I'm happy for you :) It's cool you're pursuing your crafts and making things!

Your unbound stuff looks awesome too.

> But I’m also thinking ahead quite far and trying to think of ways to find more readers.

Maybe Space Deer could be published in a picture book format once there's a ton of pages of material. The method of consumption might be cozy and convert people who otherwise wouldn't read web comics.

...

> Are you obsessed with something right now?

I spent a few weeks porting a game of mine to PC with some enhancements, and I think that it really picked up my momentum for game development. It's coming out in a few weeks on steam; https://store.steampowered.com/app/3029680/You_Want_to_Watch_the_World_Burn/

I've been working a ton of hours on this social MMO "World of Cubes" https://imgur.com/a/rjCRS0A ; Made without an engine.

I think game dev classifies as an obsession because I wish I could also improve my animation and drawing skills, but I have such a perfect time to progress my game projects towards finish right now.

I'm definitely going to get the comics printed at some point. The question is just how to make people find the book once it is printed. For webcomics it's usually the comic strips themselves that do the marketing.

So cool that you're porting it! It's fun to see the original calculator version in the description as well. I remember you talking about this during our chat.

I get why you mentioned Cube World as part of your creative ancestors. It seems to be a recurring thing for you to explore how to make grid/block-based games. I like the color palettes in this new 3D game, and I can already tell it's some kind of fox despite the simplicity.

Seems like you're having a lot of fun with this! :- )

I think having people find the book will be its own unique creative challenge; thinking of it that way, it sounds fun.

:) Thanks, it is going great

They work for me in both versions. Is it the Toocheke link that gives you a bad URL? I got a warning when I first opened that from the email but I was able to press "continue anyway."
