Description
Next page -- Previous page -- First page


After a lengthy summer break, the comic is back on track! It took me weeks to figure out the right camera angles and actions on each panel, not to mention the dialogs... but at least we finally have a digestible page as a result. :3 The backgrounds may not be perfect, the pony proportions are messed up some places, but it's close enough.

The system Octavia is explaining is based a loot distribution system that we applied in my old guild (not invented by us, we just used it).

Next on Heartstrings:
Finally, I'm back!
I'll have to play the lyre yet though...
WHA- SERIOUSLY?!

I like vectoring in Inkscape more, gives me way more freedom. :3

Hm...first the blushing on Beauty Brass and Fiddlesticks, and now this. Methinks you're up to something...

Anyway, UPDATE! Yayness all around. I'm curious though, how do the other members of the guild treat Vinyl? Are will I have to wait and see for myself?

Why are Lyra and the guitar mirrored in panels 1&2? The wall markings show that only Lyra is mirrored, and in the last comic the guitar was clearly a right-hoofed one yet in the first two panels, just as in last comics last panel, Lyra plays a left-hoofed guitar.
Oh, and the audio jack cable is missing (Ballad summoned one in the last comic so it should be needed, right?).

TriteBristle In reply to Sioni [2013-08-21 23:54:19 +0000 UTC]

Fixed the cable, but if I'll edit the prev. page I'll make Lyra left hoofed everywhere.
Thank you!

I like how you make these little background events to keep us busy, just so that your readers don't get bored with unchanging scenes durring the necessary wall-of-text descriptions.

TriteBristle In reply to genstian [2013-08-21 23:06:30 +0000 UTC]

One who would want to give everypony the chance to choose their assignment, yet be fair enough to reward only those who deserve it. :3
Besides, it's pretty much like money: you earn tokens (bits), you spend them on things you want. That's pretty much it. :3

genstian In reply to TriteBristle [2013-08-21 23:19:07 +0000 UTC]

But it must be some complex math regarding events. I mean,

how much is 200 high-class canterlotians worth?
how much is 5000 "average" ponies?
how much is 200 party ponies?

And then comes locations, like, it's probably more worth to play at the castle, rather than some outskirt of the everfree forest.

They have a table worked out for most of the possible scenarios. :3
Octavia worked for weeks to sort out mostly everything about this.

Well, that certainly explains why the band was different in Sweet And Elite than in Best Night Ever, without having to resort to the sabotage efforts of Symphony in Ask Octavia. I must say, even though it's more complicated like this, I like this explanation better, as it more emphasises pony camaraderie and harmony. Nice to see this back~!

In the sixth panel up from the bottom.... I'd get rid of the "to" in the sentence.
"As for determining who can do to what assignment, let use say an event comes up that requires somepony who can play the lyre."

Also I am completely fascinated by this series! The story and how you really go in depth into the dialogue and characters. It's just so interesting. I can't wait to find out what happens next XD

Then consider it a "ponification" of one of the existing games. You could prob find someone to help make it. Great comic btw, love every update.
