New layout, and book progress update
My goodness, it's sure been a while since the last blog update, huh? I...guess I've just been busy? But yesterday I changed the whole main site layout, which I've meant to do for a while now but haven't had the time to finish it up. I still liked the old main site, but it's been the same for well over a year and sometimes you just have to shake things up a little. It was time for something lighter. Here's what the old layout looked like in case someone already forgot, it was here from the very beginning of the comic (of course you can also find the old version through the internet wayback machine if you want to:
And a quick update on how the book prep is going: it's going well! All the heavy fixing and bonus content making is behind me, the only thing I need to do is write the afterword and some short image texts for the back of the book before I can send the whole interior to be proof read. Gosh darn was there a lot to fix with the page originals though, I don't understand why I've saved so many pages without speech bubbles. Why would I do that? I'm eternally happy that none of the pages were missing or ruined to the point of having to redraw/recolor any of them though.
I'll post the back-of-book tutorial here as a blog post soon-ish (since it wasn't supposed to be book exclusive like the bonus comic pages), but for today here's this other thing: a few people requested a translation of Lalli's moon spell to be included somewhere, and I think that's a great idea so this is going to be in the back of the book too:
Aaaand there's a version of it on the updated about page, over here. I guess I'll eventually collect Lalli's spells this way as they come up in the comic.
That's it for today! I might post the comic walkthrough this week even so maybe we'll see each other here before the new chapter starts on Tuesday. Oh, and a little tip for anyone planning on making a print comic in their life: don't leave little errors and unfinished things hanging around in your page originals and go "oh, well, it's such a tiny fix, future me can take care of that when it's time to put the book together" because future you will end up with 300 pages of tiny little fixes and will really want to murder past you. Just so you know!
