately there are still many kinks, despite working all of Sunday to try and fix it, but I have a definite plan on how to handle it, and I should be able to talk more about it around the beginning of April.
And I'm not trying to do one of those, "I'm working on a super secret project that I can't tell you about!" things, but I feel like I owe it to the few people who follow what I do to explain why there is not Raiden Legacy this week. Plus talking too much about this before it's ready makes me paranoid about somebody taking the idea first.
CONGRATS INTERNET! YOU MADE ME PARANOID!

Secondly I wanted a good bulk of Raiden Legacy scripts finished so that people can check them over and I don't have to redo another chapter half way through.
I'm up to 10 finished chapters, so now I can slow down a bit and try to focus on weekly script writing and concept art.
I'm also working on how I would sell books and T-shirt designs and researching on how to go about that, plus I have some additional Raiden based work to finish that will probably be in the first volume, since I want to give an incentive for  people to buy something when they can read it online anyway.
Don't know if people will buy anything, but hey, if I don't try I'll never know right?

Thirdly, and I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I'm taking the advantage that I don't think people are really invested in the series yet (to the few who are actually reading, this does not include you. You guys are awesome). After chapter 08 I'll hopefully be in the position to focus on weekly releases.
What do I mean hopefully?
It's a certainty!!!

Regardless I'm still sticking to my intention to not leave more than 2 weeks between releases. I'm already nearly done with chapter 05 so I'll be done with it over the next few days, ready for a release next Monday.
So next week I promise too...wait, is the title mocking me?

GETTING MY GROOVE BACK!

I seem to be getting more efficient at drawing pages lately (admittedly my productivity has dropped slightly after I discovered Game Grumps), so I should be able to meet my weekly update for chapter 05. However my next shifts have me working 5 days out of the week (unusual for a new part timer), so it'll be a test of my skills and endurance.

Not too much say, except that I'm finally finding my groove.

​One thing that sucks is that work is keeping me from meeting up with friends who have moved away; I'm going to have to miss out on yet another night out. However I'm determined to organise a laser quest and suit day! Why? Because I endever to be childishly self-indulgent in everything that I do.
Life's more fun that way!

OUR WEEKLY UPDATE IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE

Another week missed for Raiden Legacy, due in part to the rewrite of the last chapter.

A huge problem was that to meet the deadline I had to draw character designs for the Ryulong soldiers on the fly rather than creating the concept art along with the script like I usually do. As a result I ran out of time on this, so no comic today.

However I did promise last I missed an update not to leave more than a 2 week gap between releases and I plan to stick with that.

I chose to try and release chapter 03 on time, pushing 04 back, rather than going into a weekly release but making 03 another week late. Really this was because I wanted to see if I could make it; an exercise in deadlines if you will.

Once I finish the first volume I plan to pick up production, as I get into the schedule of producing regular content.

After 3 years of university and trying to write this I'm still learning. Soon I'll be ready to take this as a profession.

​This is where I would be talking about Metal Gear Rising, but I'm still lost in the space of Mass Effect. Playing through one last time, I'm finally getting my playthrough ready for the sequels and crafting a longer story. Really this a unique gaming experience that (so far as I haven't even touched 3) a crappy ending can't take away from me. But we'll see when I get there. When I finally get a chance to have a day off I'll finally get to have a playthrough.
Another game I'm playing right is Transformers Fall of Cybertron; which I missed the first time round and I'm finding an awesome online experience. Plus, custom Dinobots! I guess I'm just a sucker for cybernetic T-rexs (I pretend it's the red ranger zord in my glee).
