E1P6 is up! Click Here!

 

What an interesting past week, I almost lost the comic! I was working on episode 1, page 5, scene 5 when the computer froze, so I rebooted. Then, when it got the the Windows 98 screen (still not actually in windows) it got stuck. The little animated bar at the bottom still was moving but, even after 15 minutes it was in the same stage of booting up. After a few reboots, it quit showing the windows screen at all. After working for hours to repair it to no avail, and cursing at the fact that I was about to lose everything, I decided to try making this hard drive secondary to our old junk one. It actually worked, and I was able to boot the computer up and even access the now secondary hard drive.

 

I later found the problem, when it saved scene 5 and froze, it left a bad spot on the hard drive. Oddly though, the windows folder has simply disappeared. So I'm going to have to use this junk hard drive for a while.

 

I've spent the past three days installing all the programs I need to continue my projects (including the comic) on the junk hard drive. And then yesterday, another problem appeared. The monitor just simply went out! We replaced it with a very small, very old one, but it won't last long.     =/ 

 

Anyway, E1P5 and E1P6 is up. The next will be up soon.

Well, I got the site up! I rushed though, so I'll re-write most this stuff later. But first, I need to finish E1P5, so I'm going to go get started. Later!

Hi, I'm David Sprague, and I'm the main "author" of "The 8-bit Comic". I'm the guy who actually puts everything together. Scouring the net for great background photos... Resizing the tiny characters... Adding speech-bubbles...

 

So basically I do all the work.

 

Ok, so maybe some friends help a little. I'm going to admit that I'm not the best writer, so my pal Tom is the man behind most of the story and jokes. Oh, and John bugged me till I changed "Townville" to "Urbanville". Apparently Townville sounds too much like Townsville.

 

Anyway, we are just starting out and want to know: what do you think of the comic? And how does the site look? Drop me a line!
