Alright, sorry for slapping so many polls at you guys all at once, I'm just trying to organize my schedule for the month so that things go smoothly. And that means asking a lot of questions right now. :)

So, for those who don't know about OIL, it's a Sci-Fi comic project I've been working on behind the scenes for a number of years, and recently released the first chapter to for purchase at the affect 3d store. This was just the other month in September, as I was shifting focus towards the first version of Terminal Desires. 

 You can find out everything you need to know about OIL in this blog post here. 

So what am I proposing? If people are interested: every week I will create a new page of the OIL comic to be released for Special forces Patrons as a bonus for supporting at this tier. 

Since Chapter 1 has been available for purchase for a couple of months now at affect3d, I will be releasing several pages per week to catch up. Once all of the Chapter 1 pages have been uploaded here, I will start posting 1 new page from Chapter 2 each week. 

Chapter 2 will be a bit different, because I will be going back to the image set format. Which means Chapter 2's pages will each be one 1920x1080 image panel with text. This means it will be 1 render per page. So in a month there will be 4 new pages released.

Camille from Seishi is the writer of OIL's story and does the lettering (Also provides story assistance with TD's main story) so all I'd be doing is the render once a week while they handle the rest. 

I personally don't think it will take a lot of time away from Terminal Desires, and I never intended to up and abandon all of my other render projects to focus solely on this game. Plus you guys will get extra content every week so I think it's a good deal. However, I want to make it clear that Terminal Desires is absolutely my #1 Priority, period. If other projects get in the way, they will get delayed, not TD.

So, with that being said, would you guys be interested in me spending a bit of time each week producing a new page of OIL for you guys?

Thanks for your support!

I really like the idea. But somehow I don´ t want to get "spoiled" by the weekly pictures :D I just voted yes, bc it means more content for everyone :)

Jimjim

What do you mean get spoiled? :) It will be new pages, in order, as I complete them.

Derperoni

I know, I know. I usually like reading completed comics better so I can read it all in one go without having to wait. ^^

Jimjim

Ah, I see. Well it will probably be 50 images/pages per chapter now. $10 patrons will get 1 new page each week. When the chapter is complete a compiled version will be released for individual sale on the affect 3d store for people who aren't $10 patrons. That's my plan. It will take a while. But I need to focus mostly on TD obviously. But OIL is mostly told in scenes, so you could probably read each individual scene at once and wouldn't have to wait so long.

You're already making an entire game right now, so we know we're in for the long haul. If we can get a handful of mini-rewards, sprinkled here and there, in the meantime; I'm all for it.

Jimjim

Yeah, I just want to let you guys voice your opinions, I know people are here to support TD and not OIL, so I didn't want to make it seem like I'm not giving TD my all (because I honestly am!). On the other hand. We have a script for at least 4-5 more chapters of OIL and most of the characters/set's designed. So I didn't want to just abandon that project for another couple of years. And if I can give you guys those pages at no extra cost than I think it's worth the very slight impact it will have on TD's monthly updates. Or at least it all balances out imo.
