Just wanted to post a quick status update about the next batch of comics – sorry they’re taking so long!

In addition to Rog & Roll kind of blowing up way beyond my expectations, and the typical freelance stuff chipping away at my time, this storyline has just… proven to be way harder to plot out than I expected. It was originally going to be a B-plot of the Arika/Food World story, and making it work as its own thing has wound up being more challenging than I though. But! I am working hard on it.

So yeah, I haven’t forgotten about Badnix! It’s more important to me than ever. But that also means I want to make it better than ever! Hopefully I will have some good stuff to share soon.

The world’s worst-kept secret is at last revealed: I am in fact making a Badnix video game!

Yeah, I know you guessed it already. Of course everyone did! But I didn’t want to get too carried away promising things before I was sure this game was actually going to happen. And I’m pretty sure now!

The plan is for this to be a full-length 2.5D platformer, starring everybody’s favorite walking tomato, as he rolls his way through exotic locales like Wood World and Sky World in a quest to free his fellow monsters from King Metafoblin’s latest scheme. The game won’t cover the events of the comic per se – it’s going to be more of a standalone AU kind of thing – but you should expect to see all kinds of familiar characters, monsters, locations, and more from the comic, rendered in 3D 8-bit glory.

I’ll be posting a lot more about the game in the near future, and probably even moreso over on my twitter account (there’s a video of gameplay up there now in fact!)

And if you’re in the Pittsburgh area, I’m planning to demo the game live for the first time ever at the Bitbridge Halloween Showcase this Wednesday. I dunno how many Western Pennsylvania peeps I have in my readership, but it would be fun to see some of you there!

At the time of writing, the Ted vs. Alien story has come to its shockingly lowkey conclusion, and the whispers on the lips of Badnix readers everywhere form a single refrain: what now?

Well, you know the drill – I’m currently buried under a mountain of non-comic obligations, and can’t launch into the next story for a bit. HOWEVER! One of those obligations happens to be the secret project I’ve been hinting at for a while.

If all goes according to plan, I’m going to finally be publicly revealing this really cool new Badnix-related project in the extremely near future. And then I’ll be showing it off at a public event later this month! Expect to hear more about that very soon.

Not promising anything, but I might be able to do some special comic stuff for Halloween, also. I have a good idea for it! Just a matter of if the timing works out. And then the next major story will probably start either late this month or early November. Stay tuned!
