Hello again! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you who stuck around and waited over 3 months for this update :D The enormous down-time made me think about when I used to do a scene three times a week and it reminded me of how much my life has changed in thee last couple of years. Thanks for all the support this whole time! All of you are the reason I make this comic and while I’ll keep making it, scene by scene :D
So! Updates! Let’s start with TPD2!
The game is still in production but, as you know, the game is created by two people, me and Rich. We both have lives to support and we both have had to find other projects to fill that immediate need. I have found a job that lets me be creative and I enjoy the people I work with. Luckily, it has allowed me to put food on the table these last few months. Rich, of course, is in the same boat of having to support himself and his family. So, Rich and I have kept our beloved team project at a slow pace but it is still in production. Again, I want to thank all the funders from the bottom of my heart for your amazing support and your unbelievable patience. You will see TPD2 one day and you will get everything you paid for and deserve :D
As for The Pocalypse itself, I was able to do a live stream of me creating this scene on Justin TV :D Thank you to everyone who made it out! It was great chatting with you! I’d love to do it again and maybe next time I’ll actually speak via my mic and maybe we can play something, instead of watching me click buttons for 4 hours :D If you want to watch the stream, I think your can view the replay on my channel: http://www.justin.tv/thepocalypse. That’s where I’ll be streaming from now on so stay tuned for future streams!
I’m not sure how long we’ll have to wait for the next scene but I don’t think it’ll be 3 months again!
A huge THANK YOU goes out to Dominic Longden, who created the song in this scene! :D
Enjoy Scene 17 – “Broken Reunion”!
You can follow The Pocalypse on Facebook, Twitter and RSS!
EDIT: I’ll be live streaming the creation of the next scene on Sunday, August 4 at 4:00PM EST on my JustinTV channel! (http://www.justin.tv/thepocalypse) Hope to see you then! :D
EDIT: Streaming now! :D http://www.justin.tv/thepocalypse Stream’s done! Thanks to everyone who joined me! :D I’ll be posting the next scene soon!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
fun joe dissapeard evil joe just sealed his fate and confused as hell joe will now be pissed off
I’m glad I keep checking on this comic. Hopefully you’ll have enough free time to make another one soon, Joe.
Wow, that was a nice scene for all our waiting. Congrats. :D
dagzter, the answer to your question is in the episode before this. go there and read the comments, that is where raj the turtle began
The ending pierced my heart T^T
I read em. They dont explain much though. Is Raj like a thing from somewhere or is it out of pure randomnesss.
@Alexis Was that a joke?
Dude!… Why?
WHAT. WHAT. WHY WOULD YOU EVEN
Totally worth the wait.
Dagzter it was pure randomness. But now it actually seems like a good idea.
Yay, the comic is back, the comic is back!! But Annika…… WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!
That son of a…. Will he ever understand that the power of chaos will never help things…. Annika….
OH FUCK!!!!!!
HOLY SHIT! I did not see that coming! :O DAMMIT JOE, MY FEELS!
Yay! Comic! *reads. gets to end. gasp* NO! ANNIKA!!!!!!
Annika, why T-T..
Victor, you *******, you should not have harmed Annika. Joe will tear you apart now
Goodbye Victor, it was nice knowing you … well not really but I thought I should be nice to a dead man.
I have to admit Author Joe, you keep the anticipation to a maximum, excellent, excellent work and hope the next one will be soon.
You’ve got fans here in Ireland anyway that’s all I want to say.
something tells me Joe is about to power up big time.
I waited more than 3 months. This is me and OJ’s reaction: FFFFUUUUUUUUUU good scene all in all.
AWESOME AS ALWAYS!
Though I think this is the first time I’ve heard that guy’s last name…
Adair, huh? I wonder where Grisia is? :P
I’m going to bet on Joe going psychoNova on Victor and manhandling him severely while Annika is being helped out. her dying at this point of the story would be a bit dumb in my opinion… If Joe were the type of person to suddenly kill characters Mayor Ludo would’ve died long ago!
die bitch die. thats what you get for wasting 3 months
I noticed something, Joe’s powers all end up being green while Sam/Rosa’s is white.
Sam’s playing a trick to make Joe kill Bad Joe, I just know it! Now I just have to wait a few months for it to be confirmed!
P.S. I miss the three updates a week… :[ This slow pace is killing me, but at least it’s still alive.
OMG I CRIED AT THE END WHEN JOE SCREAMED FOR ANNIKA OMG
NOOOOO! OAO Annika…
Anyway, awesome episode, A.J.(Author Joe). ‘Twas well worth the wait!
WHAT THE FRICK JUST HAPPENED!
I Think I just died a little bit
and now joe will go apeshit, batshit, and every other kind of crazy there is.
Thank you for updating, and not so thank you for such a dick move with this cliffhanger, i mean, if you were like updating weekly it woulnt be so bad, but we have no idea when you will give us next chap…
@ Fire – Life sucks get over it
Oh no he didn’t! Because that’s just cruel.
Why…?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO DIIIIIEEEEEE
I can’t wait 3 months again to see what’s going to happen ):
I hope you are happy, Victor.
Because now, you are going to fucking die.
JOE WHAT THE F*CK MAN
Monthlywaitguy says we will wait another month again D:
@Artemis,
So killing someones sister isn’t cruel?
How do you make your name glow and,
Monday
q: Whats the difference between an orange?
a: a duck because a vest has no sleeves.
@Niko
You need to add a link for your website. Also, not sure if part of joke is excluded, or just a parody of a joke.
in tdp2 should add an exp level to evety hero so that they can level up and get stronger
Glad to see you back! This episode was great. I absolutely love the storytelling and the fact that it makes you actually sad about what happens means that your doing it right! I also like the touch how you can still hear the burning in the replay screen. Welcome back, Joe! I’ve missed this comic.
Joe, is this Game of Thrones?
@Brad & Erik – Haha! That’s two Game of Thrones references! I’m flattered! :D
Joe I have to ask, do you already know how you are ending the story or do you know so far into the story or do you just write each episode as it comes to you??
@Pauric – A little bit of both! I know the general ending (which changes a bit every time I think about it :D) and there are many routes to take to get there. So, I go one scene at a time while I head for the end :D
@Joe Now I have to wonder how far are we from the end… :P (of the comic, not the world :D)
@Otter – We’ve got a loooooooooong way to go :D
Joe, are you planning to add another recap scene at the end of this “chapter” like you did in the past? I loved those!
