Two Comics for the Price of One

by Danno on August 18, 2025

Well, here we go again! Today's the anniversary of when I created this website. As is tradition, I put out some new comics (2 this time!) and let you know what's going on in my head.

My projects are basically all dead right now. Other than doomscrolling, I've stepped away from the internet a bit and spend more time playing games or doing stuff outside. Either work has taken its toll on me or I just don't have the energy I used to. One thing hasn't changed, though - I still like making stuff. There's a sense of futility in creation with the way AI is heading, though. From stick men to where I'm at today, I've spent a lifetime learning and improving my art. Now anyone can basically generate stuff that's roughly as good or better without any effort. Many creative endeavours are under attack, sadly, and coldly substituted for a product that's "close enough". Will I still have a chance to finish a game project in the future, or will it be drowned out by an infinite number of AI generated games? I guess I'll hang onto the hope that it won't get good enough to match the intricacies of a project designed with details and purpose.

Since I can't commit to my own projects right now, I've been giving a little assistance to someone else's project. It's a 2D single player RPG inspired by Earthbound and I've been making pixel art for NPCs and enemy battle sprites. I don't have much else to say about that right now, we'll see how that pans out.

I haven't gotten around to dealing with my old comics, unfortunately. As I've mentioned before, I want to remove some of the really subpar ones, remake some of the okay ones, get rid of my weird blue borders, and perhaps re-number them. Don't expect that anytime soon!
