Weird West

I'm... possibly done with the comic? It didn't turn out great because I didn't import any of my paper sketches or make a final thumbnail. I just opened Procreate and drew directly. The only way to really improve it would be to scrap it and start over. I don't think I am going to do that. I'll decide whether to post it or scrap it in the morning.





The game was clearly made primarily for consoles, so mouseykeyboard is a bit awkward. Tapping E and Pressing E are different inputs. Hit a key too hard or too long and the game does a different thing. I kept burying bodies instead of looting them, so I kept having to grave rob -and lose reputation- to get coins and weapons.

Or maybe I can see a few small tweaks in the morning that will make me feel better about it. Wait, Did I give the Recruit 6 fingers on his right hand in that last panel? Yup. GG me.

Taking the time to have done the set up for this project right would have saved me time. It's a mess. Ah well, it's also a dumb joke that I need to get out the door.

The explanation makes me laugh. It's like hitting the wrong button and accidentally Doing A Crime (I wasn't trying to *steal* your book, I just wanted to look at it!) turned up to 11. And the idea of a character just being SO INTO GRAVEROBBING that they bury bodies solely to dig them up again is a good one.

That does sound like a frustrating button layout, though. I'm really not good at things like that, ha.

Yeah, I kept losing rep due to 'grave robbing'. I am way too into the weird unintentional situations and narratives games make :)

I love the weird shit like that implied by game mechanics. "Yes, I did just stop to eat this entire cheese wheel in one bite in the middle of this fight." "Having the ability to hold an infinite number of portable television sets as throwing weapons makes perfect sense."
