Let's Play: OoTS Adventures

[Darwin]

As some of you know I'm by now a semi-talented avatarist capable of drawing stick figures like the rest of you. My creative node has been on a bit of a lazy streak recently and I was hoping to revive it a little by running an adventure similar to the very popular MS Paint Adventures and all it's spinoffs.

So here's the idea: I draw a short strip (I'm thinking 3 panels or so) based off the input I recieve here from the boards, by you guys. Sounds boring? Unoriginal? Possibly a little over-exposed by now? Sure it does! But nobody's forcing you to participate :smallamused:

Thanks for the tip, the more the merrier. I did plan on introducing the world through the game though. To be honest I haven't even settled on anything. I think I'll wait until the character voting has finished tomorrow and I'll think up something where he/she'll fit :smallredface:

[Domochevsky]

A couple more tips:
1. Don't spoiler the image
2. The details are a tad small. You may want to spread the content out over two or more pics for this particular update so you can keep the panels bigger
3. End every update with a definite jump-in point for the readers, possibly even with the little "What will you do?" prompt

:smallsmile:

That being said...

> Unknown Protagonist: Pocket blade, try not to bleed out in doing so

[Darwin]

2 good ideas, I'll use those immediately, thank you for that prompt gif :smallbiggrin:

I'm not so sure I want to make the images bigger. This is roughly the same size as the one the giant uses. I'll likely experiment a bit with at first, but we should probaly be able to settle in with a good-looking format soon enough.

[Grim ranger]

> Unknown Protagonist: Check carried items and use healing ones, if aviable. If there are none aviable, use the ninja mask to make bandages for the wound. In any event, remove the blade and keep it. You might need a weapon soon.

[M@XWeru]

> Use blade to cut stylish banner into bandage-sized strips of cloth. Use bandages to bind wound.

[The Dark Fiddler]

>KN: Look around, leaving the blade in the wound. What if it's barbed?

KN of course standing for Kobold Ninja, lacking a proper name (and a scene where we give him a ridiculous name only for him to deny it :smalltongue:).

[Ninjaman]

Rip off some cloth.
Take out the sword.
Use cloth as bandage to wound.
Run forward, armed with the sword.

[Zefir]

> Have a giant epiloge and introduce yourself in a monoloug

[M@XWeru]

That's a monologue.

[Keveak]

>Keep sword and bandage wounds
>Then eat something, we are hungry

@Zefir: An epilogue is an afterthought, a message after the end of a story, etc. I'm not sure we want to end after only one page :smalltongue:

[Zefir]

Maybe he needs to make an epilog through the story that caused him to have a sword in his stormach. Or Maybe I just want him to have a giant speech bubble.^^

[Darwin]

> Pocket blade, try not to bleed out in doing so

It's hard to be a ninja with a piece of heavy, well-tempered steel jutting out from your stomach. Considering that you decide to remove the katana to improve your cool ninja factor.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/Boyzenberg/OotS%20Adventures/Episode_2.png

Cool ninja factor improved by 16%!

A setup? A rather unfunny joke? Maybe we'll find out next!

http://www.nudecreator.org/Domochevsky/GenGame/whatwillyoudo.gif


The images seems to get a little fuzzy when I pass it through GIMP. I'll try to find a way to align the frames in Inkscape for a better image quality.

[Domochevsky]

(Just the >_ prompt should be sufficent. No need for "input command". Also, center the command (bolded), picture and caption for better visual distinction. Keeping a specific format makes it easier for readers to recognize what's what part of any given update.)

> ???: Check whether or not all this blood is really yours. This Katana seems unusually unsuited for the purpose of making you bleed

...the Shadow Claw is a eastern jokeshop? >_>

[Cizak]

> Taste red liquid. Is it really blood?

[Zefir]

> As mentioned befor check wound and red liquid.

[The Dark Fiddler]

>KN: That was disgraceful, falling for that. Commit seppuku.

[Strife Warzeal]

>KN: That was disgraceful, falling for that. Commit seppuku.

That's samurai belief not ninjas.

[The Dark Fiddler]

That's samurai belief not ninjas.

Yeah well, what if it's a kobold belief?

[Bago!!!]

Taste blood and survey surroundings.

[Ninjaman]

Check the blood.
Run forward armed with sword.

[Grim ranger]

> Try to remember what got you into this situation. After that, check if the red liquid really is blood and if you really are wounded, or just have cut in your clothes.

[Keveak]

Maybe he needs to make an epilog through the story that caused him to have a sword in his stormach. Or Maybe I just want him to have a giant speech bubble.^^

An epilogue is unfortunately only made when the story (as in, the comic or book we are reading) is over, you might be thinking about a flash-back :smallsmile:

>Taste blood, then look for clues about the Shadow Clan

[zyborg]

>Sniff 'blood', and if it doesn't smell like poison but is still unidentified, taste it.

