It actually *was* quite a while since I was able to share a progress update, oops! That thesis paper work I kept mentioning in prior updates is finally behind me - after a successful defense of said paper a few days ago I graduated college and obtained a bachelor's degree. With a good bit more free time on my hands for the time being I'm now officially in crunch mode to get Batch 4 (and thus the entirety of Episode 2) finished and released.

Batch 3 is now out!
This time around I won't be able to give even a vague release date for Batch 4 (the last one for Episode 2) as I really need to focus on other personal matters beforehand - it won't be too long before I'll be able to share more though, so stay tuned and enjoy the new pages!

Yet another Batch 3 status update: it’s over halfway done! As of me writing this post I have 11 pages finished with 9 left to go. I can now give a more precise release date - with the current pace of progress, accounting for still ongoing work on the thesis paper, I’ll be able to release Batch 3 in very late (as in, the very last days of) August with a very real posibility of a slight delay into early September. I’ll see how it turns out once I get closer to release.

To put into perspective how slow progress is right now, ever since Batch 2's release I have only finished 2 pages. I have put most of my attention towards thesis paper work but whenever I have time and some remaining motivation I do tinker on the comic still, so rest assured I haven't completely stopped. A vague August release still seems viable.

Batch 2 is now out!
19 pages to compensate for Batch 1’s 21 pages, just so that the total page amount is now a nice round number again.
It’s still faaar too early to decide on Batch 3’s release date. My uni obligations + thesis paper work needs to take priority after all, but if I had to make even a vague estimate… somewhere in August? We’ll see when we get there. Until then, enjoy!

Batch 2 comes out May 16th!

I only have 4 pages left to draw in Batch 2 buuuut the irl obligations still complicate things, so I still can't share a specific release date quite yet. It could be up as early as this month or as late as somewhere in June, I'll share said date as soon as things clear up

Progress on Batch 2 is still ongoing, though due to irl obligations it's also slow. I plan on releasing it somewhere around late June, but we'll see

Development of Episode 2 is progressing pretty well, late February still appears doable to upload the first batch of pages in. In the meantime, I did an amateur post-mortem commentary about Episode 1's development where I somehow fail basic spoken English. Come and see

This month I began work on Episode 2: Fugitives From Beyond the Stars.
It'll be updated in a 20-page batch format whenever they're ready, and I feel decently confident saying the first batch should be ready somewhere in February 2025.
