There won't be a Panic Mode episode this week, since I'm working on a longer special Halloween episode that'll be out on Monday or Tuesday. I've had this planned out for a while now so hopefully it'll be as awesome as it is in my brain! :')
we will wait ryan
It's cool. Take your time.
Hey peeps! I was supposed to have a comic out this weekend, but my tablet pen kinda went stupid. I'm gonna be using my backup tablet (which was a pain to install with drivers being really stupid) and I'll have the next one out on Wednesday! It's been a fun one to work on so far, so hopefully you guys will have fun reading it!
where did you go?
Hey everyone! Ryan here (I mean who else would it be).
After the past few episodes of Panic Mode, I've noticed some pretty decent subscriber drops. Normally this is just how things go with this kind of thing, but I've noticed some significant numbers.
So I ask you, the subscribers and fans: Is there anything you see that I might be doing wrong with Panic Mode? I've been doing quality of life updates to it, like more consistent drawings of characters, shading (which I'm very happy with), and streamlining the text so it's always easy to read rather than having to handwrite everything and potentially make something not as clear as it could be.
I've tried to keep it as zany as I can, and the most recent episode is the start of a little mini-arc involving the fish(?) Stormo. I'm really happy with the direction I'm taking Panic Mode (that direction being the same direction, just shinier), but if there's something I'm not doing right, it'd be greatly appreciated to have some of you share your thoughts. I want to make this comic for the readers to love and to share and laugh about, so if I've taken a wrong step somewhere, please let me know!
I can't promise that I'll make *every single change* that people may (or may not) throw at me, but I am looking for constructive criticism on ways I could potentially help Stormy and the gang out. They're my babies, after all.
Lotsa love to all my readers!

I'll have to play around with different lines. Something clicks with me and the crayon-y looking stuff, though. I've been playing around with the anti-aliasing on that brush a bit to make it less harsh.
okey dokey. Do what you gotta do. :)
Chances are many of your subs found your series because it was featured somewhere, subbed it just for the heck of it and kept being subbed just because they completely forgot about it while it was dead, but now that's alive again they realized they didn't really like it in the first place and unsubbed (or at least that's how i imagine things went...)
Althought, i find it VERY strange that you had a subs drop, considering you were featured again in the Daily Snack twice since then...

Usually after a low/mid-popularity comic gets featured in some way, there's a wave of new subs, followed by a slow, small decrease in subs with each new update for several weeks (as golb mentioned, it's when someone returns to a comic and decides that they aren't as interested).
I've seen this happen to myself and others a few times, so I guess it's a common occurrence..? If you've come back from a hiatus, that may just be a normal reaction O.o

Especially since he apparently went on hiatus again (and without a word, to boot!)

Ayyyy, that's really cool! Scott Pilgrim?! :D
It's a reference to Scott Pilgrim, yeah :) I used it for my 25 sub thank you and decided to make it my "awesome thanks for subscribing!" pic. You know, with banjos.
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY APPROVE.
Yaaaaaay :D
I know the past two episodes of Panic Mode haven't been actual episodes (the 500k views thing and the Tapas tipping thing), but fear not! The next *actual* episode will be out today (Friday for me) or tomorrow! And I intend to have as steady of a stream of episodes as I can from now on. At least two per week from here on out, meaning I could put out two, or three, or twenty! Okay, maybe not twenty, but you get the idea. :')
that is what i like to hear!
hell yea
Woo hoo! #PaincModeIsAwesome
Take it slowly but steadily: the last thing we'd want is for you to need another hiatus due to overwork.
Something that apparently doesn't deter these two crazy girls:

Oh, don't worry, I'll be fine. Once next week starts I'll be rushing a lot less and get into a steady groove.
Congrats on the 500K thing, wait was it more than that, or 500K?
i have no clue, BUT IT'S AWESOME!
500k views, not subscriptions, haha.
Oh...But still, CONGRATS RYAN THE ART WARRIOR!!!
YEAH! STILL CONGRATS!
XD XD XD XD XD X3
Are these all drawn on MS Paint?
Noooo, no no no. I do all my work in Clip Studio Paint with a crayon-ish pencil tool. The only time I ever use MS Paint is when I make the images a few pixels taller to have white space between the panels.
Oh, but the "Super Stormy Adventure RPG" set of episodes was done *entirely* in MS Paint for that true pixely effect.
