Possible reboot (Patreon)

Hello everyone! I wanted to get your thoughts on something that’s been heavy on my mind for the last 2 years!

I’ve been considering rebooting Star Children and starting from scratch. Why? There’s a lot of reasons

When I first started, I had no idea what I was doing. Both with how to make a comic and what to even do with the story. I had a concept and I just sort of bullshitted my way through it to where we are now. Now that I’ve grown so much as an artist and a writer, I want to give the story the justice it deserves— it really is the story that made me want to create stories in the first place. Because of the lack of knowledge and planning, I’ve been working against constant burn out every time I try to pick it back up. I think scrapping what I have and starting anew will be what brings that joy and excitement back to me.

I would obviously upload the full original version here so it’s available to read — I also don’t plan on changing much — just reorganizing where scenes go to make the story flow better and fix some plot holes and story restrictions I unintentionally made for myself that’s been making it so hard to move forward.

Another factor is that just where Star Children is now, it’s not getting the engagement it used to get that it once did. I can see readers getting frustrated or confused because of my weak storytelling and dropping it. Heck, 186k subs and only about a small fraction of returning readers? It really hurts to see, and what makes it so hard to continue where I currently am.

Now, the other thing is that… even though I want to reboot the story, I may not be able to continue to work on it due to conflicting interest. I have to be vague, but using the same characters in another comic can make it challenging, but I’m going to ensure that I fight for the rights of my characters and their respective universes. Hell — I MADE it canon that theres multiple alternate universes, so it wouldn’t really be going off course to say that this is just an alternate universe. I don’t know.

I appreciate you all so much for continuing to be patient with me when it comes to this, especially for those who have been supporting me either solely for or mostly for Star Children. I don’t want to disappoint anyone, but I genuinely think this is the best for me to feel proud in the story I’m telling and give you guys a story worth reading.

I do plan on finishing the episode that has Maria and Txeru reunite, so don’t worry about that.

Didn’t mean to get gloomy on the holidays! Today has been a lot of reflecting on the past years, and this has been something plaguing me for a while. Hope you all have a great and happy day!
