Photon Art now has a site!
That’s right. Time to sit back and wait for tens of millions of hits per day. That’s how these things work, right?
So, the short version of the story is that I’m no longer able to maintain an appropriate archive for my comics where I used to post them, and this has forced me to move forward with my plans to set up a site for this atrocious comic. Until further notice, the site won’t look very pretty, but I’ll still supply the comics as they come.
That said, those coming here expecting Schtserv-oriented comics will be disappointed to hear that the Schtserv chapters are now behind me. There will be new Phantasy Star Online comics, as well as comics centering around its shiny new sequel, but comics pertaining specifically to Schtserv will no longer be done. I feel as though it would be in bad taste to make comics on subjects I know–and care–little about. With that, the Photon Art crew will be packing their bags and heading toward a more open genre, covering many more games than just Phantasy Star.
I’m not going to forget the roots of the comic, so Phantasy Star will still be a prime subject, but it may take the back seat to other games I’ve been dying to poke fun at. For example, Skyrim. You wouldn’t believe how many backed up ideas I have for Skyrim.
I’d make promises on what to expect from the site, but honestly, it’s one big unknown, at the moment. Just keep checking back, and we’ll see where this hooch goes. First thing on my to-do list is post “The Schtserv Chapters,” as they will now be called. Expect them in a follow-up post shortly.
