Title: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Darkmoon on November 18, 2011, 03:38:19 PM
I've added more characters to the bios page, and I'm finally getting off my ass and writing some new bios for the section. All of the new bios are currently only accessible on the restricted side, so that they can be looked over for typos (also, some of the characters haven't shown up yet on the public side, and I wanted to avoid spoilers).

Is anyone missing? Any oversights? Any typos?

Bios and Comics:

Cool!

Carmilla:
"She ended up being the last surviving heir as she, and the rest of her family were all vampires"=>"She ended up being the last surviving heir, as she and the rest of her family were all vampires"
"destracted"=>"distracted"

Frankie:
"carrage chicken"=>??? It could be "carriage" but I still don't know what "carriage chicken" means and Google isn't helping.
"checmicals"=>"chemicals"
"being runover"=>"being run over"

Chicken being the game played when two cars drive at each other, as if in a head-on collision, and the first to swerve is the "chicken".

I've added in a bit more content to the cast pages. Several of them now have character-specific comics at the bottom.

Whoo! Free content.

Whoohoo! Nice comics!

Medusa:
"were you tou stare upon her"=>"were you to stare upon her"
"get he a lot of guys"="get her a lot of guys"
"Some woman are appreciated"=>"Some women are appreciated"
"in victims eyes"=>"in victims' eyes"

Bunny:
"mammilian"=>"mammalian"
"that, every once in a while a new "Bunny" joins up with Darkmoon."=>"that, every once in a while, a new "Bunny" joins up with Darkmoon."
"its either out of some owner-pet relationship"=>"it's either out of some owner-pet relationship"

More comics added.

Nice.

Death comic:
"siutations"=>"situations"
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Darkmoon on November 21, 2011, 09:08:03 PM
More comics added.
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Gabi on November 22, 2011, 03:44:48 PM
And another typo reported.

Blackula (description, not comic):
"these ttacks"=>"these attacks"

I like Frankie's comic. :)
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Darkmoon on November 23, 2011, 10:42:07 AM
More added.
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Gabi on November 23, 2011, 11:35:00 AM
More from Blackula's description (sorry I didn't notice earlier):
"primary attackes"=>"primary attacks". And "these ttacks" is still there, but I suppose you haven't had the time to fix it.

Mummy's description:
"pharoah"=>"pharaoh"
"pharoahs"=>"pharaohs"
"had aa chance"=>"had a chance"
"The Mummy was all know and love"=>"The Mummy we all know and love"
"the Mummy will strikes"=>"the Mummy will strike"

Link's description:
"Knights of Hyrules"=>"Knights of Hyrule"
"boredome"=>"boredom"

I like Link's comic. ^_^ In fact, I always like Link's appearances in your comics.

Okay, it's been a little while since I last updated this thread, but I'm back at work on the bios. I'll update the top of the page with new bios to read in a bit, but for now I want to draw attention to the fact that (on the private side) the bios page has been updated again. Even more bios are planned for all the various random characters that have shown up over time.

My question to you: is there anyone missing? Do you see a lack of someone on there that you would like to see? If so, post it here and I'll make a thumbnail and plan to include them.

Thanks.

Umm... Darkie? But I'm not sure what you could say about him. O_o I may be able to think of someone else when I'm not in a rush, but I have to go now. Nice work on the Bios  page!
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Darkmoon on March 02, 2012, 09:01:17 PM
I contemplated whether Darkie and Pig needed them... but I figured unlike Bunny, they aren't fully-realized characters.
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Gabi on March 03, 2012, 07:56:30 AM
Good point. Umm... Alec Purple?

Just a couple of typos:
Richter: "than he's not to be blamed"=>"then he's not to be blamed"
Cornell: "and known lay-about"=>"a known lay-about"

Post by: Darkmoon on March 03, 2012, 10:36:15 AM
I don't have an official sprite for Alec Purple in CVRPG for the Holidays (ie, I haven't designed his Solstice version). I'll probably hold off until I get those made.

Also trying to decide if the TMNT arc should be represented...

I'm working on new bios right now. One of those things about getting so many projects is that sometimes I get caught up for months at a time in other projects and forget to do the eight other things I was working on.

Anyway, this actually ties into another point: there's a new development site for CVRPG. I'm working on a tweaked layout (and the whole comic engine is getting a revamp), but don't go to this site expecting to be able to view all the comics and everything just yet. The archive pages still need a lot of work, and I'm figuring out some of the fiddly details, which is why i didn't just launch the new site yet.

That said, all the "Bonus Features" are up, and the cast bios now have their own link in the top menu. Take a glance, and let me know your thoughts.

And, btw, Hanz is now up with bio and comic.
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Gabi on March 01, 2013, 08:52:20 PM
Where is Hanz's bio? I can't find it.

Oh, and on Link's bio: "Race: Zoimbie"=>"Race: Zombie"
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Darkmoon on March 03, 2013, 05:37:04 PM
You gotta go to the new http://click2.cvrpg.com/page/cast/index ;)
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Gabi on March 03, 2013, 06:00:44 PM
Ooooh! Thanks.

OK, Hanz's bio: "many of have heard the tales"=>"many have heard the tales"

And he didn't seem so smart when he was in charge of the Heroes' Guild. >.>
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Darkmoon on March 03, 2013, 08:36:14 PM
The heroes guide was a smart idea. I think the issue there was hubris, not intelligence. ;)
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Gabi on March 05, 2013, 03:02:42 PM
Yay, typo fixed! ^_^

Also fixed a broken link to Alec's cast page, and typos on most cast pages.
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Darkmoon on March 05, 2013, 03:26:11 PM
Hurrah! This is gonna work out great. ;)
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Gabi on March 05, 2013, 06:04:10 PM
I hope so. :) OK, I'm done going through the cast pages. ^^ I couldn't find any typos on Carmilla's page. ;)

Darkmoon, I'm sadly disappointed in you. Work harder! ;-]
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Darkmoon on March 05, 2013, 08:51:03 PM
Well, I'd go in and edit some typos, but that seems like cheating.
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Darkmoon on May 19, 2013, 02:56:05 PM
More bios are up. List at the top has been update accordingly.
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Gabi on May 21, 2013, 02:22:39 PM
Nice! And the typos have been fixed. :)
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Darkmoon on May 21, 2013, 03:42:19 PM
I wrote them in Word, but I should have known there would be typos regardless. ;)
Title: Re: [CVRPG News] - Cast Bios
Post by: Gabi on May 22, 2013, 10:09:03 AM
Oh, that would explain why all the misspelled words were still actual words, just different ones.
