UPDATE:
After nearly 2 months of delay, Tales of Stonehearth: People with Swords is back! With an all new idea and concepts to add onto the story and make the world MUCH more of a living place! I’m sorry for the lack of updates, I have been uber busy! Between helping out Grand-master of Awesome @Pepe with the Glowstonehearth Minecraft Server and being in and out of the hospital I haven’t had too much time to work on anything but the writing. although I have some pretty interesting ideas that will hopefully get the series back on it’s feet.
First off, the setting has gotten a massive overhaul! I’ve changed the world COMPLETELY, even will be drawing up a map for a future endeavor, as well as a character story overhaul.
First BIG Announcement, due to my current technical issues I can no longer generate all of the land and set pieces in Qubicle (awwwwwwwwww) but I have come up with a interesting and awesome alternative.
Now you may be thinking, Why is a picture of Minecraft on the People with Swords thread? Have you lost your mind?
Well, after the project took it’s break I felt like I was using too much energy building sets in Qubicle I knew I wasn’t going to be able to use. So, after @Pepe said he’d start up a minecraft server I got an idea.
“What if I built the world in Minecraft, but used my character models instead of the minecraft models?..”
I fell in love with the idea, and started planning. That picture was taken TODAY on the mc.glowstonehearth.com Minecraft server! You can actually walk in this city on the server and is still under construction. Not only will this save me a lot of time but I can get other to help me out as @Pepe already has.
The 2nd BIG announcement of the day, We are returning to web series! This is NO longer a comic, but and animated series once more! Now this means a few things, of course.
- Since this is a series again it’ll take some time.
- I will need some money for voice actors and better equipment
- IT WILL BE SO AWESOME!!!
The only real issue I have now is that I don’t have funds to make the series as great as I want it to be, and I have a few options on how to get the funding I need and I would like some input on my choices of if anyone can come up with anything else.
- I could take a second job. This would increase the time the series takes to produce.
- I think Kickstarter or another site like Kickstarter is an option, not my favorite but it’s there
- Donations, basically the same as kickstarter but it’d be more direct (this is merely to cover all bases, this isn’t even an option for me)
I’m going to try to start uploading some animation tests to Youtube Weekly from now on. this way people will know this series is still being made and I’m still trying to push content to your guys.
The only way this series is going to be a success is if I have enough confidence to know people are excited and hyped to see the story and vision I have for this series pans out. I will need some support from the community to keep me going on the project.
People with Swords, is alive though! HUZZAH! I look forward to bringing the series to life!
Working hard,
Pandemic
