It's HaWT!

It's HaWT!

Somehow, on August 23, 2009 (yes, the day before school), I got it into my head that I wanted to make a webcomic. I don’t draw very well, but I thought that maybe the regular practice would help me improve, since I would probably never run out of things to draw. Webcomics also allow browsing back in time, which would mean I get to see my art skills improve as I browse through time. Perfect!

As a writer, this is probably one of my less bloodcurdling stories (I’m going more for ‘funny’ and ‘random’ for this work), since it’s a slow paced rambling narrative about mystery, boats, technology, computers, action, and steampunk. I’m not even sure if I can draw all of those things. But everyone, even myself, will have to wait to see how things will end up, since I myself don’t know what I might decide to do after the first few chapters.

Of course, since I’m in school and have a ton of other stuff to worry about (remember, I’m still writing Ripple and do design websites from time to time) I’ll probably start out publishing one page a week, or even slower, though I don’t plan to start publishing for a while, so I have enough ready in case I get a large assignment. (Next year, maybe?)

So keep your eyes peeled. :D

The first thing I did since writing my last post was get abducted. I was just romping around the internet, minding my own business, when “boing” up pops a conversation window. It was one of my friends (not the mesh friend :P ) with another genius game idea. “Lets make an Uplink MMO!” He even elaborated on how it would be browser based so I could help with it. We would call it Downlink.

I happily and quickly accepted, and soon we were off in planning heaven. Of course that never lasts so we put everything away for while. Or I did, anyway, while he worked on some backend stuff. Finally, I decided it was time for me to do my work, and I took an ugly looking template he made and turned it into a cool looking profile selection screen (think Uplink’s menu) where you can drag profiles around, and drop them on the login and retire buttons. The create form could even let you either type in a new name or drag a retired profile to reuse the name. It was quite simple with jQuery, Continue reading Scribbles »