[Darwin]

Alright guys, it's been a busy day, and I'm off to bed. You have my word there'll be an update tomorrow.

[Darwin]

> Taste red liquid. Is it really blood?

A fake blade is one thing but what about the..?

http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/7531/episode3.png

We might have to put this one down..

Vampiric tendencies? Next he might start to glitter. Stay tuned for more, the time for voting has come

http://www.nudecreator.org/Domochevsky/GenGame/whatwillyoudo.gif

[mastermind]

> Look around room

[Domochevsky]

> Fight OFFSCREEN BLINDNESS by checking out the rest of the room
(Don't go "time for voting", just put the prompt under the caption to indicate what's up. Some more bolding could be good too for visual distinction (but that's more nitpicking than anything else). Also, ew: screen stretching. You may want to arange the panels vertically to get a grip on that. >_> )

[Grim ranger]

>Re-mask yourself, check inventory and look around the room.

[Bago!!!]

I second Grim Ranger's notion.

[Keveak]

>Look around room, tehre might be a cookbook for blood-based food!

What? Black pudding is tasty :smalltongue:

[Ninjaman]

Stop the bleeding

[Mercenary Pen]

Check Inventory or- if poor at spelling- check infantry

[Zefir]

>Use First Aid skill

[zyborg]

>Re-mask yourself, check inventory and look around the room.

This is an awesome comic.

[Darwin]

Better get that mask back on. You have a secret identity to preserve.

[Mercenary Pen]

I'm betting at least fifty- based on the rate of progress in GenGame, which uses a similar style (except in the art department).

[GreenMuffin]

Any bets on how many comics it will take us to get a kobold out of a dojo? :smalltongue:

Pretty soon, actually. I mean, we're left with only a flag, a table, and the pole the flag is hanging on. Since we might as well do it in style, I suggest:

>Tear down flag, wrap it around the pole, and zip-line your way out of the nearest window, doing a couple flips and landing on you feet unharmed outside.

The hat is kinda nice though. You think you're going to keep it and pose for somme hastily done crappy fanart.

[Zefir]

>update Story

[Darwin]

Right, sorry about the lax updates you guys. Thing is, I've caught the flu, and I haven't really had the energy to sit down and drown, especially since I don't have any of my templates, or a decent computer available. I promise things will get more regular again once we get into the new year :smallfrown:

[Zefir]

Hey no offer I just have the same problem with my stuff moste of the time I sit on an other PC and can't update it... what reminds me to do it now^^

[Darwin]

*Dons his Hubert Farnsworth voice* Good news everyone! I've finally arrived home after nearly 2 weeks at my parent's. This means that I now again have access to all my templates and a decent computer to draw on. You have my most sincere apologies for the delays we've suffered and my promise that there will be an update tomorrow, followed by a more regular update interval :smallbiggrin:

> Equip katana masterwork bastard sword, grappling hook, I.O.U note, and leave the other junk, like a true optimizer.

[Mercenary Pen]

Take everything. What you don't use, you can always sell.

[Akrim.elf]

Take everything
break shelf and make makeshift ladder ...

[Bago!!!]

Take the sais, a few throwing stars, and grappling hook with rope. If this feels to cumbersome, ditch the stars.

Why just those things?
Taking too much stuff would encumber a small sized creature in battle and in traveling. Travel light, don't overpack.

I feel the sai's versatility is greater than the Katana. Block, locking, disarm, enhanced punch/pummel, or stab. It also would be nice to conceal said weapon.

Throwing stars because their very useful for setting up some feints and just having any sort of throwing weapon has it's uses.

[Keveak]

>Steal everything, you know it's already yours but it's a matter of principle.

[Zefir]

>Take everything and left a Note: "I owe me some weapons"

Hey guys, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but we'll be on a short hiatus from now until Jan. 21st as I have some important finals hanging over my head. Hopefully we'll be back on track again immediately after :smallsmile:

Ugh! I just realized I had completely forgotten my promise to return to this after the exam period.

I'll be honest with you guys. Drawing comics takes a lot more work than I had imagined, and right now I'm channeling everything I've got into two things: my Campaign, and School. The comic has started to feel more like a chore for me than fun, and that's not the way I wanted it. In fact, I refuse to believe that's how anyone'd want it. :smallsmile:

So until further notice OotS Adventures is on indefinite hiatus.

I'd like to thank all my loyal viewers for your support and readership. I had fun entertaining you, and I'm glad I tried this out. I definitely improved, if not my writing skills then at least my drawing. :smallamused:

Sincerely, Darwin.
