It's been a week since I last worked on Walthros. Time to get back to it!

Re: Walthros: Renewal
I hope the whole game is finished and released this year! Things have been difficult lately so I haven't been able to get as much creative work done as I'd like.
30 years ago today Bob Surlaw made his debut -
These comics were in Hamster Speak 10 years ago and now they're back, in Twitter form

Re: Walthros: Renewal
Testers were confused by some of the world background established in this zone. I'm reworking it a bit to be more coherent. Change for the better! I'm really curious to see what kind of ways people interpret the backstory.

Re: Walthros: Renewal
Wow, 30 years! Bob's built up some esteem in his years, maybe still pretty low on gravitas.
I thought I would post the links to the HamsterSpeak issues where those comics were published 10 years ago, since it's far more pleasant than Twitter for viewing them. (Because they're in iframes I won't link directly to them, so you can see the rest of these issues.)
HamsterSpeak Volume 60 containing Sky Flyers #1-3
HamsterSpeak Volume 61 containing Sky Flyers #4-6
HamsterSpeak Volume 62 containing Sky Flyers #7-10
Sky Flyers #10 ended on "To be continued", but you never posted any more in HS. Are there more?
Of course, the game updates look great, even if I've been lazy about replying. I was particularly surprised you reformatted all the textboxes, really taking polish seriously.

Re: Walthros: Renewal
There are a bunch more comics, but my scanner died right after I scanned issue #9 all those years ago. I actually JUST got a new one, so I might continue scanning the rest at some point!
Game work has been slow but I caught up on all my bestiary entries, here's the newest monsters.

Re: Walthros: Renewal
Looking at the very first monster graphics I drew in 1997's Walthros vs. the ones drawn for the remake. I'm not a professional but I think I've gotten a lot better!

Wow, the gap is bigger than I remembered.
You should get some sleep! Do you have a stack of googly blobs or a robo-thing on your actual desk?

I honestly can't remember the last time I've had a good sleep, I'm running on a series of daily naps!
My actual desk has all kinds of blobby friends on it
