Transfer Complete!
Good news, everybody: the entirety of Yonkoma Nuzlocke has now been successfully uploaded onto this site.
The Author Comments are restored, so are the hover-texts – some of those contain little additional “future-updates” from the me who was reuploading them years after – though for the most part I tried to keep them entirely as they where. There was one hover-text in particular that made me almost spit my drink when I found it – you’re all welcome to reread the comic and discover why.
The upload dates also remain as they were, though I didn’t pay attention to the hours, so for some of you they could have shifted a day in either direction, depending on the time zone. Not that it matters much.
The menu above now shows the Comic List, where you can check the archive. It’s different from the dropdown menu we had on SmackJeeves and it’s not quite as elegant as I’d like, but it showcases the covers now. I guess they do contain some spoilers for new readers, but I figure they also promise the improvement in art-style and showcase potentially interesting stuff to interest newcomers. So it’s okay.
The next update I hope to have ready sometime in early Fabruary and I’m going to be working on a new Cast Page. I plan to launch it with only a few characters and gradually add to it in time. This one’s gonna be very different from what it used to be, as I have a surprise planned… But for now, it’s all shush-hush.
See you in the comments.
For the new Cast Page, will you be including a link on the top banner area too? I feel like that would be convenient because before SJ changed its format, I loved revisiting that page after every update you posted. The only thing I found inconvenient was that there was only way to make it to the Cast Page and that was through your most recent Author Comments. The same could be said for the Elemental Theory Page, because I find that page to be an important and very interesting part of your work too, so making it more accessible would probably help out other curious folks too.
Anyway, I look forward to your new changes. I still very much love your comic and appreciate all of the work you spoil us fans with.
The reason behind locking the Cast and Elemental Theory pages behind the newest update was to avoid showering new readers with spoilers. You say you enjoyed frequently checking the Cast page for updates – and yeah, that’s the thing. It was kept up-to-date. As a result, spoilers were abundant.
I’m still unsure on how to handle it. The simplest thing would be to mark the link with a spoiler warning and make sure the only fatalities would be intentional suicides. Another option – hiding every character profile behind a clickable “spoiler tag” that informed you what page you need to be at for the contents not to ruin a surprise.
The page on Elemental Theory is less spoilery, though I’d still rather have my readers discover the type meanings by reading the comic itself… I suppose I could hide the character examples under every element at least?
I’ll figure something out – but keep’em feedback a-comin’ and thanks for the love.
