So, is the comic dead? Noticed that it's gone off of deviantart
SO... this is something I’d been meaning to make a post about for a few weeks now but couldn’t find the time -- this ask is a great way to get it done.
Rift is dead. Well, kinda. The answer is more complicated than that, because it’s a “maybe in the future” type of situation. Truthfully, we’ve just lost steam for this project.
We started Rift during a time in our lives when we had a lot more freetime and creative space, and it was fun to work on for those reasons! It introduced us to new concepts, ideas and ways of creating. We learned a lot, but the foundation of the comic is shaky due to how inexperienced we were. There’s so much wrong with it that we can’t fix without starting over, and... y’know, that’s not really an option? Rift already has an identity and a whole first issue; it’d be weird to go back to the beginning.
That combined with the fact we have other, more important things to focus on now means we just... can’t work on Rift anymore. It was a mutual decision that felt natural to us over the last few months -- back and forth with “i don’t know if i’m feeling it”, which made it clear to us both that it was time to call quits.
... But it may not be forever! We decided that calling this a hiatus was too generous, because it could be years until we decide to pick it up again, and that’s a huge if. Only time will tell, so it’s a big ‘til then.
The comic will remain available here, on tumblr, for you all to read. It’s been archived on DeviantArt, and I’ll be wiping the twitter clean at some point.
Sincerely from us both, thank you for reading our comic. Despite all the weird timing, updates, and everything else, this little project means a lot to us and it was very humbling to have so many people read it. If you like our work and want to follow our other creative endevours, you can follow us at our respective blogs: beeames & spacecolonie.
Thank you again. ✌️
