Page Six

Posted by Ed On May 5, 2012 ADD COMMENTS

We’re up to page six and the main fight hasn’t started yet… These stories will be similar in length to KINGDOM (7 pages give or take) but this first one will be longer as I want to set things up so the reader gets a context for the fighting. Loving working on it so far.

SVG for page content?

Posted by Ed On May 3, 2012 ADD COMMENTS

Rasterised text (text that has been converted to image) looks crap when scaled. Looking at ways to combine images with vector text for the dialogue – SVG looks like it could fit the bill, or potentially layered PNG files. will test

Most of the pattern is taken from the classic playing card, there were not skulls or bullets in the original however.

New layout for GOLEM, KINGDOM

Posted by Ed On April 24, 2012 ADD COMMENTS

I’ve updated the player page for Golem and Kingdom to run the updated player in the new layout. It hides most of the support information and/or moves it to a status bar,  so is a lot cleaner in general and puts the focus square on the story as it should be.

May be bugs, currently beta.

Golem – now viewable via iPad

Posted by Ed On April 19, 2012 ADD COMMENTS

Golem can now be viewed on an ipad – best viewed with the ipad3/HD. I’ll be looking to update the player and the content to allow HD versions above the current 920X604 and 1000×600 dimensions for the stories.  Won’t be happening before BINARY is finished.

KINGDOM SIX – Revised

Posted by Ed On April 19, 2012 ADD COMMENTS

Kingdom Part 6 was uploaded 2010 This story was first taken down completely and then modified to its current state. A misogynistic piece of work that used a cheap shock tactic which I  thought would have weight, given that it highlighted the primary driver for the main Kingdom story arc.

Want to see if your mom was a skank Boyd?

On one level it was ugly, presenting the vicious no holds barred abusive side of social networking/message board posting. This largely holds up but as a whole the story was to cheap and exploitative, and had to be reduced.
