PLEASE VIEW MY LAST POST FOR CONTEXT!!!
edit: ok so i need ideas for a new roblox comic. please provide ideas to me in the reply section.
I’m still confused about the story a whole. The post before had no backstory either, so there’s nothing to go off of. Not to be mean or anything, it’s still a good quality graphic.
I think the first image stands on its own. That alone represents 50% of the games I’ve explored.
A comic is a fun idea. You should link to your other posts or just add new updates to an existing thread so all of this is in one place.
is this purgatory what is happening in this comic help
the comics kinda of a big mess unfortunately… im kinda running out of ideas so its a pretty scrambled mess
Can look through the forum posts for inspiration. Find things that devs are struggling with and show them from the viewpoint of the in-game characters (or conflate the dev issues with character world in some way).
A few ideas:
How’s my first ever build?
It could be amazing, or just a cube, or the thing that was built replies, etc.
What are you working on currently?
self affirmation skills, pain tolerance, replacing monitor, a build of the outside world since we haven’t left home in 6 months.
Hackers attack a game and cause the popularity of it to increase
Character complains about having to always carry around his own weight in accessories.
Two blocky avatars make some comment about an rthro character.
(and so on.)
I’d give the comic itself a name and have some characters show up as regulars. Post new updates to the same thread and give each new addition a title of it’s own. Can link to new posts from the OP, or just update the OP.
My 2 cents.
Is probably pretty good modeling/studio experience making these. You should keep at it as long as it’s fun for you. They are fun to look at. It’s something different.
This is the first comic i laughed at now that i know the backstory. Maybe you could have links to the previous/next ones so we know what order they go in instead of piecing them together from your page?
thats actually a great idea. i might actually put a link to the last post!
thanks alot
“find things that devs are struggling with and show them from the viewpoint from the in game characters” i like that idea so far. but could you elaborate on that sentence?
Sure! For example, scanning through the forum you might find a post asking for help on an item placement system for a building game. You read a little about their problem and some offered solutions in the posts, and then write down a few things that come to mind for you in an idea journal (ideally alongside a bunch of other ideas).
Later, when you need a fresh idea for a comic you skim through the idea book and pick up that placement problem idea (which is a dev problem) and think of ways to make it a problem for the characters in a game. How would not being able to place things correctly affect a character on the inside of a game?
After thinking it over you might come up with a 3 panel comic that goes something like this:
Panel 1: [Crazy looking living room with everything floating a few studs above the floor and upside down] Character #1 (excited) says, “Neat huh? What do you think of my new living room design?” Character #2 looks surprised and confused.
Panel 2: Character #2 (attempting to put it all in the best light) says, “The colors are great! It’s everything I would look for in a living room, but with a twist.” Character #1 is beaming.
Panel 3: Character #2 says, “Still can’t find the bug in your placement system?” Character #1 (dejected) “Yeah.”
So, that example takes a development issue from the forum (placement system woes) and turns it into a problem for the Roblox characters in the comic. That’s also an example of the “conflate” thing I mentioned where the character represents both an avatar within the game AND the developer.
thats a great idea!! thanks alot for that!
