Production Blog: Seth Quest et al.

Current Song on Play: "Man On The Moon" by Phillip Phillips

Well, another Thanksgiving has come and gone! I spent much of the past three days working on the amazing new point and click panel titled "[S] Seth: Quest". I'm pretty proud of it, and the fact that I was able to use Seth's theme music for the first time. Credits for the music go to Aidan "SidewalkBanana" Dare, head musician for the comic.

I made the Flash with the Professor Layton games in mind. In those games, you can click around for information and puzzles. Of course, in this Flash, there aren't any puzzles, per se, yet there are plenty of hidden things that you can click on for descriptions from Seth.

Navigation-wise, I think this Flash is much better than any of the previous point and click adventures (namely the one on Eden, with Michael). For this Flash, I decided to expand upon the classic one room look, and made much larger rooms with more things inside. I look forward to continue to following this format in future games.

Aidan gave me some advice a little bit after releasing the Flash. He advised that I keep the button from moving when in conversations. I honestly wish I had thought of that myself, since it is such a better improvement.

Anyway, Flash aside, a lot of other things are now in play. The story has been furthered. Seth, Quantum, and Justin are now making a stop on Abscondita to check in with the Paradox Police. This is where the story is at this moment. I'm thinking two more weeks and Act Six will be finished, unless I decide to do more with the Act. Act Six is now 65 pages long, and Part 2 is 192 pages long. Overall, the comic is 492 pages long, slowly creeping up on 500 pages. Storywise, I don't think I'm at a position to commemorate the event once I get there. But who knows? Maybe something will happen!

On another note, the new album has been scaled back to 10 tracks, because 6 of the songs were just repeats and I didn't feel like extending it any further. Look for a release by the end of this week.

Well, that just about wraps things up! This is M-Log signing off!
