Lack of content.

Hey folks, hope ya'll are doing well, with this journal I'd like to address the lack of content as of late, my deepest apologies, as a lot of you are aware I have been really ill of late, my doctor diagnosed me as having a lung infection, and in addition to giving me medication to fight it had recommended that I take time to rest and focus on recovering... 

That said I haven't been just sitting on my ass all day, in fact I've already got the first few pages of Dubious Encounters ready for upload, I've been working on them slowly but steadily, and they only have a few finishing touches, namely: Sound Effects. 

One of my biggest self-criticisms with The First Farewell was the lack of sound effects, it's something that bothered me from pretty early on, and I was surprise that no one mentioned it (criticism is always welcome after all), the thing with sound effects is that they're much easier to incorporate into Digital Work, due to the fact that you're usually working with programs that use Layers, since pretty much every step of The First Farewell, from line work, to colours, to shading, and text is all done traditionally I'm basically working with one layer and things can quickly feel cluttered, but I think for Dubious Encounters I'm going to try to add Sound Effects in digitally, though they will still be drawn traditionally to keep the style consistent, but pasted in where needed...

Furthermore I think I'll be doing the sound effects in Aurebesh as opposed to English, I always feel that English sound effects come off as rather goofy whenever I'm reading comics, in fact one of my favourite things about reading Manga, as opposed to English/American comics, is when the Manga keeps the sound effects in Japanese, on top of it not being as goofy as seeing "KA-BOOM" or "POW", I find it visually pleasing also, so I think using Aurebesh for the sound effects would be a neat idea, I'd appreciate feedback on this idea. ^_^

Besides that, I've been saying for a long time that I want to start streaming gaming more regularly, the biggest problem is my crappy internet, though the Government has made it clear that they deem the internet as as much a neccessity as Electricity and Water, and aim to have full fibre-optic coverage of the country by next year, currently our internet is garbage... Y'see, I mainly play multiplayer, I have the most fun playing big team vs team games, like Battlefield and Battlefront, or Overwatch, and the like, and my internet struggles to play those games when I'm streaming... That said there are a number of singleplayer games coming out that I'm really excited for, namely Nioh which is like a cross between Dark Souls and Ninja Gaiden, I had fun streaming the Beta even though it kicked my ass, I love a challenge and I'm really looking forward to more, and think it would be really fun to play it whilst interacting with chat.

Another game which I've got and am looking forward to playing is Gravity Rush 2, the original Gravity Rush being one of only two games where I actually bothered to complete 100 percent, getting Gold medals in all the challenges, and finding and unlocking everything, including all the trophies, it completely captivated me, Gravity Rush is honestly one of my favourite games of all time, criminally underated due to it's initial release as a PS Vita exclusive (the Vita itself is criminally underated, it's a shame it sold so badly, and Sony has basically written it off...), thankfully the first Gravity Rush was re-released on the PS4, anyway the game's gravity shifting mechanics are incredibly fun to play around with, and the game's pseudo French-Japanese inspired world is absolutely gorgeous, so I'm really excited to experience more.  

There is also the final Dark Souls 3 DLC coming out next month, which as things stand is the end of the series as a whole, so I'm thinking of creating a new character in Dark Souls 3, and playing everything right up until the end of the game in prep for the final DLC, currently I'm thinking of an Orchid Shara playthrough, I've already created Orchid in the game, I can get her likeness almost spot on, blue skin and all, though I want to start again and actually create a themed build, I'm thinking it'll be something of a Faith build, utilising Miracles and such, I've never really tried a build like that, I think it could be a lot of fun! 

I've also been playing some Ark: Survival Evolved, not gonna lie, I adore this game, though there's a lot of downtime farming stuff, so I don't think that'd be fun to watch, and probably won't stream it. Fun fact though, I have a very powerful Spinosaurus, and I named her Priscilla because she reminded me of my Imperial OC... I'm wondering about Dinosaur-like creatures in the Star Wars universe, maybe Priscilla could have something like that as a pet, similar to how Jabba has a Rancor, maybe... XD 

Anyhow, that's all for now, as ever, Peace, Love, and may the Force be with you!
