So WHEN is Chapter 3 going public?
6 years ago
General
Ever since embarking down this path of early access for patrons, I'm sure the rest of you are wondering when the chapter will be made public. Again, this way of doing things is an experiment, I'm not yet certain that I'll be doing it this way forever. All I know is that it's really hard for me to keep up with the once-per-week full color full page posts, and I need a better solution that also holds me to a semi-consistent schedule and gets the comic out in a tenable way!
So WHEN can you expect Chapter 3? The answer I have for you now is "when it's done." IE. The second I'm done with the final page of Chapter 3, I'll be posting all the pages online free for everyone at once in all the places (on Godslayerscomic.com for sure, but probably a bit slower on sites like FA and Deviantart since I have no way of bulk-posting and it's a lot of manual labor.)
The OTHER answer I have for you is "no later than February 1st" I hope for sooner, but the holidays are always crazy and I can't predict how much work I'll get done in December. February 1st is my personal hard deadline, and I will feel bad if I miss it. So far, all the pages I've posted to Patreon (except a couple I am going to fix) are already set to go publicly visible on February 1st. So even IF the chapter isn't complete by then, you'll get to read what's up on Patreon by that point.
Then I'll start working on Chapter 4, which will again be early access to Patrons for a few months. I'm hoping to keep up this schedule for a few chapters, but I want to know if you guys like it or hate it, or need me to try something different. I know it's a bit strange... It makes sense to me though because I consume webcomics in big chunks... so I think by posting 15-20 pages at a time, it might be easier to follow the story. On the other hand, if I'm loving a webcomic enough to pay for it, I'm probably more likely to follow it week-to-week... hence, the early access plan.
