Plans for the Future
a year ago
So out of curiosity. I decided to sit down and math out how long it would take to tell the story of Alterria the way I wanted to.
Not counting "Advent Moon" and "Prelude of the Phantasm", there are 6 story arcs planned. Each intended to be 12 chapters long. A Chapter is 20 pages long. Currently I'm releasing 2 pages per week. there are 52 weeks in a year so at most. That's 104 pages a year assuming I never missed 2 per week. That's 5 Chapters and 4 pages a year.
Alterria counting "Prelude of the Phantasm" and Advent Moon. Would take 74 Chapters + the 30 pages of Advent Moon to complete. That's 1510 page!
It would take me 15 years to complete this story. I'd be 50 by the Time I finished!
But if I went and slashed those arcs down to 6 Chapters each. It would take me only 8 years to complete it.
I've got a lot of thinking to do about how to handle this because I still want to make games. And have been working on conceptualize a new smaller project.
My advice to anyone reading this in their 20s. Never be afraid to start! If you got an idea for a webcomic, Go for it! Even if you can't draw/write, you'll learn and improve as you go along in addition to online advise/tuts! I will never get back the 15 years a lost not bothering to just make the things I wanted to make. Drawing/writing skills be damned! Even a bad Web Comic is better than no Webcomic!
