Description well here it is! a lot more work then you might think but it is true that since the illustrations are simple i'll be able to pump a Dave comic out pretty quickly.

a thanks goes to Dragontrap for making a pretty coherent guide on making interactive comics (you can find the guide here. )

there is a link to the website at the end but you can also find it here anyways.

so yeah, chapter 2 is on the way, should see it next month. i'd rather not stuff journal entries into anyones mailbox about progress or meaningless stuff so if you want to follow dave, check out the site. but don't worry i'll still be posting the comics here.

anyways, see you next month!

*edit*
the size is fixed now, sorry about that.

**edit**
ok NOW it's finished. god what a nightmare. there's still things im not happy about, but it will do for now.

***edit***
ok i've finally got it how i like it. i wish i could just change the resolution of the final piece but flash isn't nearly so flexible.

anyways it's good now so, whatevs.


****edit****
i have to give a big thanks to Jiakko for suggesting this for DD, if you liked dave, it would mean a lot to me if you checked his work out, or just said hi ^_^

thanks Jiakko! and thanks everyone who read my comic!

*****edit*****
now with back button and restart button, as requested (or merely suggested) by ChozoBoy.

i honestly thought about putting these 'features' in but i somehow talked myself into thinking they would harm the story some how... they will be implemented into future chapters.

HenryNine In reply to b0xman [2011-03-07 06:18:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, you're right, one of the guys in the movie is named Dave. I think you would like the humour in this movie, it can be of the silent type as in your story a little philosophical and absurd.

This is quite deep. Makes you wonder what life would be like if you were the only thing in existence, just searching for reason (if you were at all). I look forward to the next chapter ^^

Cool, quite existentialistic~ (I'm surprised that's a word!)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

b0xman In reply to jiakko [2011-02-28 05:17:17 +0000 UTC]

i don't quite understand existentialism, as it quite a complex philosophy, but i would say that from what i know 'solipsism' is a better way to describe Dave, specifically 'Metaphysical solipsism'. i'm not trying to correct you, this is just something I want to spread around as i find it interesting and worth mentioning. i'll likely do a journal entry or post on the website about what i think Dave is really about, but i'm not nearly that confident yet ^_^

anyways you were the first one to mention existentialism so you get the awesome explanation.

thanks for reading!

jiakko In reply to b0xman [2011-02-28 05:20:33 +0000 UTC]

It's alright, I didn't think you were. I would like to look up what "Metaphysical Solipsism" is now though. It sounds quite interesting.

Also, I should have put this in my original comment, but I think this deserves a daily deviation or at least a lot more views!

b0xman In reply to jiakko [2011-02-28 05:25:48 +0000 UTC]

sorry i meant to include a link:

[link]

if you looked you probably found it, but there is a fine explanation of 'metaphysical solipsism' near the top of that page.

i feel daily deviation is far too ambitious for this piece but thanks ^_^

how does this happen? i have no idea how the deviant art system works, did you help this happen?

jiakko In reply to b0xman [2011-03-06 21:56:38 +0000 UTC]

I guess, but all I did was suggest it. I'm glad it was chosen, though.

RanSerenader In reply to b0xman [2011-03-06 21:16:33 +0000 UTC]

In short, several gallery moderators (and a few others) are assigned to select Daily Deviations within their own gallery. This is usually by suggestion of a user. Anyone can suggest DDs.
More details here found in FAQ #18: Who selects the Daily Deviation and how is it chosen?

Bytheway, very nice thought provoking story you made there. I'm looking forward to chapter 2! I'll be keeping an eye on you...

Maybe a "restart" too.
