Without the darkness, there can be no light.

Premise
I no longer have the desire to hack. However, I do have the desire to still tell the story. Lately, the medium in which I have put much of my interest is comics. Thus, I have decided to create my own. Devourer of Worlds in comic form will give me much, MUCH more freedom to do what I like with the story in addition to making use of the graphics that everyone contributed so long ago.
Note that this comic will be very similar to the hack. However, since that story was planned over two years ago, there will definitely be changes. Also, as I said, I have much more freedom to write the rest of the story now.

Basic Storyline
Will write later.

So far, here are the first two pages of Issue #1.

Those of you who have played the Prologue of the hack will already know what happens. In fact, those that have played will know pretty much exactly what happens for the first few chapters.

It looks pretty awesome

I like the zoom-in effect

and I'm looking forward to more

[fuzz94]

Wow, this is really cool!

Looking forward to more, especially battle sequences since much more can be done with them.

Good luck!

What he said.
This is a really good idea, very unique and original - which is something you don't really see in today's scene. Me wants more

Lately, the medium I have been reading is comic books (to put it in perspective, I've spent well over $2000 this year on comics alone). So I decided to try and make one - FE style. Besides, all these people helped me make the sprites, so I'm going to make sure they go to good use. As of now, there will be as many issues as there are chapters in the hack. This is subject to change, as some chapters may be combined with others or bigger chapters will be split into two or more.

I imagine you get along well with your students.

Also check out the Mass Effect and Dragon Age graphic novels. Worth reading, even if you're not familiar with those franchises.

Yay more chapters . Keep going, these look really good.

[flyingace24]

Alright. I edited the first post to organize it a little bit. And now that I'm done beta testing The Last Promise, I can get back to work on this.

Issue #1 was only 5 pages, which was pretty short. I'm currently working on Issue #2, and so far it is 14 pages (and I'm not even done). I will probably be done some time this week. Possibly next week, we will see how my schedule goes.

That sounds pretty and all, and I hate to be the guy who nitpicks at this, but technically it's the other way around. Darkness is created by obscuring light.

[flyingace24]

It's a quote by the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu. The full quote goes like this:
"Everything must have its reverse, for without darkness there can be no light, without war there can be no peace, and without hate, there can be no love."

And yes, you are looking at it technically rather than metaphorically.

[flyingace24]

Yeah. Sorry it took so long. I've just been trying to get ready for the school year. Anyway, here is Issue #2. Now that the first issues are done, I'm going to be starting on some story arcs. From this point, the comic will be a bit different from the hack (you will already notice differences in Issue #2). The first arc will be titled "Heart of the Fang." In addition, I am planning on doing a #0 issue some time in the future in order to create the setting for the continent the story takes place in. But that won't be for a few issues or so. So without further ado, here is Issue #2.

Issue #2: Fallen (Click Here To Hide/Show Text)

[flyingace24]

Yeah so... This is pretty much dead. I don't really have any time to even work on this with everything going on. Even if I do get time, I doubt I have any motivation to actually work on this. I am just really out of touch with this storyline. I don't even know what I want with it anymore, so I am just going to drop it.

Hey, the Devourer series has had me going for the last 7 years from when I started on Devourer of Time to now (though there was a huge time gap from when I actually worked on it). It was fun while it lasted. Sorry to those who were looking forward to anything.

[Fire Blazer]

Aww ;(

Sorry to hear you're not keeping it up. It was def interesting and I was def looking forward to it. You're part of why I continued hacking for as long as I did, so it's kind of sad to see you not only stop hacking, but the general story-making and idea-making involved with it (as hacks are just one medium of sharing such things, IMO).

[SmashedFish]

I only just found this today, and I was pleasantly surprised! Until I read that you were canceling the series, that is. I'm sad to hear that there won't be any more of this, but I want you to know what what exists to this point is quite amazing, as are you for making it.
