just wanted to pop in and say that i’ve come back to reread alterity many, many times over the years (i first discovered it sometime during highschool— i’m several years out of college undergrad now) and it’s been incredibly fundamental in my appreciation for good worldbuilding. you guys have created a rich, fantastical world that still manages to feel grounded in reality. hoenn has always been very near and dear to my heart purely for how much time i spent running around exploring the region as a kid, and you’ve really managed to capture that same feeling of wonder and intrigue in the lore you’ve built here.
regardless of whether or not the comic is updated going forward, thank you for all the love and hard work you’ve put into it over the years! truly one of the greatest pokemon fanworks out there, in my humble opinion.
Thanks so much for the kind words, they made my day. I’m so happy that Alterity was able to inspire you and still brings you joy. There’s a lot I’d change about the pacing if I were to redo it from scratch, but I’m still proud of the worldbuilding. The Pokemon world has such rich possibilities and it was incredibly fun to explore and expand on them. Super happy that you enjoyed the outcome too.
Unfortunately I no longer have 15-30 extra hours per week to pour into comic-making, and we’re not quite to the point where I can magically transplant the story straight from my brain to the Internet.
