About Avalice Assassin...

Many of you might not remember this but way back in 2011. I started working on what was essentially going to be a Sci-Fi Fantasy Web Comic series called "Avalice Assassin".
The comic was set in Emerald Garden City. The Capital of "Avalice Kingdom" and set in the same universe, world, and era as the current game project "D-Resonate Sonata of the Phantasm". And was centered around a young laid-back and easy going Knight named Avaleese Sturm. Who over sleeps after stopping to take a nap on the day of her graduation from Avalice Academy.  When she awakens later that night. She soon discovers that she's late and rushes off to the castle, where the ceremony is being held. Only to discover that she has been framed for the murder of King Adeline Avalice! Now forced to flee from her home town with the help of Wallace Erde, a traveling merchant. Avaleese sets out on a journey across Avalice Kingdom, searching for clues regarding the death of the King. And to not only clear her name, but also get her honor back as well.

I mentioned in a Chat room to a user that the comic was going to start in 2014. Two years later then planned. Only now we are almost halfway through 2014 and I haven't mentioned anything about the web comic. And well there's a reason for that. At first I was going to do this quitely but then I rememberd all of those times. Where an obscure and favorite comic of mine would vanish without a trace. Leaving me to guess what happened. I didn't want that to happen to Avalice Assassin. Because while it's unlikely that this comic interested that many people. There's still a chance that there are a small few of you who might have been looking forward to this for various reasons. So it's only fare for that unknown few to know what happen to this webcomic and our heroine "Avaleese Sturm".

The Avalice Assassin Web Comic... has been canceled, for a few reasons.

1. Back in 2011, I had the plot direction, begining, climax, and ending planned for it. But was having a hellish time coming up with the actually meat of the story. And slowly began to realize that I may be trying to write a story that was at the time (and probably still is) beyond my abilities as a writer. Rather or not that was true didn't matter. As doubt in my own abilities was starting to kick in.

2. Mischief Knights. After that fell apart in 2012. I wasn't has excited about making another story as I was when I started working on that back in 2008. And was more concerned with trying to at least salvage the characters. Which as you all know I was eventually able to do with the current game project. "D-Resonate Sonata of the Phantasm". Which brings me to the 3rd reason. The final nail in this web comic's coffin.

3. The game project pretty much takes up most of my free time. And while I do take breaks from it to protect my interests and rest as much as possible. I'm normally not in the mode to start drawing comic strips. Since the game is now going to be require even more of my time. And since I now have another person working on the game with me. (an old pal from my High School days) I really don't have time to work on much else. Not to mention the other project I have planned after "D-Resonate Sonata of the Phantasm" which I can't wait to get started on. It's very much different from what you folks are use to seeing from me.

So there you have it. the reasons why the comic was canned. But that doesn't mean that Avalice Assassin as an IP is dead. I will revive this story at a later point in life. As a Game instead, and likely my first attempt at making an RPG/JRPG.

Also you all will still see me draw Avaleese from time to time along with some of the other planned characters. She's still one of my favorite designs after all. Just not as frequently. With that out of the way, time to get back to work.
