Like Erfworld, Balder thrives on the needlessly complex.

Unlike Erfworld, Balder doesn't have acces to Deus Ex Machinae or Plot.

My main issue will be that he's going to focus even harder on world building by taking the focus off the story he's telling. Side stories are fine for fleshing things out, but it can't start to be a main focus. Leaving some mystery is good, we're already used to seemingly Deus Ex Machinae so there's no real need to justify everything that'll happen in advance.

Imagine if Star Wars had a 10 minute segment in the middle of the movie where we saw what various background characters got the spotlight cause George Lucas named them all.

What's the countdown to him making his own game based on Erfworld? Or an animated show?

I'm actually kind of interested to see what would happen if Parson just forced Charlie to sign a contract promising not to be a dick.

He isn't a literal penis so the contract would never be broken.

Gotta put some more effort in pulling a fast one on Charlie when it comes to contracts.

I lost interest the first time Erfworld became a webnovel instead of a comic, and now I've lost interest again where it's all prologue, all the time. Has anything interesting happened with all the introductions?

To borrow some parlance from Erfworld, this comic is growing stale.

While I can appreciate them having another crisis that needs urgent attention, just ell oh ell that it might require putting the webcomic on hiatus for the rest of the year. I've not clicked the bookmark I have for it in about 2 months now, I think I'll just delete it.

Calling it now, the Venn diagram of ErfWorld supporters and Star Citizen supporters is a circle.

A 3D model is something more than a jpeg, at least.

For the record, I have now wasted yet another hour when I could have been writing Erfworld.



Someone should get on Twitter and reply that to every post of his that isn't a comic.

I'm surprised this wasn't flexible funding. Come to think of it, what's the point of having whole individual campaigns for each cgi tool instead of just selling them all the time?

By having it as a kickstarter the reward is in the more nebulous future and stuff can go wrong. Just selling them requires you to have a decent thing to sell right now.

I feel like we should open up a betting pool or something on how many pages in a row they reuse the same pose.

Balder has finally learnt that it is better to show, not tell. Thus, he will no longer just write the same event transpiring 7 times, each time from a different point of view. Now he will show each character from a different point of view as well, increasing the mileage he gets out of his writing tenfold.
