Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 10:41AM | in Comics I just finished a new graphic novel - the first in a series I'm working on that will dig a reality tunnel through the universe of a video game series. Crazy stuff, but I'm the linear guy on the project (if you can believe that) so it's not quite as brain-decimating as it could be.
Here's the preview, along with a trailhead:

It should be available as a printed volume of 120 pages or so in a few months.
Writing for gamers is harder than writing for regular people because I actually feel more obligated to make it work on many levels at once. Gamers spend thousands of hours in a world, so it really has to be true down to levels of granularity an author could ignore in almost any other medium. But it's great to know people are going as deep into this material as I am. Way more intimate a sensation, really.

Yay Doug! Can't wait to pick it up!
And you're the linear one? Damn.
Liked the site and the zooms. Very granular! And 120 pages might be enough. Congrats! I think you will discover yourself to be an excellent linearist. Damn, indeed!

I know. There's like 11 panels on some of those pages, when the script called for 4 or 5. This seems to work really well online, where people can zoom in - but I'm a little scared of what happens on the page. Maybe I can get them to fund a giant format size....that would be cool.
The comic looks great and is supported beautifully by the elegant reader client. Is that a third party piece of software used elsewhere, or was it developed specifically for this project?
Looks quite stunning Doug. Would be good to get hold of the printed version. Will have to look out for it on Amazon or some such. I can't imagine you doing linear!
I'm going home tonight to take a pick, i'm very excited about this (clearly you see how sad and crazy i am about shoes.) Will post the picture gmwymi gmwymi - mulberry alexa outlets.
