Hey ya'll! If you missed the hangout today then you can still see it here! Yay!

We talked mostly about my new strategy for my new comic. The webcomic industry is changing these days and I'm working on a new experiment for how to release my comics. This will give you a good idea of what I'm thinking. :)

Great conversation~! I was hoping to join in but my 3 year old was especially vocal today so…figured I’d listen in afterwards. I’m always highly interested in how you’re trying to tackle things. Going at this for the first time myself I struggle enough in just building the skills/confidence in current skills to get my projects going let alone when you start looking into the dizzying aspect of the evolving industry and the varying approaches to making it all work. Things like youtube, patreon and social media has done great things for independent art careers but if you step back and take it all in it almost opened too many doors so figuring out where to place those first few steps is pretty intimidating let alone coming up with a bigger picture to shoot for. Even tackling it from a more “do this because I want to create” versus “I want to make money" mindset is a challenge with all the varying ways one can share the finished piece. Your experience as well as your outlook on new approaches is worth way more than my pledge (and of course your work is amazing). Happy to support you and look forward to what all comes next~

Hi Christopher! Thanks so much. It's exciting and daunting all at the same time. Or one foot in chaos and one foot in order. :)

This was an amazing and informative call wish I was around at the time because I would of had some good questions to ask. Sucks to hear that webtoons didn't really have much conversion to sales or gaining patrons... I was going to launch my comic onto webtoons, and continue to print physical saddle stitch versions to sell until I have 6 chapters and THEN I"ll do the hardcover, but I'm also reluctant to just give it out for free online on webtoons (Thinking of doing something similiar how you're doing with patreon but the patreon will be up to date while the webtoons will be far behind and update much slower?) Also I'm really looking forward to pitching to publishers with the chapter that I'm developing atm and I'm assuming getting published will in the end always be the best deal? Thanks for making such great content I always learn so much and this was well worth the 5 dollars for the month.

Good conversations in this one. Just missed it as I was traveling. Looking forward to next month.

I looked on Github and elsewhere and absolutely could not find the Inkblot Ace branch, I don't know if you posted the link in the video or not (if you did I couldn't see it lol), but do you have that link?

Jason Brubaker

Hey Kyle. I have a direct link on my computer but I’ll have to get it when I’m in the office. I’m off today. :) But it’s not easy to setup unless I make a video explaining how it works. I’m going to try to do that this week. Then I’ll share the links. We are still making adjustments and so it’s not fully ready for public consumption yet. Plus there is no documentation on how to set it up or use it yet.
