Woohoo! I'm not late with a comment (for once :classic_ph34r:).

I don't know how it is possible but your comics style is getting even better than before with even more new and creepy locations, special effects (Jenny's turning into a servant of Darkness) and absolutely ghastly monsters (that's a compliment because they are incredibly realistic and revolting at the same time ?).   

 

I realize that your story isn't a comical one but the dynamic between 3 Jennies is really amusing (especially in the previous episode) and I caught myself wishing to see more of their adventures within their own psyche. It's just such a unique idea and their bickering while trying to figure out why they are so messed up is really entertaining. 

 

On a side note, those school corridors....Gods, Drunna, that's the stuff of nightmares. Seriously.  I don't know if you made it yourself or modified an existing mod somehow but it looks amazing! ?

I cannot wait to find out how Jenna will get out of her predicament (but she WILL get out...right? Yes? Hopefully? :flushed:).

As always, thank you for sharing your marvelous work with us. 

 

P.S. For some reason I didn't get a notification about this new chapter even though I made sure that I'm following your blog. ?

:love: Wow Amazing Work :heart: Chapter was long but felt so short as I was immersed in the story looking for what will happen next... :smiley::tongue: :tounge_xd: Well Done. ;):thumbsup:

Goodness, this is intense. In more ways than one. I want to believe real Jenna will escape, but so far things aren't looking that way ?

 

Great entry! I appreciate just how clear we can see Jenna's character growth in contrast to her alter egos. I wish there would have been more exploration on that dynamic, but they were eliminated pretty succinctly. Which really makes me question what the outcome will be and I dig it! I want Jenna to overcome what her past selves could not, but I also reaallllyyy wanna see what happens if she succumbs to it. I have some predictions ?

 

I'm glad I didn't have to wait long for this one, too ^^ Hopefully I won't have to for the next one either ;)

 

Edit: I also did not receive a notification like Devi. Not sure why ?

Hey thanks for all this crazy amount awesome comments!

Especially your comments about the “bickering” among the three Jennies! I’m getting warm fuzzes of happy hearing that from you as I always admired your bickering dialogue writing between Lady Eria and Cyrus!

Unfortunately, once I was finally getting a feel, spiriting more subtle, individual personalities differences within the three  . . . I had to go and cut one out :(

Would love to write more interaction among the three, but at the same time, events are picking up with the main story and things will be getting pretty hectic very soon!

I assume when you mentioned comic style that included using texts and overlaying across several panels?

I did that originally so I could somewhat tell which page was which in preview images and I guess I noticed how it worked and

accentuated certain emotions :)

I used meshes from Aether Suite, but retextured pretty much everything. Halo’s AetherSuite school was very, very Japanese looking in style, textures, and design/layout of the school. I wanted  to make it look more like an American high school. I did use Fallout4 textures for the double doors and floor. The ceiling I did myself as I pulled a picture of drop down ceiling pics off HomeDepot, aged and stained them with overlays.

I also learned you can only use two Shadow Lights per cell or else you will have lighting issues. So there are like 5 copies of the same high school cell but each with different lighting setups. If you look closely at the lighting, you can see where I accidently shot some scenes in the wrong cell.

You and everyone else should never need to apologize for posting  late comments, even waaaay past it’s original published date. The fact people are enjoying what I am putting out is what gets me moving to put out the next chapter!

If anything, I myself would apologize for not acknowledging your wonderful feedback and support, esp as I noticed I have a limited number of individual blogs I can notified of new comments :(

Gosh thanks! ?

Yeah and the scary/crazy part was that Chapter 10 and Chapter 11, parts 1, 2, 3, & 4 was originally supposed to be one chapter on my macro-storyboard outline ? 

 

I’m glad it felt short as I was worried the sex scenes, running and such would get boring or slow. In fact I had cut out a 4 page sex scene as it directly followed another scene and I  felt it was redundant - story beat redundant, the 2 sex scenes were still different.

