The plans for Chapter 29 + Cover reveal
3 September 2024
Hello TGT patrons (and Discord, Twitter, or whichever communities you are a part of), hopefully you all have enjoyed Chapter 28.
I wanted to go over what our plans are for Chapter 29 to the fans. To give a few details about what the chapter is about:
- As mentioned by the last bonus page of Chapter 28, this will be another story focused chapter going over different characters, but with a focus on Tails in particular
- This will be a two part chapter (similar to Chapters 25 and 27). Both covers will be posted since there's not many crucial differences between the two. (Early Patreon subs might notice some slight differences from the original version as well...)
- There is a particular scene that Lazerbot had completed years ago and we are just now at the point in the story where it will play out...stay tuned!
The plan is, like Chapter 28, we will be completing the whole chapter and then aiming for daily pages to release. Originally we suggested this for Chapter 28 due to it being one whole fight scene and one page a day would help keep the pace quick and interest high, but seeing the positive reactions to this chapter has made us consider doing this style for the future as well.
To give a little behind the scenes info as well, Lazerbot also wishes to avoid a situation (which has happened before), where pages of a scene are released as the artist is still working on said scene. The artists may then see negative comments or questions asking "Where's the next page?", which, in turn, causes them to feel stressed/demoralized and delays start to happen. By finishing the whole chapter first we can avoid this scenario and get a nice, steady stream of content coming in.
It'll be a bit of a quiet wait while the chapter is being prepared, so in the meantime why not use this time to introduce some friends to the series or reread it as a whole? The wiki could also use some more editors as well. We'll try to provide occasional updates on the status of the chapter from time to time so keep an eye on our socials.
As with Chapter 28, when the chapter is close to being finished, some pages will start to go up early on the Patreon, and as the chapter is going, we will be releasing pages early for them as well.
The status of the spin off series
We've also come up with a plan for the spin offs. Before we had a more laissez-faire attitude with releasing the spin offs, ie, releasing them whenever progress was made or using them as filler when the main series needed time for the artists to finish the next page. Now, we're going to aim to complete a batch of spin off pages and then release them the week before each main chapter kicks off (Chapter 29 in this case) as a way of letting people know "Hey, Tails Gets Trolled is coming back". (Once again Patrons will be seeing these early as the time comes.)
We also felt as if the spin offs were a little underappreciated when being used as filler to buy time for the artists when there were delays between main pages, so we hope by doing it this way it will give them the spotlights they deserve.
Once again, hopefully everyone has had a good time with Chapter 28's release. If you'd like, consider subbing to the Patreon, or if you'd prefer a one-time donation, send some dolla over to the Ko-Fi or Lazerbot's PayPal directly. It helps out Lazerbot a ton and also, with the more money on hand we can help pay our artists even more for their efforts.
Until then, see you all next time for the first half of Chapter 29: The Hunt!
