Now it's pretty unlikely that people are checking the site out right now (Since it's been 3 months since my last new comic), and even less likely that anyone's checking the news (It's kind of an eyesore, might have to fiddle with the code there), but for those few people who fit the cross-section of that Venn diagram - rejoice!
You are the first to hear that the first two comics of "The Yoshi Herd" have been re-released, in glorious pretty-sprites-edition.
I call this 'Operation Beautifly', and the goal is to revamp the comics in terms of story, pacing, delivery and style. The key features will remain the same - Ruby is still Ruby, Yoshi is still the idiot savant you know and love and the Triforce will still assume the form of Troshi as necessary.
That last one could be a bit hit-or-miss, I dunno. Point is it's going to be the same, but better. Cutting out the filler, replacing it with delicious cream.
Comments are being retained, for better or worse, so feel free to read about my early struggles against simple Paint and Flash functionality, or my since-reviled ability to drag a joke out for far too long and crack in-jokes that hold no place on the internet.
So I gave the site design a minor face-lift.
There's still a couple of kinks in it, because I decided to mess around with the code a little too much; if you see any errors, please inform me and I will fix it up.
I'm still undecided on this, but I might be taking a break from updates on the weekend after Christmas; regardless of whether or not I do, I'd like to wish everyone here a Merry Christmas, and also I'd like to hope that next year can be as good as this one has for The Yoshi Herd!
I mean, never in my life had I expected for TYH to be such an astounding success... Of course, I hoped and dreamed, but an average of 64 favourites just from the Smack Jeeves community? If I had the money, I'd actually get the comic onto its own domain to see how well it'd go.
Seriously. You guys rock.
So, TYH's 200th comic is coming up. To be honest with you, I'd completely forgotten, but the fans have reminded me and I'm beginning preparation.
Any cameos need to have sprites, between 16-bit and 32-bit (Basically, all I require is shading). It'll just be a simple party, maybe out on one of the massive Mario levels, so just post/PM your sprites and character details, since I'll have them speaking and interacting instead of just standing.
Any other questions? Just ask.
It would seem that on "The Yoshi Herd", I get more and more moronic buffoons leaving stupid comments by the day. That is, of course, an exaggeration, but one comment leads to A BILLION MORE. I guess that the better your comic gets, the more people read it, and the more IDIOTS read it.
Anyway, I have now prevented guests from commenting. Don't try and complain, because you brought this on yourself.
So, I am just about on school holidays again. Does this mean I will be reverting to a daily schedule for TYH?
Not just yet. There's one thing I've been meaning to comic for a while now, which will relieve some of the monotony in the current plot. That's right, a mini-plot. Not just any regular mini-plot, it's a contest.
The next update will see the beginning of this plot; keep your eyes peeled.
The Cast Page has had a significant overhaul. The two biggest features are the removal of the quotes, and the newer, better, not-ripped-from-the-comic pictures. I also showed off Toadette and Mario's latest sprites.
On a sadder note, I'm afraid I'll be returning to school Tuesday. That means... No more dailies. Sorry, guys.
Yes, I'm entering my daily mode of comicking once more. This current saga (Split Screen) ended earlier than even I anticipated, but this gives me a fair deal of room to work on the next plot. You are GUARANTEED to get at least 30 comics worth out of it. Why? I can't tell you just yet, but it'll all become apparent in time.
