Supa Comix

Hey everyone, it is the eve of mine and Adeles three week camping trip. This means that no direct work on Supa Comix will be done, however we will be talking a lot about some secret projects, including Zombie Stress 2 and Is It Because I’m Green. Hopefully a lot of what we want to do will get done pretty quickly and so we can actually get straight into work when we get back from our awesome holiday.

Until then i will only be able to update my twitter feed (www.twitter.com/sc_nickbrowne) when not at a computer. But i may pop online at random intervals when i get wireless on my PDA to check emails and stuff.

So until then cya!

thats right… i do release some stuff on time! in fact i have been working hard to update the look of the Is It Because I’m Green website over the past few days.

So now the new look is up you can go and check it out by going to the project page where the old design has been replaced. There isnt any content on there at the moment as we are still working on it… but it still looks pretty… oh and the Project announcment will be coming soon. – Adele

The website as you can see runs on WordPress, this is just becuase with the time frame that we had i didn’t have enough to construct everything for the blog just yet. So for now it’s going to be a wordpress blog, but the good news is that work has actually properly started on the Supa Comix website. I had to go back and do a bit of it again but this time it’s working properly and im working in a better order than before as i now do things in the order that i would need them testing.

Hopefully i will be able to get a lot of it done and a lot of it will come around to be fixed and working soon. You may even be seeing some of it go live in a while. – Nick

I have been thinking hard over the past few weeks… and yes… it did hurt. thinking hard about… life… the universe… and the Is It Because I’m Green? webpage…

i look at the web page as it is… and i dont care for it very much anymore and just like this… limbo of a supacomix webpage… it needs a change. just because the new Supacomix is still just code floating around Nicks brain… dosent mean that IIBIG needs to stay there with it and keep it company. that is why, the Is it because i’m green webpage  will be the first supacomix project to be written under the new code… as a lab rat (with less morbid consequences of failure) and will be made.. better!

not only that, i have been thinking about the project itself… the future and how it, itself can be made better… once the website is done in the upcoming weeks, it will be reveled… until then! i bid you adoo! (i do care about what few fans i have, i will keep you in mind… each and every two of you).. so thanks, from Adele

With one more week left of doing work for uni,  i can finaly start to pick up the “Is It Beacause I’m Green” project from where i left it.

i’m really happy to be able to get back to filming and i dont intend to ever end this project until it is compleated. Once the new supacomix has been compleated, in the not too distant future, “is it because i’m green” should be in its final episodes, then i can start thinking about my next projects. not to mention that i have recently purchased some new expansion packs and my new computer has already been upgraded so super smooth high quality footage coming your way from episode Nine onwards!

currently i am working on a comic for the supa comix project, “the survivors diary” and you may have seen nick published the stop motion animation that i did for uni,  so i havent been sitting around doing nothing lol

finaly, its been passed around that the sims 3 will NOT have the DRM after all… thanks to maxis… not EA, so there is a good chance that i may be doing future projects with the sims 3.

I look foward to bringing you the next episodes soon.

taking a break from all our technical issues and hard work, me and Nick went to see Watchmen… but the viewing was interupted… by technical difficulties…
but that meant we got to see it again for free.
anyway, i have written a review about the film in the forum review section (yes we have one of those) so check that out and give us your input too.

Ok, so the end of January has been and gone and we’re now looking at the end of February… but still no Cozmo? no, unfortunately due to poor computing facilities I found myself without a functioning computer for a few weeks, and another few weeks getting my new PC up to scratch on what me and the old computer were working on.

Now I have finally been able to get my new computer to play the video files I have recorded I can once again begin editing… or at least as soon as I get the audio files back off nick.
But fear not! I will complete this project if it takes me the next 3 years to do so… but if I get off my arse over the summer: when I have no uni work to have to go thru, then I will probably get the thing done and dusted for all to enjoy. so yeah sorry about that.
with uni and now the L4D pod cast to do finding time at the moment is like finding a pound coin in the back of the couch… rare, but a nice surprise. Even though it really is only just a pound…. I mean what can you buy for a pound? lots of sweets is the answer I’m looking for…
I’m looking forward to getting the rest of this series done as it amuses me. I wont be doing another series for “is it because I’m green” but I don’t think I will be retiring from my Sims 2 machinima work just yet… just hopefully my next series will be a bit better planed
oh and I wont be buying the Sims 3 unless it comes out on steam as I don’t want the new DRM on my computer (just in case anyone was wondering if I would take my work to that platform) i mean i would like to play it but I’d rather not because the use of my CD writer is not a sacrifice I’m willing to make for the Sims (its a new CD drive after all… my first working one for a long time)

Well then boys and gals. We have been working hard towards one major thing here at Supa Comix, and that is a new version of the website. You have been aware of a lot of things about the new website for a long time and although i have only just got around to writing a new news post now it is all for good reasons. Major reasons are for work and uni but other things include the continuing development of two focused areas of Supa Comix.

1. New Supa Comix Website

2. Survivors Diary Podcast

I am going to talk about the second one first… so the Survivors Diary Podcast (SDP) is something that me and Adele enjoy working on and is gathering a lot of speed towars having a great community. Every week we talk about a game that we enjoy playing and it is quickly developing into one of the most successful Supa Comix projects that we’ve invested time and money into. It has already greatly exceeded the Fortress website. A lot of our time goes into this project that we enjoy developing and as well as that we also gather a lot of information and knowledge about advertising projects and getting recordings done etc. Something that will benefit Supa Comix in the long run.

The first point of our focus, the new Supa Comix website is something that although has not as much time invested in it is something that takes a while to construct when time is invested. The administration section is still being worked upon but this has advantages rather than disadvantages. Firstly it helps me add more towards the Supa Kode manual which i have been filling out ready for its release. But other advantages is that we can discuss what we really want from the website and i can get them implemented ahead of the website release. We have really been thinking about Supa Comix and where we want to go with it and a lot of things are going to change and even appear nearer the time of the website release. I do not have an actual finish data for it, but once the administration section is complete i hope that the time it takes to construct it all will be short. When i am confident with it i will release it as a beta and we can test it all together. !Hurray!

Also i wanted to add a couple of things about Zombie Stress 2 and Gal X. These projects are our next target of concentration when we finish the website. Though Gal X is facing a possible further extension of its standby setting as we want to do something along similar lines but simpler. More news about that when we actually get around to it. I know that a lot of people are awaiting Zombie Stress 2 but we really are busy and the new website is a higher priority, but despite that me and Adele have really been talking about it and the game may go back to some form of pre-production and massive changes when we come to start on it again. There are loads of area’s we want to expand it into and things we want to do with it but you’re going to have to be patient and hope that the SC website is doon soon then the ZS2 will be done sooner.

*this project is turning out to be a lot longer than i thought* Anyway, 3 years… 1 season… i’m not promising it will be done this year since i promised that last year… yet here we are…

Okay, so i HOPE that we shall be done by the end of this year… 7 more episodes to go… i pray for a productive year lol

expect episode 6 before the end of january (unless something goes wrong)

If you clicked a survivors dairy link and ended up here then i’m glad to let you know that we have now moved it to www.l4dpodcast.net so if you want to carry on with that then head over there right now!!!

www.l4dpodcast.net – The new home of the Survivors Diary Podcast

Well the Survivors Diary has now turned into a Left 4 Dead podcast which we are attempting to release weekly. There is now another episode available for listening here.
