If there is a Skyrim remake/port coming for the Nintendo Switch like the rumours say, I now know which character I will make for it. So even if the webcomic about Katia is dead, Katia herself will live.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Nah, that would feel like a waste of money, considering I already have Skyrim on my old PS3. Having the same game on PS4, just with better graphics? I'd feel like I'd bought the same game twice.

I'd prefer to have a Nintendo-version for a change of pace. At least this way I can rationalize the cost away by pretending it's different because it's Nintendo

Or maybe I just restart on PS3 to save money.

Not a real update, but Kaz put up the side story that was previously included with the merch shipments in printed form. He also didn't actually put a link to it anywhere on the site.

This must involve TES lore, which I'm not especially familiar with, so I don't get it.

Also, why is it in black and white?

Most of the side-stories have been in black&white so it's not too surprising that this one is as well.
As for what it's about, in Oblivion there was one side-quest that took the player to the remote village of Hackdirt to find the missing daughter of a merchant from one of the main cities: the whole thing is basically Bethesda's take on the Lovecraft's novella The Shadow Over Innsmouth with the village being populated by cultists venerating the Deep Ones and sacrificing travellers to them.

The Quill-Weave side stories are black & white because she's colorblind.
The Asotil one is in black & white so Kaz wouldn't have to pay for color ink.

For some reason I'm getting a 404 on that link, but the same link from the side stories section does work (it's linked there now). Also the site status has changed to 'working on post-merch update'.

I renamed the page when I properly linked it on the site. Given that the only links to the old URL are now buried in the comment section, I'll probably go back and put something really cool there once everyone has forgotten about it.

The actual story behind that is I wanted to try to make the comic look like an old printed book, so I kept it monochrome, printed it on laid paper, and manually went through the text to add the sort of kerning errors you see in 1800s-era printing.

Of course, I kind of broke the whole printing press thing on the images. Stippling or crosshatching just doesn't work at all with a flat art style like this.

It's almost reader driven comics live off of momentum or something??? And the reason many of them use simple art or art that can be copy/pasted may have something to do with that?????

Anyhow, I'd love to keep posting but I just had a great idea for my next animation: rotoscoping! I'm sure this process whose own creator discovered was time consuming and laborious in 1918 is going to help me really crank this next update out in no time at all, while simultaneously dealing with the aftermath of a successful crowdfunding and whatever other projects I'm working on in addition to my normal real life job since there's no way I'm making enough from this for it to be my only job!

Wish me luck!

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
There was one option for input early on that I'm not sure exactly what it influenced (I *think* it was mainly what it looked like for Allison to traverse the void into Throne for the first time), then we got a character named although that was a bit indirect (that being Preem Nand), then it was generating a bunch of side characters for a giant fight scene, then there was a thing to make outfits for Allison that would appear later, then there was the creation of a whole bunch of the gods, and then it was generating a whoooooooole bunch of names for the binding of a devil (devils getting less powerful the more names that they have), who now has the unfortunate moniker of "Princess Mamoru Moonshine Jagermeister Jack Jacck Daniels Timothy Tim Bill Freddy Mercury Blueberry Luna Esquire" (she is not very happy about it)

If not 2016, then 2017, almost definitely.

I'm really not an animal person. Most people I know aren't. Like, comic aside, it may have actually been more than a year since I've seen a cat in real life. This should explain the Bartholomew-levels of cat comprehension in my artwork. Don't shatter my fragile psyche by telling me that cats don't have boobs, or that their eyes don't actually reach all the way up onto their ears.

But yeah, sorry about the delays; I'm doing a complex thing that requires some specialized resources I can't produce myself. It has been a fun adventure that I am absolutely never doing again. On the other hand, if you wanted the comic to not update: you're welcome! I love all of you equally, and I did this just for you.

Sadly, no matter how intricate and amazing that update may be, the lead up time will make it underwhelming. Unless you do something truly spectacular, like proving P=NP as a nonchalant side note, it will feel bland at best.
