Thank you all for waiting so long for this one! :D
Please expect and understand that future scenes will take just as long or even longer to produce and upload. Please follow me on Facebook, Twitter and RSS to stay updated on when I make new posts! :D
Now that I’m fully shifting gears to Green Pixel’s game art, I will be posting updates here about our games’ progress (ie. Dr. Vile and TPD2). I want to get these projects done so you guys can finally play them! :D
Also, for anyone who’s worried about The Pocalypse ending: stop worrying! :D The Pocalypse will not end until the story is over. Yes, updates will be slow but I don’t plan on stopping. On the contrary, I have some pretty ambitious plans for The Pocalypse and I expect to fulfill those plans, even if they take years to do :D As Confucius said, “It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.” Great words to work by :D
Enjoy Scene 16 – “Under Attack”!
Again, thank you all so much for sticking by The Pocalypse and I’ll work as hard as I can to make all your waiting worth it :D
Vote to see all the enemies that you’ll be facing in TPD2! Good luck to us humans! :D Please vote for The Pocalypse here everyday! Thank you for voting!
I stopped being impatient, now i just don’t care about it.
Sooo… Anybody wanna play chess?
I’ll always care. This is my favorite webcomic. I don’t know when Joe will update next, but I still plan on being around to see it. I have to agree though, this is a bit too long. It’s already been a month, and Joe normally at least drops by to say hi, we’ve hardly heard anything from him in that time.
To pass the time, I’m kinda thinking about doing an RP. Anyone else interested?
@BloodWolf I mean i don’t care if he uploads or not, but i didn’t stop watching the comic.
And, what is a RP?
@Erik Role Play
@Erik
RolePlay within the forums
maybe, what kind of RP?
as in what would it be about
last I checked, an apocalyptic world where you determine your character and background, as well as possible powers then go on missions
Sorry for not checking in, everyone! :D Yup, I’m still around and I’m still checking the site everyday! Thank you for your continued patience! Unfortunately, I haven’t found time to work on the next scene yet :( And, I agree with RP-ing in the forums! If you guys start a The Pocalypse-related RP, I may get some ideas from it! :D
Joe, we all miss you. But, those of us with regular lives, read, job holders and college students, we know how hectic life can get. Those of us that really want to see the next scene, and lets face it, most people who watch the entire comic want to see how it continues, will wait around. Do what you have to, but please don’t make us wait until June. :)
Hey Joe. Out of curiosity, how far are we in the storyline right now? How many chapters are you planning to include in the remainder of the comic?
Crossover with The Walking Dead!!!!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTh-U3rK91o
DAAAAAAANM!! So Victor got Joe… well the world might end just because of him…
Hey, Author Joe, just curious but couldn’t Victor be beaten if Sam and Rosa attacked with their minds? Also I think Joe might beat Victor if Annika is involved… so the real question (to everyone but the creators…sorry) Is who will have the body? Joe or Victor?
“Crossover with The Walking Dead!!!!!!!!”
No….. Please no….. Ten thousand times I say please no…..
@hiei I think the real question is who is the original bodies owner and if it is joes body how did victor get in and vice versa
Englisch is ja wohl mal total einfach zu erlernen -.-
Mal davon abgesehen steht euch Amis und euch wannabe Spaniern der Rassismus echt net gut zu Gesicht. Ahja kleiner Hinweis an alle Amis: Ihr habt keine Kultur und ihr seid kein Volk, ihr seid ein bunt zusammengewürfelter Haufen von Nachfahren derjenigen die es in ihrem eigenen Land zu nix gebrach ham. Dieser ganze Rassismus und Fantatismus immer… aber wir sind ja die bösen nech? o0 So und das ganze schreibe ich auf deutsch damit der neue Trend des in der eigenen Sprache schreibens hier fortgesetzt werden kann. — Btw: America sucks and this here is another month without an update…
@Jareth:
Cool story bro

@Jareth
That was surprisingly readable, considering I only took the first half a latin class.
Sorry that people often fail at connecting with their heritage’s around here. It can be hard if one only has second hand information to get anything beyond the accent right, much less remember important things from neighboring cultures such as Germany.
I couldn’t read enough of the second half to know the answer to your question, sorry that I have yet to learn that much latin…
Yup think its time to delete this site from my favorites.
The comment box opened again :D
Erik- YEAH! Hopefully this is very goodnews!
could you at least make an update that doesnt add a comic?
@Jareth:
You know another German who liked to start fights for no good reason?
HITLER.
Hitler was Austrian, just saying!
@Jareth:
I respect all races, religions, nations and sexes. What I don’t have time for is bigotry.
I hope you continue writing in german as it is refreshing and allows me to brush up on my less used skills but please don’t post things like America sucks. I mean seriously do you know that ALL of America sucks? Have you seen all the states, have you ever been here?
I would love to visit Germany or anywhere else for that matter! Use my skills but alas I’m not rich. :p As for everyone else, lets keep it civil please. This isn’t a forum board for flaming, this is someone’s personal site. Up until now I haven’t read these posts and sadly i’m at a loss as most of the time the comments are quirky and funny. But ‘as usual’ the internet allows us to become flaming jerks, without borders and claiming total anonymity.
@JOE! Looking forward to the update bud, keep up the good work!
I hate to say this Joe, but please, we are all begging you, PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THE POCALYPSE. OR AT LEAST MAKE SOME COMIC STRIP VERSIONS. THOSE CAN’T POSSIBLY TAKE AS LONG AS A FULL ANIMATION. WE WON’T CARE ABOUT COLOR OR DETAILS. I LIKE TO THINK I AM A PRETTY PATIENT GUY, BUT THIS IS STARTING TO IRRITATE ME
@Pseudonym Just stop caring about it. Look, I was impatient, but I had an idea. Check the page once a day, like at night. Check the scene, if no new scene, check the comments. If not, get into 9gag or play a game!
