Happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrate!
Obviously, this is not all that I've come to say. It's been a bit of a ride for everyone lately, I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed myself, very unsure of the future. Things will get harder for everyone, it's a sad fact of life in these times, but we're going to get through it - and I know it's hard for people to think that.
With that being said, I've been trying to crunch down on getting Solar 7 started. I've asked a pal to help me out with getting it going, so I'm feeling confident that we can make things happen.
So to be clear, here's the plan I'm thinking:
- Start off with shorts.
- To help me and my friend's creative processes, we're going to keep things simple for now before we get started on a real story for Solar 7.
- It might take a while to get the real story going, but I believe it'll be worth it in the end!
- The shorts will just consist of small scenarios to see how characters interact with each other. (Help get familiarized with the cast)
- These shorts will probably not be canon to the main story.
- Will there be a price on this comic?
- I've been vehement about this, the comic will not have to be paid for to read.
- Nobody will have to worry about this now, especially with the shorts, but the only way i can perceive of making money will be through printed copies of the comic, merch, and behind the scenes exclusives.
- We're going through hard times together, and all I really want to do is make something fun for everyone to be able to read without worry of a subscription or one time payment. And my friend agrees with this.
- Where will we be able to read the comic?
- So for now, with as little experience we have right now, we'll be uploading the comic to Comic Fury.
- This is a temporary move in the long run. If we had the chance to in the future, we would probably upgrade to a different place. But for now, this is where we're thinking of uploading to.
- We don't know much about this site, so it'll be a process.
- I will still be posting here about the comic and comic updates, but it won't be the comic itself.
- We are considering Patreon, but not as a place to upload the comic. Only for behind the scenes if people so choose to subscribe to. (Think of it as a donation to keep our chins up.)
- How often will you upload?
- I'm not going to pressure me and my friend to worry about a tight schedule. This is basically a passion project, so we're taking it at a pace good for us!
