    Rick Rocket? I hope he will return some day for sure. But for now, let's concentrate on new characters!

    Naaah, I am not the lie-type of guy. Technically, he DID return six days later :D

    Three updates a week, that's quite a challenge. One of my favourite nonsense comic series sadly doesn't even manage one... :(

    That's exactley why I'm gonna wait till the 1st episode have finished before reading it as a neatley packaged .CBR file on my phone ... I hate cliffhangers.
    I'll comment after the 1st episode has finished (it's great to see that you're realeseing it in "episodes" Marius ... before knowing that I had no idea on what basis I should make my .CBR files ... monthly or every season ... )

    Must be interesting, I believe in your taste Vaina ... :) will check that out later.

    It's pixelated. I'm not sure in how far Majus will try to mimic his original flash movie "Rick Rocket"'s reality, but in that movie Rick, quite illegally, used a low-res and therefore less energy-consuming reality for himself and his spaceship when the actual law said that high-res is imperative.

    That flash movie is only in German right now, which is pity... but with the information above, I think you could actually follow what's going on in there.

    Unfortunately, there's no English version... or Iranian... of "Love Love Beer". Sorry! :(

    Huh ... so that explains all those "will there be Rick Rocket in it" conversations between you and Majus ... So he's an old character ... Thanks for all the info :)

    You meant Persian, right? ;)
    That's shame. I like that comics style, and I love non-sense stories ...

    I wonder if I can use that crappy google translate to understand it ... I say crappy because it's utterly inaccurate when it comes to translating Persian to other languages or vise-versa ... :(

    I did expect Majus to translate Rick Rocket to English though ... if not for all the English visitors attracted to his site for his Monkey Island flash-films at least for all the new-comers to his Rick Rocket character ...

    I'd like to see it in English as well. I did watch the German version, and liked watching all the pretty pictures, but didn't really get what was going on too well.

    The story and the world around Rick changed a lot, and the laws of physics and rules of this universe aren't the same as the ones from flash-movie.
    Ricks hair won't be unmentioned in the comic, but better don't ask him about that, he hates that topic.

    I'd love to, but right now, there just isn't enough time. But as I said above, the comic is pretty much a complete reboot anyway. We will however start to introduce some old elements with a new spin very soon (wink nudge armwave). It'll take some time though. Right now, our heroes are a bit busy with their crashing spac--SKYYSCRAAPEER!!

    Hey!

    A few hours ago we released the final comic-strip of episode 1, "A Heart of Cashmere"!
    Link to the beginning of that episode.

    So what do you guys think of the first chapter of our Rocketmen-story? What are your thoughts on the characters? Are there things you want see more of? Did you stumble upon stuff you especially liked or disliked?
    We're very happy to read your feedback and comments.

    The crew is taking a small break, and will return with episode 2 in a few weeks. That one is going to focus more on Rick, and his relationship to his family-name. Also, there's a princess involved, hilarious!

    Woohoo!! Awesome!! :D

    I've been reading this regularly since the start and all I can say is bravo!
    As far as things I particularly liked.. well, Kashmir was absolutely hilarious, and the Ace Attorney reference in 1.20 made me laugh quite a bit.
  • edited May 2011
    I loved it! The design, the characters, and the locations are all so great. Kashmir has to be one of the greatest villians I've seen in a while. :P I also like that it's in traditional black and white. It works well. :)

    Well, I uh... mmm I can't say anything now!! :D
    I did not give up on any of my projects, that includes Sea for Two, Kauff and Gustav (show + comic strips + game), Jekyll/Hyde song, SciFi Project, LOTR Parody AND the...thing I can't talk about...not to mention that other THING that only you know about, Mr. Vainamoinen... HA! :rolleyes:

    I just have final exams in this period. I'm giving it all she's got, Cap'n!

    Micro Adventures!

    The next Rocketmen-episode will arrive in a few weeks, but no worries, we have Micro Adventures! Silly, silly Micro Adventures! It’s a whole Rocketmen-story, stuffed in only one comic-strip!

    It involves mindblowing panels like this one:

    Klick here or on that picture in case you actually want to read the crews first Micro Adventure!

    Stylus strokes are a bit too basic (or "artsy" ;) ) in this first Micro Adventure installment. The perspective in panel 6 and the final butler's punchline in panel 10 get a little lost that way. Still, it does make for an exiting and undoubtedly dynamic read. Looking forward to more. :D

    Please, kind Sir! Us Geniuses need time to create masterpieces!

    ...but I do agree, hurry up, Genius!!

    Yeah, you told us there'd be Rocket, Majus! Don't make us start chanting outside your house with pitchforks and torches!
  • edited July 2011
    Oh yes, I am genious about release-dates!

    Sorry for the delay people, I am working on a filmproject at school right now, which takes more time than I thought... but I will get back to Rocketmen in august, and I'm looking forward to that. The script of episode two is good stuff!

    The movie I am working on right now: An animated one, with pirates, ha ha. But wait, it's real pen and paper animation, so theres some variation compared to the flash-stuff!

    In other words, he's drawing-by-hand about 1000 images.

    Pray that he doesn't go mad and then turn Rocketmen into a Spanish soap opera.

    Super-bump!! August is just swooshing by, and it's not because I finally have some days of vacation!

    Well, I can... and Majus can as well! ...we're just SO busy!
