Darkmoon · February 28, 2011, 10:29:53 AM

The New CVRPG is now active. Go. Play.

bradypodidae · February 28, 2011, 10:39:55 AM

I shall go and play! Congratulations on the launch!

Castle Pokemetroid · February 28, 2011, 09:50:05 PM

The site doesn't look any different to me. Is it some sort of server thing?

Darkmoon · March 01, 2011, 12:16:52 AM

It should be Dark Red instead of blue. Trust me, when you can see it, you'll see it.

Sprocketsdance · March 01, 2011, 01:24:39 PM

oooo!!!

man is that spiffy

-edit-

I can't find the newest guest comic, I looked under bonus features and CVRPG Artwork. Also, at the very bottom of the CVRPG Artwork page the last link is thinking a bit outside the box.

The guest comics are in the archive, near the bottom. You can also use the Updates link in the menu, which will show you all the most recent updates, organized by "type" (with logos even)

As far as the Artwork... do you mean the "Katrina and Alec by Charvale", and if so... why?

Sprocketsdance · March 01, 2011, 06:13:27 PM

Ahh I see, thanks for explaining.

The artwork "Katrina and Alec by Charvale" isn't included inside the red box and isn't able to be clicked upon, if it's supposed to be like that, sorry

just thought I'd let you know if I saw something off.

Darkmoon · March 01, 2011, 10:26:12 PM

Can you screencap? I've looked at it in all my browsers and I can't replicate that issue.

If anything I can blame ubuntu... or just my weird laptop o.O

Castle Pokemetroid · March 02, 2011, 09:05:25 PM

I see it now. Took a few days.

The plot in the main comic is moving quite slowly as of yet. Jokes also seem to be forced. Other than that, I see no problems.

I also couldn't replicate the problem wuffnpuff had.

Wow. Thanks.

EDIT: Wuff, try looking at the other archives. Do they have that issue as well.

Yeah, for example, the Ritcher sleeping with Samus scene was not only unnessesary, it was out of place. There's no humor in it, just the feeling to hurry onto the next page. I'm not sure if you understand, but yeah. Your characters are blending with each other and they're losing their distinct personalities.

Darkmoon · March 04, 2011, 07:54:31 AM

See, I don't see that as out of place. Samus always struck me as the kind of person to take what she wants when she sees it. I mean, she is a bounty hunter. Her job is to track people and/or items, grab them, and get them back to her employers for money. Money plays.

Well, and especially my version of Samus.

Honestly? After eight years... I wouldn't be critiquing the creator of the comic. There's a flow to things and sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's slow... but either way a bit of patience pays off. Plus, it's his comic and he can do with it as he pleases (as I'm sure he's mentioned before).

It's just very off-putting when someone comes along and deems it necessary to speak up about whatever they think some comic lacks. Whine whine, bitch bitch, man up and just deal with it. Either you like the comic and continue to read, or you don't and move on. Don't try to fix something that doesn't need it.

llearch n'n'daCorna · March 05, 2011, 01:17:38 PM

On the other hand, Wuffy, if you speak up and say "I see this - what am I missing?" people may correct you, which helps.

joshofspam · March 05, 2011, 02:12:53 PM

The comic is starting to grow on me with it's jokes on Samsus.

I don't really think the plot should be considerd going slowly. Now if Zed from Robowarrior was here then that would be slow. They'd be spending 78% of the story trying to keep Zed's power charged so he doesn't die in five minutes.

I get what you're saying

but when there isn't any wondering about "what am I missing?" then it's pointless to say.

Also, thinking more about the Samus thing - I actually appreciate the joke with her and Richter 'getting it on' because it actually gives her character more depth (in this bit of universe). With Richter... yeah, it's him. There's no need for more explanation, but with Samus... as far as I know her character just seems to be a rough-n-tough chick who likes to kill everything. To show that she is a woman and has needs too, makes her a bit more interesting

... that's just how I saw it o.o

Castle Pokemetroid · March 06, 2011, 11:04:56 PM

I think my problem is that I just hate the new plot in general. It seems like filler material and out of place.

Something simular to the creator of a comic or some sort of series running out of ideas, so they have to make up a random storyline that causes the plot to move around in a complete circle, which causes nothing to get done, to buy time to come up with a new storyline. Sort of like that arc in the anime Bleach with princess Mirichiru and the bakotos that interrupted the main arc suddenly.

There was no transition into this new arc, so it seems to be that way.

I suppose it's my own opinion and all.

But what you said is true. If I don't like it, I should just move on, so I guess I'll just wait and not read any more pages until this arc is over.

Darkmoon · March 06, 2011, 11:37:38 PM

The entire series is planned out. If I wanted to switch to Game IV after Game III I could have. I wanted to do this story as a change of pace.

Sprocketsdance · March 07, 2011, 12:27:31 AM

Pokem dude? Perhaps I should suggest that you read through the whole comic again. How many times have seemingly meaningless things come about to be more important later? Just because you can't comprehend what might possibly be happening right now or how - oh no- it isn't connected to anything, doesn't mean you should just write it off for right now. No one knows what is going to happen except for Darkmoon but something to learn is to not get your panties in a bunch because things don't seem quite right at the moment. It's called RIFT WARS for a reason. Duh. To get all whiney because things aren't 'flowing' the way you want them to and aren't catering to your supposed taste just makes you sound like a douche.

The comic is here not to specifically bring you joy. If you find it enjoyable, great. The jokes are good and the characters are interesting. If you don't enjoy it and if you only feel like complaining about it then, obviously, the comic won't care. You won't be missed. It isn't going to change on the account of how you feel about it.

Thank you for your opinion on me. Your words mean nothing. Only what Darkmoon has to say about the comic has any meaning to me.

Darkmoon:
A change of pace. Brilliant. Only if you had mentioned this earlier. It sure is different than the usual. I like the idea. Not sure what idea I'm thinking of, however.

Maybe the idea of it being different than usual.

I still want to wait until it's over, so that I can read it all at once, rather than in pieces. I really don't like reading this arc with the normal update. It moves too slow. It'll more than likely be far batter reading the whole thing in a single day sort of a thing.

Sprocketsdance · March 07, 2011, 09:58:50 AM

Ooooo I've been thanked, how touching

You really think he needs your approval? Plus... the hell? "if only you had mentioned this sooner" Oh, again, sorry he didn't pander to your delicate little psyche for a while there, that must have hurt you bad.

Thank you, Wuffy, that will do. Let's not get into breaching rule 3, by getting too personal.

And Castlepokemetroid? Same goes to you.

Neither of you has stepped over the line, yet. At least, not too far. Let's keep it civil, hmm? Otherwise I'll feel obliged to demonstrate, and neither of you will like that.

Much.
