11/16 Weekly Update

Bugbyte — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 06:13:51 +0000

Well, Aki and Nekos are reunited outside the dream world, but who’s that there with them? (Hint.) Where do we go from here? There will be a preview of next Monday’s page up in the locked section of the forum (you have to register to view it!) sometime tomorrow.

Not a whole lot of other news this week, so here’s the short version of all the stuff that’s been updated:

Fan Stuff: I was going through my Messenger backup folder on my external hard drive and found an MP3 that was made for me a few years ago. It’s the “theme” for Messenger! This never made the fanart page at the time for some reason, but it’s up now.

The Shop: things are all tweaked and looking pretty nice.

The Gallery: A couple of new things up in the Illustrations section.

Other than that, I’ve been working away at the next chapter and I’ve gotten so much done. 2008 was such a busy year for me school and work wise that I never got any comic stuff done. It feels good to have time to do this stuff again, and I’m amazed at how much I’ve gotten done. Hopefully the remainder of 2009 will help make up for that. :)

That’s all I’ve got for now. Vote if you get a chance! ♥

Character Notes

Bugbyte — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:26:33 +0000

After writing up the character bios for the book, I realized that I never fully fleshed out the character profiles on the site itself like I meant to, so that’s going to be one of my ongoing projects for the time being.

So my question, dear readers, is this: What are your questions? If you could ask any of the characters anything, what would you want to know? I want to add more information that people want to see, to make things more interesting.

Leave me some comments and I’ll get to work on it. ;)

Miscellaneous Updates

General back-end updates to the site today, just checking to be sure everything still works. I’ve also installed an extra plugin that will automatically port all my news blogs over to the Messenger LiveJournal Community, if you’re into that sort of thing.

I also don’t think I mentioned it when I put it together, but I’ve also made a Facebook page for the comic, so you can add yourself as a fan if you’d like.

In addition to the technical stuff, I’ve also been working to add in some of the stuff that got lost from the site a couple of years ago when it was hacked. One thing I’ve been meaning to add was the Story Guide, which is basically just a running summary of the story so far in case you missed a detail from earlier on. The story is getting longer and longer all the time, and for something that only updates once a week you might need the occasional refresher.

That’s all for now!
