So out of curiosity. I decided to sit down and math out how long it would take to tell the story of Alterria the way I wanted to. Not counting "Advent Moon" and "Prelude of the Phantasm", there are 6 story arcs planned. Each intended to be 12 chapters long. A Chapter is 20 pages long. Currently I'm releasing 2 pages per week. there are 52 weeks in a year so at most. That's 104 pages a year assuming I never missed 2 per week. That's 5 Chapters and 4 pages a year. Alterria counting "Prelude of the Phantasm" and Advent Moon. Would take 74 Chapters + the 30 pages of Advent Moon to complete. That's 1510 page! It would take me 15 years to complete this story. I'd be 50 by the Time I finished! But if I went and slashed those arcs down to 6 Chapters each. It would take me only 8 years to complete it. I've got a lot of thinking to do about how to handle this because I still want to make games. And have been working on conceptualize a new smaller project. My advice to anyone reading this in their 20s. Never be afraid to start! If you got an idea for a webcomic, Go for it! Even if you can't draw/write, you'll learn and improve as you go along in addition to online advise/tuts! I will never get back the 15 years a lost not bothering to just make the things I wanted to make. Drawing/writing skills be damned! Even a bad Web Comic is better than no Webcomic!

Page 9 for Subscribers will be pushed to early/mid Monday. Mainly because things are still a bit uneven for me. And I don't want to rush a page again. Nothing good really comes from that. Tuesday/Thursday public updates however are finally back to normal. So those will be on time. Also, because I redid that page and Page 10 entirely. To reduce the number of Panels. Because OG Page 9 was... really cluttered. And Page 10 had redundant panels that I was able to cut.

CH1 Page 8 is going to be a day late for subs. But the Tuesday Upload will still be on time.

I might do a 1 week break around Page 20 to build the backlog of pages for Chapter 2 up. A bit early to say this but I don't think I'll be able to get extra pages done over the next few months. Maybe that'll change but for now, I'm not sure if I'll able to. So better to play it safe and just plan ahead for the break.

After 15 years, there's a lot of things I'm still figuring out in the art/webcomic world. I never knew it's actually pretty disrespectful to have patreon/subs so early in a comics run. In my case 33 pages into Alterria. I also began to realize that Alterria having different titles for it's different story arcs. might be causing confusion. I hoped the pages being linked together would help but I get the feeling most people don't read descriptions. Between that and Alterria Adven Moon's horrifically bad start. I don't know how to fix the current mess. I'm gonna have to ask around to try and get advice on what to do next. In the meantime. I'm going to stop advertising my patreon and subs. I think prints might be ok, but I'm really worried that might be an issue too. I need to figure out a new approach to fix my financial issues. It's been hell trying to find work anywhere that doesn't require a car, or relocation. And I'm running out of time.

Fate Dealer Page 5 of 20 Will be up Between tomorrow and Sunday. After That I'll be switching to Advent Moon for 5 pages. I'll be Swapping back and forth every 5 Pages until all 20 Pages of Fate Dealer are finished. After that it'll just be one comic story line at a time. Advent Moon is about 25 to 30 pages long.
