#23: Get behind the sniper's shield
boilman on April 19, 2007
Aaaaand another one. I am starting to run out of comments in this box here X_X
It's pretty late here, but my parent aren't home now, so I'm safe. But I spend a good part of my evening making this comic. Again, Joe sprites are PD. The Joes are attacking like this: Create a crosshair where Rock stands, if he stands in a bit too long, fire some volleys of three shots at him. The upgraded versions can also extend the lines of their crosshair, which is also something you must not stand on. The further upgraded do the same, but faster and can attack with two at once. Also, you can not see what Joe is aiming, until he actually starts shooting.
Is it just me, or have my comics lost their ‘touch’? I keep making them with joy and whatnot, but they somehow seem like they lost their shine. Or is it just me?
NO blank comments people. Blank comments will get warned.

Update, damnit.

Are you ever updating again? I miss this comic.

damn it...

oh, and Crimson... *psst* you might wanna check the last sentence in my blurb up there. No worries, this comic is so old, I don't care about blank comments in something as old as this one.

Wow, what the... people are actually still checking this comic out? Cool. People, I wish I could make new comics again. But my moue is screwed over too bad to do anything. I can't drag and drop at all, so making a comic is pretty much excluded. When I have new mouse, I'll certainly update this comic.

Hmm, I've been playing alot on my flashcard latel, and we all know what new games can do to your free time, right? Here's the deal. Today would normally be my update day, and I'll skip it. The comic will return on Tuesday, I hope.

Keep up the good work and update!I can't wait to see what happens next!

we would really like to Boilman!
boilman at 5:23AM, May 16, 2007
People are still reading this? That makes me happy. Iôll try to update again as soon as possible.

I FAVED A LOOOOOOONG TIME AGO. OH, I JUST GOT BATTLE NETWORK 4 AND 5 FOR ã15 ALTOGETHER! YAY FOR ME!
boilman at 12:30AM, May 9, 2007
Oh, and of course, it's always nice to have a new person who favorited this comic. Thanks eh?
boilman at 12:28AM, May 9, 2007
That's also the main solution I came up with. If anyone wants to help me alittle with the sprites, feel free to ask, but otherwise, I'll be fine myself.

A If you don't have everything in order, it won't look as good as it would if you did have everything. I like this comic; dunno why I never looked to into it. xD Fav'd
boilman at 10:05AM, May 5, 2007
So, the votes are one for each? I'll just leave it open to improvisation, I guess XD IF I update again, then probably on Tuesday. BUT, because that will sort of be the date I receive my flash card, I will be too busy playing Jump Ultimate stars and Ryuusei. But I'll manage a way to update.

Just so you know, I say C.
boilman at 1:06PM, May 4, 2007
Okay, so one vote for A, and one for B. I dunno what I am going to do when it hits a tie, but it might even be C. Just to piss you people off :P

Ah, thank you. BTW, i have a tiny request for the people viewing this. You think I should: A)Keep the comic on hiatus till I have everything sorted out. B)Update my secondary comic instead. C)Update this comic, from the villians perspective (ctually planned way later). Voting goes until saturday.
masterdx at 7:36PM, May 2, 2007
wow ... i just came across your sprite comic and i like it! BTW meghom is awesome!
boilman at 11:06AM, May 2, 2007
Don't bother too much about it. I don't think front views are too hard, and I already have a base in mind for rock facing backwards. The stage is done already. Besides, the only reson I am doing this is because i want to improve. I need to do this. Don't worry too much.
dark link at 5:08AM, May 2, 2007
aw, shit!
boilman at 1:54PM, May 1, 2007
There won't be updates in a while, probably. Why? Not because I am sick of this. Not because I don't know where to go with it. Not because I don't have enough characters. It's monotony. Not in the making, but in the battles. The battles always lacked compared to my normal comics. Because I was way to monotonous with it. No zooms, no perspectives, etc. But I plan to change that. Better visuals, less monotony, less everything bad. To do this, tough, I need more sprites. More then I have now. I'll need to make a couple of custom sprites, navis facing both forward and backwards, and I need to complete my battle background. Until that is done, this comic will be on hiatus. So far, I got the back view done, with special thanks to SovietCommando.

[quote]Then again, if your comic gets a 5, then it doesn't need much improvement, right?[/quote] Whahahaha...Hahaha! Obviously, you've never read bad comics before. Alot of BAD bad sprite comics out here get rated 5, almost 10 per page. Without comment. THat while they have recolors, no script, rip something off, no decent backgrounds, everything is quicly put together, and more grammar mistakes then a dyslexic person while waking up. Most of the time, all at once. So tell me, if those comics get rated 5's, does it mean they don't need to improve? And, a comment, you can work with. A number someone put because the hell of it? not so much.
zoopzoopzoopzoop987 at 12:41PM, April 29, 2007
I've now read through the whole comic, and it's pretty interesting! Although, I find the 'No blank comments or I'll report you' rule to be somewhat unfair. After all, a rating of 5 is just as good as a comment/critique/suggestion. Then again, if your comic gets a 5, then it doesn't need much improvement, right? That's just my two cents. You have an awesome comic here! Can't wait for the next update.
boilman at 3:07AM, April 21, 2007
Actually, they ARE tough. And those are only the weakest versions of them. Maybe, later in the comic the other Joes will also make an appearance.
