There was a 21 month gap between pages 50 and 51, yet the comic has more than doubled in length since then. So the comic is far from being dead; gaps have happened before, and they may happen again. If that's unacceptable to you, I understand, but that's the way things are right now. The updates will come when they come. I'm sorry that I can't be any more specific than that.

I'm very excited about the content of the new chapter, and once I get past the roadblock of the set design, I think things will move quickly.

A bit of a spam-like comment, especially as a first post, but I do must say: EXCELLENT! I have been waiting the whole while until an update :D

When if at all is Outsider going to update? Or are you just going to dump the story and call it quits? You can't leave us hanging for two goddamn years. Especially not twice.

World of Warcraft just released a new expansion, Warlords of Draenor. This may or may not be related to any delay in the comic.

Have you ever considered releasing it in a light novel format? Mostly text with occasional illustrated pages.

The current plan is to resume updates in January.

I'm not going to quit, and I'm not going to change the format of the comic before the end of chapter 2. When I get to the end of chapter 2, IF there are still problems with keeping a decent schedule, then I will consider changing the format.

I will look into options like Patreon after updates have resumed.

I really hope so, Arioch. This comic to date has a compelling story and great artwork. The fact that so many of us have hung on through the delays is a testament to our faith in you and our love for the story. If there is indeed any way we (or the world at large) can contribute to give you more resources (i.e., money and time) to work this to an end, we'll do it. You deserve to get this story out, and we would love to deserve to read it all.

At this point, I'd rather just read the story.

I'd settle for a light novel approach, with an illustration here, and there for important scenes. Like when Beryl is naked.

I'm hurting for my Crest/Banner of the Stars material man!

Why stop at just one?

Its your own imagination/dreamworld, don't be afraid to dream a little bigger.......... too much? yeah, that was too much ;)

PS: As much as I love the full graphics etc; a light novel approach would also be acceptable. This story deserves to have beautiful and inspiring art to accompany it. But I'm a patient reader, I can wait however long it takes for the story to unfold.

Actually.. I think Tempo is a real cutie! I like the cool, calmly intelligent women... smart chicks are hot! Doesn't hurt that she's ...like all Loroi smoking hot to begin with! :)

tempo just might grant you this request and in person, assuming of course that she plucks out your eyeballs so she can use them as drink material and removes all cameras before it happens.
