The 4ums - 003
Senretsu on June 30, 2007
An epic re-enactment of the grand opening day.
'Course, I opened it early ‘Cause I was slacking off on the coding and graphics and it would’ve ended up as another “Coming out shortly before I die” project. Being another project wiped clean off the internet, I said “Fuck it” and cut this comic off right where it is. Yeah. All 3 glorious issues now on DD. XP
Also, Porg's sprite joins the others in the banner. The Idea was that everytime a new character was introduced, he'd become a permanent part of the banner. Never got very far as you can see. ^^;
Me & Porg figured out some plotholes in SG so you should see an update of that some year. Very lethargic recently, we'll see how it all pans out.

Hahahaha, in the 4th frame, you can catch a bit of the "Bum" Icon I designed for "Players" who signed up to the Senretsu 4ums and never posted. The 4ums were a grand experiment in making a forum similiar to gaia online, only owned and operated by Indie Dev's and Pixel Artists. "Players" would sign up for a social experience where posting on the 4ums earned the user upgrades to their avatar. They started as the Bum and worked their way up to more impressive avatars depending on posts. Unfortunately, this had the unintended side effect of creating spam in the forum instead of worthy content. I found myself nerfing the spammers accounts in a vain attempt to "Keep the Game Even". Bad bad bad! That is not how you encourage people to come back! Never nerf accomplishments! Anyway the forum was a spectacular disaster. A very ambitious project nonetheless. I like to think the new discord server that I am working on is the successor to these 4ums.
