Wizard Town on instagram: Today I realized I had been thinking about and treating this panel as a Comic Panel, when in fact, it's of a scale and level of detail that it deserves to be thought of as an Illustration Which is an interesting distinction I hadn't considered before, and that a comic can have panel illustrations and full illustrations* intermingling, and with different respective processēs required. #art #illustration #sketch #architecture #apocalypse #sketchbook #process #comic #comics #comix #wizard #wizardtown *apologies for No Real Scotsman http://ift.tt/2bsXmzO

Manager Dog - Twize 0.4 Prototype

Manager dog, a still comic I made over a year ago, has been the test comic I’ve been using for the past three (gosh) months of basic Twize development.  And now it’s done!

Wizard Town doesn’t have actual hosting at the moment, just this Tumblr, but hopefully this will work: you can download manager dog from my Drive as a .zip—unzip it, open the .html file, and click to your heart’s content!

Actually, go easy on the clicks.  It may act weird if you try to advance the panel too fast.  That’s planned for a later version.  Note also that Twize is still very young, and I haven’t done a ton of compatibility testing for multiple browsers. I’m developing in chrome on windows—that’ll probably work best.

Manager Dog lives live on the internet here it its original 0.4 form.  I later updated Manager Dog to the more stable and aesthetically-pleasing 0.5, which while non-canonical, is the ‘better’ and ‘more complete’ version of manager dog:

Finally: I started another dev blog for actual development blogging, which I hope to maintain.  It might be a little opaque because I’m actually using it to write stuff down and talk stuff out, but if you wanna be a Twize / WT superfan, go follow that at wizardtown-innersanctum.  I just wrote a partial feature list yesterday which may be of interest to nobody, or possibly you.

I figured this wouldn't work but I forgot that I had "documented" this particular unfinished feature #wizardtown #twize http://ift.tt/2b30NiM

[wizardtown]

slightly more complete version of manager dog. now that things are "Actually Working", I get to have the enormously fun experience of deciding whether or not the UI is actually any good. I have a sneaking suspicion. #comic #comics #comix #process #wizardtown #twize #development http://ift.tt/29PzjcF
