The Current State of Things - Rumormonger :: 12.13.2006
As usual, I'm the bearer of news both good and bad. As you know it's the end of the year, and with Christmas around the corner and with both Erica and I working in retail we're prone to being a little more tired. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to bring to the plate tonight other than a an undetermined hiatus span. My efforts to push her further on Wake Odyssey have fallen short, but to be fair she has been overrun with a lot of art related tasks lately, so I'm just not sure when we'll be able to continue working on it.
I've written a fair amount out--somewhere around two more chapters past the prologue--and have the next ten in some stage of planning and drafting. I'll try to finish laying a few more out as well so we have a bit of a jump start when we get back to Wake Odyssey. I'll also continue to work in some of the site workings for you as well. I know I mentioned getting a way that didn't involve the javascript to view the comic in here, so at least something will be waiting for you.
For the Fans - Rumormonger :: 11.30.2006
We have added a section for fan crafted materials--sounds so official and mechanical doesn't it?--so don't be shy. Well, be shy if you like, I won't force you. Thanks in part to my dad for christening the section with a song he made based entirely on the name and my poor descibing ability
of our humble comic. I'm not even 100% sure he even remembers making the song, but give it a listen and may it inspire others to do awesome things.
The Information - Rumormonger :: 11.22.2006
I have information that brings a sort of mixed bag with it. The good news is that we have decided on a release schedule for Wake Odyssey. Updates will come in the form of chapters that will go up consistantly and timely. Erica thinks this will help her stay on top of it instead of rushing out a page unworthy of you. The bad news is that you'll have to wait a little longer to keep going in the series.
Unfortunately, this also means you'll have to wait on the rest of the prologue. To keep things more positive around here, I figure we'll pump out extras every chance we get, whatever they may be. I'm open to suggestions, and I can easily be persuaded to persuade others to do your bidding.
More to Come - Rumormonger :: 11.10.2006
Page six is forthcoming, I promise you. Erica recently got herself a job and my hours are getting longer, so we're trying to sort out the hows and whens of everything. As soon as it's ready you'll be the first to know. We'll also have a few changes made around here to make the pages easier to view for some of you.
All Caught Up! - Rumormonger :: 10.30.2006
We appear to have caught up to ourselves page-wise. I have the next few planned out, and Erica should be starting work on those before too long. She's been sick, you see, and no amount of verbal pressure, or sending of get well's, will make pages come any faster. Or so I'm told... You have page five to keep you company tonight, in any case, so be good to it.
I also get to note, to you, that another character is on the scene! Kelryn, or Knife as we lovingly referred to her back in the planning stages, is one of my favorite characters in the entire comic. As per our history together I'm sure a Then and Now will come of her appearance, so look for that at some point in time. I know I had one last thing, but its importance must have been so overwhelming I forgot what it was.
Then and Now 2 - Rumormonger :: 10.24.2006
Ganam's Then and Now has been added to the extras page for your eyes to take in. Lots of reading, I know, but I have faith in you.
Two Pages, One Low Price! - Rumormonger :: 10.23.2006
We have a big one for you this time around, so I apologize for the scrolling you will have to endure. Looks like things are starting to heat up between Lieris and Ganam. Not that four pages in makes much of a difference, I guess, but who can turn down a fight? Also, as soon as Erica can scan in some old art of Ganam we'll have another Then and Now up. Somehow neither one of us has him on our computers... What a sly, sly bad-man.
Then and Now - Rumormonger :: 10.18.2006
Tired of updates yet? We said we'd be adding more over the course of the week, but I guess you could have been under the impression we didn't keep our word very well... If you were looking at our track record anyway. So, what is a Then and Now? Erica wanted to give you a glimpse into the design history of people, places, and things in Wake Odyssey, so she threw together quick flash cards of said stuff for everyone. Right now Elika is the only Then and Now, but more will crop up soon enough.
You can find them in the Extra Material section. They load like every other image on the site does, so don't say you weren't prepared for images!
Page Two, GO! - Rumormonger :: 10.17.2006
I always like a freshly updated page, and that's exactly what's happened this evening. Don't count this as a regularly scheduled upate or anything, because we're still working that out. Keep an eye out for more stuff this week since I know we're working on it and all. Uh, yeah, that's about it.
Six in Extra - Rumormonger :: 10.14.2006
Alrighty! We have a humble gallery going in Extra Materials in case you were hungering for some WO artwork. Not sure why you would be... You can also find a few of our handy-dandy link button thingers in Links. Right now, that's the best I can do. If it helps, though, Erica's working on page five right now. I like to keep you reassured.
We Are Live - Rumormonger :: 10.12.2006
Welcome to the Wake Odyssey site. I really wanted to get it up tonight, so I went ahead and did what I could before I had to go to bed for work tomorrow. Basically, we're just missing the Extra Materials section and a few visual sitely details, but I figured you would be okay for a day without it. We've got page one ready for your viewing pleasure, and are currently working on page five. You'll notice the numbers that don't light up. Those numbers are where we're at in making the comic. Kind of a small reminder to us and a heads up to you.
We'll try to stay on top of things around here, but also keep in mind we craft value=dead_ twice a week as well. I know some of you are from the various sites Erica (Bratkitty) posts her art on, so enjoy more than a preview from now on!
