Shifting Gears! | March 7, 2013

by Joe

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 really love the Pocalypse, for real. I know that you have a new job and all… But please, as a true fan, make the new scene. This cliffhanger is killing me! :) (English is not my first language, I am sorry if I have any mistakes.)

Joe, think about my Pocalypse survival game idea! Imagine being a random survivor(customizable!) somewhere in the world. You have to look for a place to live, some food(maybe), and more supplies!

It is very good to hear from you Joe. I feel like I should ask for some reason: How has your baby been doing? I’m guessing this new job is cutting a bit into your family time as well as your comic time…

Just found your comic. Caught up in less than 12 hours…actually yelled profanity, realizing I caught up to a cliffhanger. Now I have no excuse not to do dishes and laundry. Congrats, Sir you have given me a superb story to fall in love with. My hat is off to you.

Joe,

Do whatever you have to. This comic is one of those brilliant ones that will always have a core base, because it is just that awesome. Same with a number of other comics I read. I have also discovered that the best comics I have ever read, sometimes require ridiculously long hiatuses at times. Life is a pain that way. Homestuck, for its flash animations; Bazzelwaki, for all of its brilliant art and the troubled Ben Prager. Hell, even my own artist friend who is incredibly brilliant. As long as you make something worth making, don’t worry about how long it may take. Good art is worth it.

Really enjoy the comic! I’ve been slowly reading it for over a year now. I understand how much a full-time job can put a damper on your life. Can’t wait to see the next episode :)

At least make a post about the game progress, post pictures of the game, etc… most of us understand your situation, but you should communicate with us more often.

Joe, if I recall, there was someone who made a Pocalypse guest comic in the same style as you. You could see if he/she/it would be willing to make a few episodes while you are busy.

There’s a typo in this comic. Near the beginning Bernie says, “T-trust me Joe. I only want the best for you. I want your reunion with Annika to be bring you some peace and clarity.” Shouldn’t be a ‘be’ there in that last sentence. :P

I think Pseudonym is onto something. It’s not a bad idea, and it would keep the less patient among us coming back. I’ll be sticking around regardless, as I’ve always liked your work.

Joe, I am not trying to make this sound mean at all, but, you have been making us wait for the next episode of the Pococlypse for way to long. Take a break from the game for a day and make an episode please

@Joe, this is cruel… you stopped at one of the moments with the most suspense then make us wait for at least 2 months? Just make an episode to stop the suspense about what is happening because it has been a very long time since the last episode. Maybe you could finish one by tomorrow?
