While the final date of Tapas has been announced, World Breaker Novels will remain until the final month the site is available! We have a handful of people who read our stories here, and we don’t want to take that away now!
We're gonna try pushing as many short stories as we can until the final date, so keep an eye out in the Random Noodle Shorts page!
We'll have a final send-off when the time comes, so keep reading, and never forget that we appreciate everyone of you!
In 40ish minutes, all of our novel content will drop for one week! Sunday to Sunday!
Heads up for the Gluttonous readers. The maturity filter is on every update, so if that affects anything for you, I apologize. It's got its violent moments, so I'm just followin' the rules.
Everything is prepared for the Tapas Finale release! Since I don't know when exactly Tapas will shut down, I'll play it as if it isn't happening next week, so Gluttonous and Techromaster up to their current release will be available all next week for free!
This is my gratitude for the handful of amazing readers that have enjoyed our stories here, and I hope you can continue to read and support us on Globalcomix! Thank you!
I saw the news about Tapas shutting down this morning. This isn’t the first site that I've posted on, but this is the one that I post little written works to, which will slow down the creative output a little.
My graphic novels will still be available on Globalcomix, but I'll have to figure something out for the written books. It will be a bit of a transition, but we will continue somewhere out there as soon as we get things situated.
Before the official shutdown, we'll try to do another event to show all of our work here one last time. All of our graphic novels will be published for free for a brief time, allowing our last whoo rah is a good one.
Thank you to my Tapas readers for giving us the time of day, and we hope to see you again some day.
I'm gonna be posting a small little snippet of a story on here soon. Someone posed a challenge on Twitter to write a short story about someone with less-than-average super powers doing something heroic and it got the creative juices flowing.
Maybe I'll make small stories like this into a series as a collective space. Maybe I'll go back and make full stories about these if I like them enough. Who knows? That's part of the fun!
A little sneak peek into the later pages of Gluttonous. My artist just gave me the new pages, and I'm awestruck by the amazing work he put into the max-powered Jethuun model.
Quick question, since this site is much more interactive than the others I use.
How are people feeling the graphic novel format? Is it more convenient to get a full story segment in 120+ pages? Would people prefer 15-25 page comics/manga?
Personally, a graphic novel is tame, it's cheaper than comics (both for me and the people who pay to read them,) and it allows me to release them in segments, rather than waiting for a full comic book to be drawn before releasing it.
Not trying to sway opinion here, but that's how I see it. However, I'd like the opinions of the readers. If anyone has anything to say on the topic, I'd love to hear it.
That's a good question. I'm not sure if I have an answer.
Maybe for the first release, say of Techromaster, since you already have that finished, try releasing both and see which one does better. Give people their options.
I've been thinking about it a lot, and I think my solution will inevitably be to create a comic separate from my main graphic novel universe.
While it would be tougher to add a third story to the lineup of things that are already being worked on, I think that would be easier than to recreate an already completed work in another format. Especially since changing Techromaster now would effect the future of the whole universe since all of our graphic novels are tied in together.
If I can manage to get these stories to fund themselves, then I may backtrack on the idea of just remaking all of the current content into comics. Until then, I'll only test the waters with a new story that takes place outside of the main series.
The more I think about it, the more I contemplate having Laoch the Gold rewritten for a manga or comic series.
Like, personally, I like the comic or manga layout better. Written stories are fun to write, but I keep finding myself struggling to start the next one. I'm especially bad at doing a sequel, and Laoch the Gold has much more story to tell.
I need a stronger budget, but that's probably the goal right now. Make Laoch the Gold into a manga or comic.
For those who enjoy the Gluttonous series, there has been many updates since the ending here on TAPAS. Follow our link to Globalcomix, and continue the adventure now!
Techromaster will continue, and rlthe first set of pages will be completed in the coming weeks. However, I'll be direct about this. It won't be free. It can't be.
As long as I've been writing, and having artists draw for me, I've made nowhere near what I've put into it. While I have no intention of stopping now, I can’t keep carrying on for free.
So, much like Gluttonous, I will have so many pages released for free, then the rest will have to be sub only on Globalcomix until it's fully released, then online purchases will be available.
I understand that paying money sucks. As a person who saves every dime he can, I get it. However, I need to move forward with making something of this.