Wow, some of you guys are pretty ungrateful and impatient. Get a grip. Please ignore them Author Joe, there are more important things in life than providing an awesome webcomic for free. Hope you and your family are well.
@Jareth:
Not sure if you’re a troll, but you are embarassing yourself. Du beschwerst dich über Rassismus, lässt dann aber selbst extrem rassistische Kommentare ab. Da dreht sich mir echt der Magen um.
Guys i have a message from author joe about the future of the comic and of his where abouts,please take a minute to watch the video please its very touching.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
@Pauric
Yes, I know, but he also held a German citizenship. Ergo, he is also German.
@Wayne Mangham http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWOwIewXLP0
I wish people would stop posting internet troll videos from five years ago, it makes me sick that this site is being defiles like that.
@Joe I know everyone has been yelling about updates but they do have a point, it has been over a month and now if you look at the update log, you would think it is a last update. we all are hoping you update the comic and are still alive.
also @ the people who don’t read enough homestuck that is MY OWN typing quirk, so no double i’s, or two’s, or word replacement. If you wondering why, I stopped typing with it because it is hard.

1) whats latin to do with that? well yeah latin is one of the origins of this language but thats it o0
2) Hitler was from austria.
3) Dont call it Schnitzel
4) Nein ich bin weder ein Troll, noch bin ich rassistisch. Ich habe lediglich die Wahrheit gesagt.
5) Ich finde die Ironie hier herrlich, nicht-deutsche die Deutschen die Nazi-keule um die Ohren hauen und vorher selbst rassistisch wie sonst was sind ^^ herrlich. Jemand Popcorn?
Last time he updated we started rumours about the pocalypse end. Maybe that will work now!
an update with news at least would be nice.
Have any of you realized that Joe could be working on the game we donated money too.so which is more important, something you paid for or something you getting for free.
@Jareth:
Wenn du hier als Nazi beschimpft wurdest hab ich das verpasst, was durchaus sein kann. Dich als Nazi zu beschimpfen nur weil du Deutsch bist wäre natürlich unangebracht. Aber einfach mit eigenen rassistischen Kommentaren zu Kontern bringt wirklich gar nichts außer, dass du dir und Deutschland einen schlechten Ruf einbringst.
“Ich habe lediglich die Wahrheit gesagt”. tut mir Leid aber das ist einfach nur bullshit.
“Hinweis an alle Amis: Ihr habt keine Kultur”. Falsch, Amerika hat eine deutlich ausgeprägte Kultur, ob sie dir nun persönlich gefällt oder nicht.
“und ihr seid kein Volk” klingt etwas seltsam, wie definierst du hier Volk?
“ihr seid ein bunt zusammengewürfelter Haufen von Nachfahren” so ziemlich die einzige Wahrheit in deinen Statement. Heißt aber noch lange nicht, dass sich daraus keine Kultur entwickeln kann.
“derjenigen die es in ihrem eigenen Land zu nix gebrach ham.” Falsch, und hier ist der Rassismus (im Englischen würde ich statt “racism” in diesem fall das Wort “culturism” benutzen, da du dich ja nicht auf eine “Rasse” beziehst sonder auf eine kulturelle Gruppe) am deutlichsten, da du implizierst, dass alle Amerikaner Versager sind. Außerdem ist es einfach nur Respektlos gegenüber den Leuten die aus verschiedenen Gründen (ja unter anderem auch den Nazis) nach Amerika geflüchtet sind. Viele davon hoch intelligent, Wissenschaftler und Künstler etc.
“america sucks”: wenn das keine wertende und verallgemeinernde Aussage ist dann weiß ich auch nicht. Jedenfalls keine fakten!
tl,dr:
Countering racist statements with your own racist or culturist statements helps noone and only makes you look bad.
@ everyone:
Sorry for derailing this comment section. It just bothers me when people engage in racist or culturist discourse. I promise this was my last post on the matter.
@ Everyone
Ever heard the phrase put enough monkeys in a cage with a type writer and they will create shakespeare?
I think it applies here…
Ok, nothing personal Author Joe, but when I start to forget the plot and I had to go back reading every post just to remind this and that, well, that’s the time to quit reading a webcomic. Nice job though… Good luck for the future! Bye!
Joe,
Are you alright? I hope things are going well. This long of an absence tends to make me feel that something really big is happening in your life right now. A fresh perspective can be helpful.
@Mark and all – Thank you for your concern! I feel loved :D I’m just fine, just really, really busy. Busy enough to keep pushing the next scene back and back :( I want to get Green Pixel’s big game projects out of the way (including The Pocalypse Defense 2) so that we can focus on smaller projects and, of course, the webcomic :D With my full-time job taking up my weekdays, I’m sure everyone can understand that these plans will be a slow process. Also, I understand that I will be losing readers as a result. I fully expected that and I understand how you all feel. All I can do is thank the people who are sticking around and supporting The Pocalypse! And, to all the readers who are leaving, I hope I can win you all back one day :D Thanks for checking up on me!
Joe while i understand the frustration of the other readers i also understand how hard this will be for you with the new job. You have done a great job until now, and i for one will not be leaving because of a slow down like this. Good luck to you in your job, and i hope that things settle down for you soon so you can come back to us.
Joe, have you considered getting someone to help you continue doing work on the webcomic? He/she would be responsible for the bulk of the work when you can’t do much, but you would be overseeing and making sure his/her work is consistent with the direction you want to take with The Pocalypse
@Casey Anderson – Thank you very much! I make The Pocalypse for fans like you :D
@Jhfds – Yup, I’ve considered that :D
