May 3rd Page Delay
I feel really bad for delaying another page again so soon, it feels like that’s the only thing I ever make posts about anymore, but I’d like another week to work on this page since it’s a kinda really important one. Seriously hoping I can knuckle down this week and get ahead on things again.
Next page will be on May 10th, thanks for reading!
April 12th Page Postponed
My tablet broke so I wont be able to do next week’s page in time! This also means this week’s linework preview will be delayed to next Friday. I’m a bit strapped for cash currently, so if you’d like to help you can use the NINE GATES Patreon to donate. The lowest tier is $1 and gives you an invite to the comic’s discord where I post WIPs and art of my OCs.
March 29th Release Break
Entirely forgot to write a post about this. Since I just released page 90 there will be no page next week, but after that expect pages to release like normal for the next 10 pages. I should do something special for page 99!
December-January Schedule Reminder
Just a quick reminder that I’ll be taking Christmas week off to spend time with family and be nice to myself, so there wont be a page release on the 29th, nor will there be an early page release on the Patreon that day. I’m going to forego my usual tens digit turnover off-week since my schedule was a bit sporadic and slow in the last quarter of this year and I’d like to keep up a good pace. Chapter 5 is 40-something pages long and concludes the first act of the story, and I want to get it out as quickly as I can without hurting myself.
End of Chapter 4 Update
Well here we are, the end of Chapter 4. It took longer than I expected because I made some bad decisions early on in the chapter, but I’ve learned from those mistakes now and hopefully Chapter 5 will be better!
As a quick refresher for what the plan is: I will be taking a month-long hiatus to build back up my backlog and recuperate, so Chapter 5 will start on the 1st of December, with the usual weekly pages. Not only that, occasionally you might get two pages a week: On Monday and Friday, both at 10 AM Eastern Time to make up for lost time. Don’t worry about me getting overworked, the idea is just to do it whenever my backlog reaches a certain overflow so it will PROBABLY be a very rare occurence.
Following the start of Chapter 5, we’ll also be going back to my old model of taking a week off every time we turn over a tens mark in pages. So for instance, I’ll be taking a week off for page 80, and then another at page 90, and so on.
As always, thanks for sticking with the comic. I love it each and every time I get a new comment, even if it’s to tell me that my comic looks like Kill Six Billion Demons (I’m very flattered, but I know).
See you next month,
Soma (Gregoria)
