Alright, so here's a bunch of junk I plan on doing
10 years ago
Updating the CYOA formula
I know I haven't been working on it lately mostly because of work and battling a cold, but I've had this in my head for a long time now. I want to make it more interactive.
Trying to fit in story as text in a small 2000x2000 page and downsizing it by 33% isn't cutting it for me. I don't think it make it appealing, and writing out a long story in the description of the image takes away from the image itself. My first attempt at this was a canned and really bad animated .gif version of the battle with the demonic changeling which I may upload to scraps later. My second attempt was making it Flash based with clickable speech bubbles which didn't get past creating a backround in which I realized I need to study planes and lightsources more before I make a more convincing background.
The Idea of Flash Animating the story stuck with me and I wanted to further expand on that idea. If you ever played a JRPG or something similar where you have a textbox and two characters or more on the sides of the screen making static gestures as they talk, then that's what I'm thinking of doing. It can allow more story in, more dialogue and maybe even enhance the world a bit. There's also maybe adding in mini-games if I get better with flash. I've had this idea of making fights animated since the beginning. I've had this Flash CS4 Professional Classroom in a Book on my desk as well as Actionscript 3.0 since I went to college and I have not once used them even in classes, and I've already finished college back in 2012 lol. Talk about wasted resources.
An Entirely new project
While I do not wish to stop CYOA at any point, I do have another comic series that I've wanted to do ever since I had this once Lucid dream. Basically it's about a Medieval setting (go figure) where Red Dragons watch over and protect kingdoms unbeknown to the citizens of it from Black Dragon threats. Sounds kind of a basic fantasy story, but I want my try on it. CYOA is literally made up on the spot. This is why there are so many inconsistencies (Cherry knowing where Jack's house is..etc). This is going to be written up and planned and made up like say a Webcomic, but I myself am not a writer so it's just something I want to see if I can pull off.
Other forms of income
I see that other people do this Patreon thingy. I'm hesitant about it. I don't feel like it's right and it feels very scumbaggy, especially for me to do. I like making everyone happy and putting my art behind paywalls is stupid. Plus it's another site for me to upload shit to. dA and FA is enough. I don't even use my IB anymore, let alone Weasyl.
Streaming
I plan on streaming more. Maybe once I feel better and stop coughing up sticky mucus from my lungs into my nose. It's going to be erratic though. No real set times.
Uh, so yeah.
