Hello!

My break is ending, and I took some time to reflect on the direction of the current comic schedule!

Simply put, it isn't entirely sustainable in some way, one of which being, 3 monthly comics seems make them harder to follow, and having more than one page per month (per comic) would be preferable.

The other way it isn't, is that 3 high-production value in 3 weeks is exhausting and I was pretty burnt out by August. :p

After discussion with several people, I decided that I would refocus on one main project and one side content (or rotating content) per month until January, for a more sustainable workflow and so people can follow the stories better.

This month will be HMGBAPS, because it's close to the end of its final arc. As for which "side" project, I'd like to do Lunar Towers (Week 2), but September through December is also the season of HEXES so I'll put it to vote as option for (Week 4).

The project I want to prioritize for now is Lunar Towers; Wanderlust will honestly return on the side burned for a while (one page monthly similar to the old format maybe?) because it's currently the most demanding in resources. August was spent on modeling a full spaceship interior on the side, and it's still not done, so I'm not going to attempt to do everything at once again.

So presumably, HMGBAPS will be published on W1 and W3, and Lunar Towers on W2; W4 is free (I do have a commission on the backburner so it takes priority, but I already have some sketched pages for both can be done.)

Should HMGBAPS be done by October, Lunar Towers will become the "main" comic for a while. Though I WILL propose a seasonally accurate option if you'd rather have more Hexes. :p

Blue Waters Holidays will have a "closing" comic but unless I decide to do random seasonal themes or patrons request it to continue throughout the year -how will be decided later-, it will return in Summer 2027!

Let me know if you have suggestions or wish for specific comics!

Additional notes:

I will take two other breaks this year: one from November 18 to December 6 to travel to meet Centurii again, and the usual 2 weeks end of the year one.

I will be opening commissions soon due to the first break. I will also do my best to ensure the pages that should update during the weeks but worst outcome there'll be disturbances and I'll go for side projects to upload for these three weeks.

Here's the Operating Pool to inform the organisation of the coming trimester. Let me know what you'd prefer. If you have wishes that aren't in these, please let me know in the comments!

Cheers and here's to getting back to work... well, scheduled work, I didn't entirely stop through August :P !

EDIT: For some reason choice 2 says "WanderlustHexes", but it's Wanderlust: SOSS!
