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!

Wow I dunno it’s been 2 months and no word of anything? I think this is the end :[
Hopefully no one gets pissed about the game he was suppose to be making since he was funded for it and tries sueing or anything >> I mean… he did get ALOT of money out of it.

@Joe You know how to get people in their toes right? xD
Now, dont wanna be a burden, so i’ll just say that people are losing faith here,
some are scared the comic just stops and all that, so…..you know, it wouldn’t be a
bad idea if you just posted a comment or something right? ;=)

Wow…. I have been a reader from the beginning, but with this wait it makes me think that the comic is over…. Maybe have someone else take over so we can actually have a flowing comic?

Of course we do Joe! As for me, a comic on hiatus is always better than a comic that will be left unfinished. And even rushing up for a short low-quality scene just to make the impatient ones happy isn’t good – I’d rather wait two months more if that means keep the excellent quality standards The Pocalypse got up to this scene.

@Joe, You know how you have said that future episodes will take longer? Well are they still going to take longer to make even after the Pocalypse TD2 has been made and everything?

It’s been over two months now….. It really pains me to wait this long in anticipation of this. I for one cannot wait for the next episode, but currently I am incredibly dissapointed in how little feedback we have gotten from you personally.

Less of the blonde jokes, Niko. You know they can’t keep up, especially as they’re busy staring at a carton of orange juice because it says “concentrate” on it…

Well according to Ryan Sohmer, Joe doesn’t deserve credit now because he hasn’t updated: http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20080509/
Luckily for us, he is an asshole and we generally don’t care about his opinion on others and his sh*tty comic. :D

Anyway, I hope a new update comes soon, even if it’s just an entry.

As for the joke:
– What is the favourite sport of fruits?
– Squash
(I know it’s bad)

Otter, For your information Ryan made that in 2008 and not once does it mention Joe so don’t get mad at him.

1) Pocalypse up till this brake never miss a update.
2) Ryan Sohmer is or runs a comic studio, with over 3 comic he dose and a list of comic that work with him, rights books, and is making a cartoon about Least I could do.
3) this little brake is small compared to some web comic http://dresdencodak.com/ has taken a year off, and dont get me start on http://megatokyo.com/.

Not to detract from your post Chris but updates have been missed/late before. (With late being more common) But yeah, in this last chapter it wasn’t really a problem until now.

Joe, im lucky that i found your comments below this episode as i have kept checking back day after day and been frustrated to not see a new scene. I think many people will not see your comments and start to assume the pocalypse was dead so if i were you i would post a new update even if it just text to let everyone know you are still here! :)

Thanks for your hard work and all the best

Wednesday
So there is a tribe in Africa that kills random people and turn them into canoes. They capture three people. The are feeling nice and they let them decide their own death (Not including old age). So they ask the first person, he says he wants to have it quick and easy, so he take a bullet to the head. The second one says he just wants to be hanged. The third one says get me a fork. The tribe is confused but they get him a fork. He takes the fork, Starts stabbing himself, and yells “YOUR NOT MAKING ANY CANOE OUT OF ME!!!”. Lol.

I’ll be honest: This feels to me like you’ve stoped/slowed the update due to lack of donations. You are losing a huge ammount of followers, and that will directly affect your potential customers for the video game.
