Hey, here are the remaining WIPS of the comic episode, maybe some got repeated? maybe.. but I didn't made the animated gifs.
Alright, I'm wanna come clean with this episode about something, now that's finished.
originally, this "dream" was going to be mixed up a little with the LRE comic fantasy, that's how it originally started in my head, back in the day, more than 8 years ago.
and it was supposed to happen "early" in the story, but I sidetracked the story for at least 2 or 3 episodes, which were the inclusion of Ivory in the tale, I decided to make a specific episode for her, then made a mission against the rebels for her alone, originally... Alpha was supposed to face the rebels, being sick as he was in the same episode.
I also wasted lots of pages presenting the new rebels, which were supposed to be part in future episode, and also wasted lots of time explaining sci-fi thingys about the city, which retrospectively... wasn't a great idea.
as a result, Alpha suffered as a character, he seemed to be "on hold" for too long, when it was the time for finishing the story, I realized how much I had messed up.
I enjoy Ivory a lot, but she kinda broke the basic structure of the story I had in mind, back when I was 17 years old or something, this, combined with the fact that I didn't outlined my work, and was just writing and having fun with it, without having a proper plan ahead except a few ideas to where the story was supposed to go.
in fact, I even thought about changing the main character to Ivory in the lastest episodes, thinking that if I felt he was too much punished and lacked willpower to do anything, maybe the rest of readers felt that, but even worse... ultimatelly, I decided that it wasn't fair, this was Alpha's story and I messed up, this episode was my way, the quickest way I had to make him literally "wake up"
I think there could have been 100 better ways to do it, but I ran out time, and of structure... and this was the only way I could do it, and still be beliveable.
this I think, could be probably one of the weakest episodes in part 3. mostly because I feel the "nightmare" hit were too few in part 2 :/.... I hope to include some patches in the story later, if I get energy for adding more to it, someday.
