So is this supposed to end with Katja staring at the shopkeeper or is there something else I'm not considering?

I enjoyed this a lot more than the latest Homestuck flash, and I can't think of any higher praise than that. Everybody involved should be super proud of themselves.

So, does the flash actually have an ending point? EDIT: Found. I assume the spoiler above is right. Megazver fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Oct 25, 2011 |

I know everyone's been saying it, but that's because it's true - this was an amazing walkaround flash, it was so packed with detail and humour all around. I'm glad that things didn't turn out horribly for Katia, too. Great work.

A tit bounce animation and a pole dancing minigame. I really like Prequel and don't mind these, but I can't shake the feeling there's someone out there furiously masturbating to this.

Boy, I really hope (Oblivion spoilers)the Norse dance instructor makes it out okay when Kvatch burns. He was pretty okay. The old Redguard guy too. Even the count seemed okay, Katia just didn't want to share a screen with him.

Maybe I missed something, but when I got to the orphanage (and to that Argonian family) I was expecting a joke about how there aren't any children in Oblivion.

Thanks everyone! And yeah, the scene after she enters the bookstore is the "end". The next update will pick up right from that panel (except in a slightly better resolution).idonotlikepeas posted:I only wish you'd released it sometime other than when Hussie put out the end of act flash so you could get more attention. Dolash posted:Yeah flash-wise the timing is hilarious(ly bad). I'm actually not sure it was an overall bad thing. My initial plan was to release during that update lull while Andrew Hussie finished his Homestuck animation, but after schoolwork slowed me down it became clear that I was going to end up finishing within one day of him. At that point I began to realize that a simultaneous release might have benefits of its own. Sure, there would be something big potentially overshadowing me, but it also meant there would be vastly increased traffic in all the forums, chans, and channels that talk about MS Paint Adventures. A huge chunk of my audience (and potential audience) would simultaneously be online, all excited and talking to eachother. I also began to consider that a simultaneous release might lead to a longer-lasting impact. If I released a couple days prior to the Homestuck EoA, my update might be perceived as nothing more than a small time-killer before the EoA. If I released after, it might be regarded as nothing more than a pretty cool afterthought. Updating at the same time as Homestuck, however, had the potential for them perceived as a single entity; to make people be like "holy poo poo there were two big updates today" without necessarily showing favoritism.  Overall, it seems like it worked out about as I expected. While I can't attribute this effect to the simultaneous update with certainty, chatter on the internet seems to support my general hypotheses about the increased word-of-mouth advertising and perception of both updates as a single "10/25 entity". In retrospect, though, there was one unanticipated factor that worked powerfully in my favor: the two updates worked as complements rather than competitors. When Andrew was refusing to post the Homestuck update on Youtube, I was worried that it would be some charming, fully-interactive adventure game that would make my walkaround seem like old news. Ultimately, however, the two updates ended up being very different things. I mean, while in one update children are deciding the fate of universes, in the other one a cat is ecstatic about finding a fork. I think the long-term effects of the simultaneous update are probably beneficial as well. The MSPA flash was amazing, but afterwards I found myself left with a feeling of "okay, what now?". By contrast, the last Prequel update was intentionally designed to draw people back several times, help them plot Katia's next moves, and inspire a bit of minigame score competition. Since the MSPA update got everyone hyped up, I'm suspecting that I'll be able to reap the benefits from that. Of course, this is all speculation. Only time will tell whether this spike actually represents a significant long-term increase in readership.

I haven't read any of it and doubt I'll ever get the motivation to slog through the backlog, but maybe it's time to wrap things up when your characters have evidently attained godhood.

That does seem to be the plan from here on out, but of course "wrapping up" is relative. It was always meant to be an elaborate creation myth though, even if it wasn't obvious for a long time.

Haledjian posted:I don't know how to play the dance game Push the arrow keys or spacebar to influence the yellow bar. Keep it close to the goal marker to get a better score. Watch your stamina so you don't run out and are unable to move the yellow bar when it needs to move. That's it. If you get over 15000 points you've essentially beaten the minigame and you'll get some more favorable dialogue.

Magnus Condomus posted:Kazerad has said before that he throws stuff like that in just to mess with that percentage of his audience.  yes, to "mess" with them rightBut seriously, the "tit bounce animation" occurs one or two times and is barely acouple pixels, you really REALLY have to be fixated on Katia's breasts to even notice it. I didn't even realize it was there until someone posted a gif on another forum. And the poledance is a continuation of the humor of Katia's hosed up past life. Nothing here is a huge departure from the rest of the comic. Nothing here is an elaborate mind game on the furry audience or anything like that, it's just the comic being the comic. I can't believe people are talking so much about it like it's something shocking or out of place when we have running gags like the lockpick and the pineapple and the drawn-on underwear and other jokes about the main character being silly, awkward, and inappropriate.

I've got to agree. I read through the entire thing last night and I think I enjoyed it a lot more than I have Homestuck. I think it's mostly an issue of scope: Homestuck's gotten way too convoluted for its own good and is starting to suffer from a narrative perspective as a result (At least in my opinion). What I think makes Prequel more appealing to me is the fact that's based more of the main character and her simple goals. Like a milestone for Homestuck is making a universe blow up or something, a milestone in prequel is Kat making it to the next town without hurting herself

Silentman0 posted:There's absolutely nothing sexual about the lockpick gag and I will defend this to my death The easy answer to that requires only two points to be made: 1) in Oblivion, when you get arrested, all your stuff gets confiscated except for one lockpick and 2)female characters don't get two. That pretty much leaves one option.
