And over $10,000 more than book one's KS, with roughly 200 more backers and an extra $1.60 donated per backer! I didn't actually start reading until after last year's double updates were finished, so I'm excited for July! :getin:

I put in some cash for it too, I didn't get to back for the first time but this is a consistently great series that deserves publication. Great art, characters and story...oh, and on a steady schedule as well! (Seriously, its a drat rarity and Digi's work must be hard to pull off!)

Poor Princess Piano (And everyone's ears too). :(

So are we getting two more months out of that extra 10K we gave? The 20K between the two final stretch goals was supposed to cover four months, so it would seem kinda crummy if we didn't.

You get used to it. I don't
even see the code. All I see
is Ipecac, Scapular, Polyphemus...


Considering it seems like Gigi sometimes just can't resist throwing out bonus updates whenever she feels like it, I don't think it'll really matter that much, in the end.

Also that's not really how stretch goals work.

Cabbage has way too much jerkface. There won't be any room left for anyone else's face.

Also, really digging Noisemaster's eye, if that's what it is. Characters that manage to be expressive without a "face" as we know it are always fun.

I just shotgunned the whole thing in a few hours, and I have to say this is amazing. I'm getting some serious Paper Mario vibes, and the first one's one of my favorite games, so I'm super pumped to see how this goes.

I can't wait for Saturday to come back. :allears:

Look into my eyes.
The visual parallels with Jet Set/Grind Radio have already been made (especially re: Noisemaster's design), but I've been really reminded of the fantastic use of color and patterns/screentones (especially to depict light and shadow) in the recent Jojo's Bizarre Adventure series.



I don't think that there's a direct link, but I will welcome any crazy, hyper-saturated, neon craziness that I come across.

Then by all means take a peek at Gigi's tumblr, I'm sure you'll like it.

Something about this feels kinda hinky
The Ripple Kingdom had Splashmaster, a splash being a more destructive ripple. The Melody Kingdom has Noisemaster, and noise is a destructive sort of melody. Clearly, the eventual return to the Doughnut Kingdom will reveal Paczkimaster.

He certainly seems to have things more together than the last guy. I was actually thinking all the disaster masters were going to be horribly incompetent.

Come to think of it, the colors remind me of 90s toys, especially G2 Transformers. Those were eye-searingly garish, like a bunch of extreme colors were slapped on randomly. They're gorgeous.

I imagine they'll gradually get more and more competent as they go, following the usual video game rules.

You can definitely see why the Nightmare Knight has a lot more confidence in Noisemaster than he did in Splashmaster.

Though from what we've seen so far, I suspect Noisemaster's weakness might be good ol' monologuing. Guy likes the sound of his own voice a bit too much (though who can blame him?)

E: whoops, forgot the link.
