Happy Monday!
Only 30 hours left until the end of our Kickstarter drive for Book Five!
You did it!
You made it to our initial goal of $9k. (covers printing of the book)
You made it to our secondary goal of $12k. (covers printing of the book and shipping to everyone)
Can we make it to our third goal of $15k????
This would give me the funds to finish all of the characters needed for chapter 17!
We’re already almost there. So please take a look.
I sense trouble…
I too, Flurrin. O.O
Can’t wait for this, lets hope we get to see some serious booty kicking. 😉
How awesome would it be if they commandeered it and flew it straight to Serapholis, rather then wreck it for necessity so quickly after acquiring it.
The air ship guesses were right it seems.
niiice. a bit of pirate slapping is exactly what Alex needs. some training. More training. Could it be that Mister “I am not a Pile of Dragon Dung” Nic is not yet to be counted among the dead? ^^ Oh yeah, there’s trouble around.
as for computer renewal … this month I have exhausted my budget for donations already – done the kickstarter thingy. ^^ but next month maybe, something can be arranged again.
Big guy was looking for something he could do to help? 1 smashed pirate ship coming right up. 😀
“We’re not pirates! We’re tourists! Here to visit beautiful freshly-freed Dreamland!”
“…think they’re buying it?”
I’m guessing that since Nic is “gone” the nightmare realm has decided to go ahead and declare war.
“I’ve got a bad feeling about this”
From Felicity’s outburst previously, I think she knows the crew, or at least the captain (pirates have serious turnover problems, this is well-documented).
A turnover problem?!
That’s an understatement – I’m thinking it would be pretty hard to fly if it turned over!
*Ba-dum-bump*
But seriously, the third panel has a real problem with the bowstring turning corners in midair. A taught string will only change direction under pressure, i.e. where something, like her shoulder plate, impinges.
It’s Captain Jack Sparrow. Oh my.
Wait.. if Nic is dead (supposedly), then isn’t Alex king? Shouldn’t he be undoing Nic’s evilness in the capitol or something?
Dwarves are pretty crafty. I wouldn’t be the least surprised if Bognok set his smith’s to fix up the wrecked pirate ship. After all, they left the wreckage on top of the dwarven mountain.
Well it solves Kiwi’s problem of being only able to fly so far without taking a rest at least.
Flash from Asterix comic:
-C-c-captain….I see Alex and his company!
-SINK THE SHIP!!!! I WON’T LET IT IN THE HANDS OF THOSE SCOUNDRELS!!!
-B-b-b-but c-c-c-captain…the ship is an AIRship!
-….
(After the shelf-crushing of the airship)
Paddington: Those pirates are crazy! (or more latinized: Deliri isti piratii – or something like that!)
haha… you make this sound like a grinding RPG XD
well then, if that’s the case, welcome!! would you like to see the capitol, where there is currently no king? Or would you like to see the place where Nic supposedly met his demise but was never found? =D
Your comment and that avatar really do look the part. 😛
I’m quite sure as others have said at this stage it would make more sense to try and capture rather than destroy the ship though. Send the pirates ‘to another dimension!!!!’, sure, but grab the ship.
I have to agree that something looks off with the bowstring in the 3rd panel.
It looks to me like the collision detection on the bowstring is a weee bit off, so where the string is interacting with the armour it has a large square collision roughly between ear level and chest level before sloping back in rather than just at the point of contact.
Having grown up reading Asterix (albeit in French), I have to hand it to you: Asterix for the win!
+1
+1 just for the proper use of a Star Wars reference. +1 again, for well timed quote. 😉
Now, there’s an interesting theory I hadn’t thought of- and a mighty fine one, too! +1 for creativity (and a likely right guess, since it’s not so obvious)!
lol
Sorry for no update for Tuesday.
Stupid computers are still chugging away.
Thanks for your patience. And thanks for the clicks.
The string on the bow, umm, isn’t the shape it should be? I don’t know how to say it but it doesn’t look real I guess.
Why would they keep the Jolly Roger?
damn i want what is in those baloons, keeping the ship afloat… with only 2 and at their small size that stuff must have nice properties, making it quite valuable 😉
A pirate ship during the day? Maybe they are looking to join the other side??
Its not the Jolly Roger, its a portrait of King Alex I 😉
I wonder it will be a Mary Celeste kind of encounter. No one aboard, lifeboats gone, and the crew clearly left in a hurry.
Its not just any pirate ship… It is the same pirate ship that got trashed.
The very same one… or an absolutely identical one… NOT that I imagine it would have been too difficult to mod the textures on the model a tad…
