NEWS: Megatokyo Launches Visual Novel Campaign on Kickstarter

Compare the 100th comic to the 1000th and then tell me Megatokyo art hasn't changed. I don't know what people are talking about when they say this.

Yes. It also helps to read the graphic novels when they come out. Being able to read a huge chunk of the story at once (instead of a page every two weeks or so) helps a lot in following the many threads of the plot.

Gallagher and his wife have severe health complications, and considering they have a child to raise, that's a lot to deal with. I'm just thankful they're still around rather than fading into obscurity like many '90s and 2000s folk who just dropped off the radar.

Greg Dean's Real Life Comics is still going strong. Amazing, really.

Greg Dean may be "going strong" (he's doing maybe three comics a week now), but he owes a LOT of things to a lot of people. Shirt Ninja statues, books, signed comics...check out the forum connected to his comic site. The first few topics alone are full of "Where is my stuff, Greg?" He has stopped going to that board, and won't reply to people on Facebook looking for stuff he OWES them.

The sad thing is I really liked him when I met him. His comics were fun, but he turned his back on his fans and customers.

I feel for Mr. Gallagher. My dad has something alone the same lines as his condition, and when it acts up, he can do nothing but rest until it passes, and it can really mess with your energy and activity levels.

Or, in my case, a few pages every few months. It became a bad cycle for Fred and for the fans.

Well, i would endevor to handle it all tastefully, while also giving homage to the fact that a lot of VNs have this sort of content - it's actually an interesting challenge, and while i would (by the intent most people read in that) be something not for kids, it would not be the typical fanservicey lame stuff you find in most pr0n games. I have way too much respect for my characters to pull cheap moves like that.

having said all that ... if by some weird chance we DID reach that goal and i had to live up to it, there will still be an all-ages version of the game for general audiences AND the 'romantic content' will be off by default in the full version of the game. I'm really amused by the idea of Seraphim chewing you out over turning that part of the game on... then getting tripped up by the fact that you are playing AS a character and she's saying you cant see the romantic content in your own life... so, yeah, its an amusing idea, one im not too worried about having to deal with
