I'm Baaack!
I tried to type that like Randy Quaid said it in Independence Day but it was an epic fail. grrrr......
So, do you know what the worst part of being indie and not knowing what the fork you are doing is? Well.... that would be not knowing what the fork you are doing and not even realizing it until you are in the middle of something. So, I found out why not many comics have games integrated. Well.... it turns out they are hard to make, time consuming, and there is a fair amount of crap you have to figure out that I did figure out, but still have no idea how I got it done. Like literally, these provisioning profiles, keys, certificates.... blah, blah, blah will kick your butt. However, I think I have it down to some sort of rhythm now and actually have the next 3 updates ready to go, as in they just have to be uploaded on time. So, for at least the next 3 weeks, I am PRETTY sure I can update on time on let's pick Thursday for now. I am so forkin' Indie. I am going to be better about the RSS feed now....... or at least I will try to be. cough cough So... this Thursday, we have a comic and we will have another comic on next Thursday (6/12), and a game to be posted on (6/19). The game on 6/19 will at least be in flash, but I hope there will be links to download a FREE app to the game element. I am pretty sure there will be no problem with Android users, but I have no control over Apple. I submitted my app and I am hopeful. Please (insert deity of choice here) let the reviewers at Apple be in a good mood. :)
OK, so why am I so fixated on adding games to the comic? Well, I really think this will make a difference in my comic. Let's be honest. There are probably more gamers than comic readers and if I combine the two then I will likely be able to get more readers and reach more people. Also, I am not completely delusional (only partly). I do not have fabulous art and my story line is bizarre (on purpose mind you, but it is bizarre) :) I suppose I could have given up on the games and just gone back to updating, but that is so not me. I am totally that person that just will not give up and have no interest in the same old same old. OK, I do sometimes get depressed when I have health issues pop up (grrr), but I get over it and get "back in the saddle" and ride that dead horse into the ground.
Until next Thursday,
xoxo
Tess :)
