I like the artwork well enough, drifts a bit too far into manga for me personally (just not my cup of tea) but I can see the appeal and direction.

The story feels a bit thin, like there could be some kind of lead up or context given. This could come after this first bit structurally, but just my two cents.

It is really nice.

I think you should explain the games specific terms though. Like metagame, APM etc... for exemple, we as gamers know what it is but if you want to spread this it could be nice. For exemple, we all know what a katana and a wakizashi are but it's still explained in every samurai anime we see

Looks great so far!! Keep us informed

I honestly wasn't expecting anything going in but I'm impressed.

I like how the 14 year old is described as young man and the guy who is 35 looks like some grandpa. But it does look really good tho.

This looks cool, my only criticism would be only one female character, and her defining characteristic is "main character is in love with her"

Given that we're trying to branch our hobby out to women in a meaningful way aswell it might be nice if a few of the more important characters were women, or if she had some other function in the narrative than "love interest"

It might sound silly but as a fan of anime, I've found that the under representation of -important- female characters is a reall barrier to a lot of women that might otherwise enjoy the overall narrative of good show's/comics.

I know that in reality there are not that many girl gamers, and the ones that there are are not super l33t for the most part, but if thats something we want to change, a couple of role models in a fictional world might be worth some thought

Looks awesome in general though, great work

Raneth > My english translation of the character description was bit lazy ^^ my original intent was indeed to make her a strong character, even though she may not but the strongest her aim is to become the first female progamer to win a televised match ... but the road will be quite difficult : p

HaRuHi > the model I originally took my main character from was marinking :X a bit arrogant, pretty talented but no discipline ... I thought it was a pretty good beginning to try to mold him a better temper and add in discpline fundamentals to his playstyle.

One thing I found interesting in progamers life is how close it is to artists : ))
The ones who are stuck in the middle ranks in term of skill with no team support (editor, employers) are just screwed ... it is so competitive, you either try to improve to compete with the best or become just an entertainer ... I kinda relate to pro gamers in a sense ^^' Everybody wants to become one, but once they are on the road the difficulties are overwelming ... I wanted to describe this situation in a second arc !


Thanks for all your comments, it keeps me motivated ^^
bonus picture for you folks : p

Not bad, but one major problem: how do you fit in pretty girls into a comic about RTS gaming? I noticed that most of your characters are guys.

[The Japanese avoid this problem by making the game a dating simulation. Unfortunately you can't do that.]


You could. Halo-style - the girl is AI!

/edit

I like the comic so far but its still a bit too realistic for my taste. We need Yu Gi Oh level of overexageration.


No no we need YugiOh.

Also, this is awesome


To be more detailed, I was imagining the human-body shapes for Y G O. That level of uberexaggeration.


Hmm, I don't think that level of exaggeration is enough. If anything, it should be Saki-level of exaggeration where every player has some kind of super power for every swipe of the mouse and push of a button :D

Awesome indeed, but why are the players so young?
Typical Sc2 player is between 18-26.
Oh, and would be cool if you also included EAPM in the "stats" list. I guess that's comparable to NFL stations not just showing a QB's total passing yards, but his QB rating as well.

Why does the main character look like naniwa?
Skill is relative.
