It's been too hot here to feel like drawing so I've been doing some programming in Construct instead, putting together some bits and bobs to do a sort of graphic adventure/visual novel story thing. It really doesn't feel worth doing traditional comics anymore and I've been wanting to do something like this for years.
I hit a brick wall plenty of times but I eventually got my head around how Construct likes you to do things. I've even started to swap the code out to be data driven (which was it's own hind of hell to get working.) I think I need to write a simple editor to position the art and text and save that out to data as opposed to doing it all by hand - but it doesn't seem impossible.
Anyway here's the playable mess of bits that I put together in the evenings since Christmas. Just some video playback, and a couple of screens with hot-spots to click.
But it's a start.
