The Last Poster Wins! [v23]

[Noblejanobii]

Yeah I get that! I’ve been working on my comic bit by bit on the side too!

My comic stars Lucky the shiny eevee and Isaiah the Bayleef as the members of Team Backstreet. They’re an exploration team stationed in the northern part of the country known as Phaydin. Working alongside Rescue, Adventure, Hunter, Treasure, and other exploration teams, they help rescue people from dungeons as well as explore them to classify them.

That said their jobs are not getting any easier as the number of dungeons continues to grow by the minute. Supposedly spawning from the essence of the spirits of the apocalypse, each dungeon can fall into one of five classifications, with each classification presenting their own unique challenges. Everything from zombies to cultists to life sucking fungi can be found in these dungeons depending on what classification they are. The problem is though, since no one knows exactly what sparks the creation of a dungeon, there’s no known way to stop or reference them.

That’s where Team Backstreet comes in. Along with some help from another exploration team, known as Team Fireball, they’ve been doing research into the long held myths of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, said to be the souls of former human heroes who saved the world in the past. By researching them, Lucky and the gang hope to find a way to reverse the dungeons and return Phaydin to a peaceful nation.

Yeah, it would be nice to have a PMD story that really goes much deeper into the whole basis for Mystery Dungeons rather than just saying "oh, they happen as a consequence of weird stuff going on." Nothing really gets into the heart of explaining the reasons for this, so it would be cool to see something finally take a stab at it.

Maybe we could be motivation buddies and push each other to finally get these off the ground and make them a real thing. Although for me, I'd like to have at least ten pages done in advance before I start posting anything. That way I know I have solid ground I'm working on rather than try to start something but then have it go flat on its face almost instantly in front of everyone. :P

Yeah I’ve always been a big lore person so I’ve done some really specific world building about how dungeons come to be and what’s needed to reverse their presence etc. I’m really excited to share it one day but I can’t get into too much detail because it’s spoilers unfortunately.

Yeah definitely! I’d love to see a gritty PMD story. Your comic sounds like it’d be an interesting one!

I’m taking a similar approach with pages. I’ve got a few sketched thus far but I’m not posting anything until the entire first chapter is done. I’ve thumbnailed the whole chapter so I have it planned out so now it’s just a matter of drawing everything, which I’ve not been dedicating much time to.
