Hello Everybody! (reference to InTheLittleWood - that’s how he opens all his videos in his very Martin-ey voice)
But I digress. This post is all about one big thing… That we will begin regular Comic updating schedules starting on Monday November 5th, 2012. (did you see that… its actually bigger… hehe) This is a big deal and everyone on the team deserves a huge round of applause. Let me fill you in on some of the details:
- We’ve been working on this story for over a year
- There are over 60k words written in the form of a short story (proofread by Brandon Sanderson himself during Dan‘s class)
- There are over 300 image files shared between the artists and the writing team on our Basecamp.
- Our two artists are set to produce about 15 pages a month on average and we have a nice little buffer ready so we shouldn’t miss our scheduled updates.
- And Nick is going crazy finishing up the configuration of the website.
So dear readers and early adopters. We are aware that there are a few rough corners on the website as a whole. Dan is working hard on filling in the missing static content, like the about us section and the character biographies. Nick is working all weekend here to optimize the comic reading work flow. Matias and Sebastian are working like mad men to keep up the pace without sacrificing art quality. Its going to be hectic here for a bit, but we feel the best way to stay motivated is to start producing art. So here is the rollout plan:
- Starting next week normal update schedule
- Also starting next week we will load up a lot of back-story stuff… some of the short story chapters, a lot of the art that went into the concepts. Some stuff from the artist selection process etc.
Got it? Now just for your reference dear reader here is our update schedule:
- Monday - Comic
- Tuesday - Science Article
- Wednesday - Lore Article
- Thursday - Comic
- Friday - Text from the Story version

I think that’s enough for this post, but be on the lookout because a lot of content is going to get added to the site here in the next few days, and we would absolutely love to hear your opinion.
