Update Schedule After Chapter 1
TLDR: Updates will be slower after chapter 1, maybe 2 times a year, but I will release more pages with each batch (1/4-1/2 of a chapter every post). Did this because the current schedule isn't working for me, and next year I will be even busier with university.
What changes am I making?
After chapter 1, I am going to be updating far less. I was already pretty scarce with updates, but now I'm reducing it to whenever I finish a batch of pages. No exceptions, no rushing. I estimate this will be maybe 2-3 times a year. However, these updates will be bigger batches of pages, pretty much most of a chapter at a time (think 1/4-1/2 of a chapter). This way you guys can get more content for the amount of time you wait!
Why are you making these changes?
I feel like setting the bar so low for myself made me feel like if I didn't make pages quickly, I was kinda wasting everyones time. If I force myself to do something, I have a really hard time starting it. Giving myself more time to work on a lot of pages will make me feel less pressured to update, and even if I take a while, the end result feels a lot more rewarding to me.
Also a big issue I've have with this comic has been writing and pacing. Because I would make 2 pages every post, I wouldn't really consider how my writing or pacing would affect future pages. This is just a fan comic, so I'm not too bothered by it, but idk. I just feel like I'll be alot happier with this project if I give myself time to create more pages in tandem with each other and plan more.
The biggest reason I will be doing it this way going forwards however, is that my first year at uni has made me realize I just don't have time to be updating this comic as much as I have been. I will go weeks at a time solely trying to meet a deadline, without any time for even personal artwork. Next year, it will be way busier, so I just can't keep up with this anymore (yes, even at the snails pace I was already updating at lol)
Is the project going to die?
I don't think so. If I am going to abandon it, I will let you all know and will release info on what would've happened. If I ever for any reason don't update for a very long time, please assume I will someday come back to this project until I announce it's over. If you want to check if I'm still active, feel free to send me an ask on this blog, or my main blog @speevtheteev
Thank you guys for being so patient! I know it's super annoying waiting for short updates on this little project. I'm more active on my main blog if you are interested in seeing what else I am up to :)
