some of you may remember a little thing called bricks and border, which was a campy AU based on many youtubers on the nerdy chronically online screenwave/newgrounds side of things. it starred fictionalized versions of caddicarus and scott the woz and many others. however, as many youtubers in that neck of the woods kept getting exposed for stuff, i felt icky writing it and decided to file off the serial numbers. and with that, oaksport was born!
oaksport is a potential webcomic i'm planning out. i also want to make flash animated shorts for it - the art style is meant to slightly resemble 2000s newgrounds stuff. this project is a slow burn but i really want it to come to fruition at some point. sometimes i dream about it being an adult swim series lol.
it takes place in a large city in the mid-atlantic area called oaksport, which seems normal on the surface but actually has some wild secrets behind it.
its newly-appointed mayor is harrison hunter, formerly the Retro Gaming Asshole, an OG internet celebrity who created videos of himself raging at retro video games. his younger brother, hayden hunter, has recently lost his big-time dream job in the city and is stuck working at the local retro game store with a cranky boss and drama-obsessed co-workers. however, he repeatedly notices a strange british man who keeps occasionally showing up near his apartment and his workplace. once he confronts him, he's whisked into a world of adventure and mysteries beyond his wildest dreams.
it's a comedy-drama-mystery with all sorts of wild things happening, but it also has a lot of heart and emotion. basically if you like scott pilgrim, smiling friends, and gravity falls, you're gonna like this.