Jesus... what did I just read through, a tad too extreme for my taste, but your story your rules I guess.

I'm just looking forward to the day she makes it back to Skyrim and rebuilds her order. ?

 

However, well done from a technical standpoint, judging by the screenshots this was quite a bit of work. Good job on that.

You know, I think I’ll send you a PM here a day before I release the next sections of Chapter 11 and ask your predications and see how close you were ! Don’t wanna ask here in case you were right or really close.

 

Oh trust me, I kinda felt bad writing this Chapter as I was able to feel the personalities of each of the three slowly develop into different,  but subtle personalities. I may be able to find a way to reintroduce them again, but that will be further down the road.  All I can say right now is,  if DA:Bk2 Horizon was a Marvel movie, we are getting close to the end of the Second Act!

Just awesome!

Love the flow of images and text!

Such a visual pleasure to behold!

I can't even imagine how difficult some of these scenes were to set up!

Bravo!

Yeah, technically,  I learned that when you setscale a creature enemy, your framerate starts to tank fast when you setscale to 8, 10, 15, and 20

The extreme (violence and sex) I've been making a mental note and consideration since Chapter 14 of Book 1. In fact I had cut out 4 pages that were ready to release with the rest of the comic for reasons, one of which being it did feel redundant as I told Jayomms, and the other was that it was more of the same rough sex which I know for some might feel too many.  I know the spectrum of sexual kinks and tolerances is absurdly varied that I cant please everyone while maintaining the tension, and tone of a horror centered comic (which apparently I'm still the only one)

I still have 2 or 3 Drafts of Stories from the "Tales of the Initiates" which one or two of the stories do go more into one of two of the sisters......more into as in character plot.

 

As far as this main Dark Ascension Story, I cant say much other than I am cleaning up and transferring some older worldspaces from Book 1. It may not be what you were expecting but hopefully it would be a Mandalorian and not a Last Jedi for you (unless you liked the Last Jedi then my analogy just sucked).

Good entry indeed.

— If we start by the cons, I'd say that in terms of scenario the Jennies/Jenna being born in a medieval world, they shouldn't have memories of XXth century classrooms, nor kinks associated to it. Also the darkness, which was amazingly pictured at first as a strong, slow, guttural voice slowly went out of characters by going into regular sextalk in the classroom event.

— Now there are too many good sides to mention them all.  The technical aspect is of course always remarkable, with the relative size of the characters, the custom backgrounds, the great expressions and poses. But scenario-wise, I think it was a very clever idea to have Jenna being drugged in order for her to reach her inner selves, with her multiple personalities and darkness within colliding. The inner world is a great concept, as it extends a lot the possibilities (would it be only by the simultaneous present of the Jennies). The staging, the the horror feel all along, and the creepy twists was excellent. Not to mention the mastered comic layout.

Really outstanding work overall, awaiting to see where this goes ! :D?

It's a well known LL bug, the notifications about new entries are only randomly being sent to followers. The workarounds are to unpublish and republish the entry right afterwards (which sends a second random run), or to use the manual notifications by writing the pseudos of the followers after an "@" symbol.

 

Should've evoked this in my library update. ?

Thanks sooo much!

Scene blocking is a pain, as I’m still trying to cut down the scripts ingame so it wouldn’t crash when I have too many NPCs.

Thanks so much!  Originally I was aiming for more of a slasher, hunted, horror feel to the story. It is hard to do jump scares in a comic book format - but I’m still trying.

 

im hoping to get the second half of Chapter 11 out within the next few days.

Oh Gods! It's really facinating! Dynamic chase, terrifying shades and zombies(?), sexy scenes and - my favorite - corruption! I love it!
Although I was also somewhat confused with the scene in the classroom, but thats minor ^_^ 

Delightful work, devious-Drunna! Looking forward to a new chapter!

Thanks, I was hoping the camera angles would lend it self to the feel that they are running while trying to take in and quickly decipher what was going on, but not have enough time to think it through
