I've done a really short webcomic on starcraft a year ago but could not continue it beacause it took so much time to do :C OLD thread OLD WEBCOMIC I have a little update : I've been trying to do comic full time, and worked on the project again to make it edited here in France on paper (so I can get some little money ^^) Here is the improved version of the project, and there will be no mention to starcraft though it is obviously based on RTS : p ![[image loading]](http://full-scratch.net/images/forum/gb00entl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://full-scratch.net/images/forum/gb01b.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://full-scratch.net/images/forum/gb01entl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://full-scratch.net/images/forum/gb02entl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://full-scratch.net/images/forum/gb03entl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://full-scratch.net/images/forum/gb04entl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://full-scratch.net/images/forum/gb05entl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://full-scratch.net/images/forum/gb06entl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://full-scratch.net/images/forum/gb07entl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://full-scratch.net/images/forum/gb08entl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://full-scratch.net/images/forum/gb09entl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://full-scratch.net/images/forum/gb10entl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://full-scratch.net/images/forum/gb11entl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://full-scratch.net/images/forum/gb12entl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://full-scratch.net/images/forum/gb13entl.jpg) Thanks for any comments <3 | ||

Remember Death Note, light vs L? Especially the tennis match. That's sort of what makes me think this idea could work. | ||

Drawings and shades are good looking, which makes the reader able to enter easily in the story. I will follow you but I hope it won't be too linear or Manichean because we could already understand the full story. He will win this set of games without following his coach orders. He will be shy about the girl and will never get her. He will grow strong in the scene but will have to endure defeats that will prove he needs to improve with obvious captions about "never surrender, be the best beat the rest". Anyways, amaze us, make us dream, poor noobs who have dreamed at some points to be pros :p GLHF! | ||

Creo> My original plan for the story is as follow : The hero will lose his first match due to poor fundamental skills, he will then get picked up by an amator clan and his mentor will teach him from zero. This arc will explain how to improve in RTS game : p as the hero will go through several different internet cafe of different district of the town, each district will have a specific speciality in strategy ^^ The second arc will focus on the hero getting pro and living the pro gamer life from the inside and his everyday's life struggles. The climax will be the Electronics Olympics where he will face off his long time rival obviously : p and where he will make his 'game breaker' move ! This comic aims to be pretty humoristic though, but I have read (blog from pro gamers) and watch many documentaries on the subject and can play pretty decent (master level) so I hope to make it pretty consistent. I still think the girl character is difficult to integrated, because the pro gaming world is so harsh and currently barely suit girls at all ... So my girl character will be a little bit ... tomboyish and aims to be the first girl to beat a boy on TV. Thats her part ^^' Anyway, I'll be posting this project to editors in France, and authors have plenty of freedom to develop their story so I hope to get where I wanna go : p | ||

I was gladly wrong and it then seems much more interesting than I imagined! I guess we could identify very easily with your main character and get entertained while getting hyped for playing our own games! Good luck for getting in touch with editors, I know how hard it can be... especially on such a specific story! Are you on CaféSalé (http://www.cfsl.net/), some might help you with getting edited. | ||

Need license to play televised matches, Play televised match to win license?... As For the Characters: Matz, no fan of the name and his design is terrible, he has no edges, he disgusts me, very appalling. Do you know any 13/14 year old, they don't all look like justin bieber or have an asshole attitude. Kim, my favourite so far, he reminds me of Qxc, nice guy but with angermanagement issues. :D Kriss does not strike me as a leader, he should be higher ranked, or at least really good looking, or be tall or something. Emi, no comment yet, she does not emit any personality. Olfmann, oh man, I love him aswell. Someone to be scared of, would be funny as shit if his personality was the opposite. Uncle Stan, well, someone like that in "the real" world is not needed. I would give him a worn suit, he should be the manager, organize the team, fail to get sponsors, spend tournament winnings on booze and whores. And why does he look like a zombie, old men lose hair and they dye the rest before they turn 70 to look younger. As for the gamers, Albert is offputting, he is too comic in my opinion, he most likely will destroy any immersion a ready would build up. Overall I think your timing is god damn crytal. It's perfect. You should do story boards for movies. Just make sure you stay coherent (license thing, and is matz 13 or 14?), also I would totally advise to rework the main character. Take a young slayers_boxer for example. Esports should also be for the freaks, make him a LOT more edgy please. | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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 | ||

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 ![[image loading]](http://full-scratch.net/images/forum/gb_on.jpg) | ||

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. | ||
