Could we donate enough money for Brian to work in '8-Bit' full time?
 

A) I already work on 8BT and my other projects full time. I am funded by the revenue that comes in through rocketninja.com and selling advertisement space on my site.

B) There will never be a full page of 8BT comics every day. I would never get anything else done and the comics would begin to suck. Do you have any idea how hard it is to think of a page worth of good content? Especially when my pages consist of an average of 12 panels compared to most comics' 4 - 6? When seen in that light, you're already getting as much 8BT per week as though it was a daily comic.

It's easy for some people to do a page a day, not so much for other people. Anyway, all congratulations to Mr. Milholland -- I remember he used to talk about how much his day job sucked, so it's good that he can stop that and do something he really loves.

Yeah, with as much material as Brian packs into his comics, increasing the frequency would cause a great decrease in the quality. He's got a LOT more material than the 3-6 panel strips, and he even tends to fit in more material than many of the full-page comics, like Mega-Tokyo.The only way he would be able to increase the frequency is to do more strips like this one, which merely spreads out the material, and doesn't actually make more.

MEanwhile, while we are on the subject of Brian's livelyhood through his projects through Nuklear Power, it's been a long time since we heard anything about Project Video Game. How's that coming along, if it is still going along?

Between setting myself up as a real business, dealing with all the crap that comes with that, doing 8Bt itself, and getting my book ever closer to publication, I simply ran out of time to keep up my part of the bargain when it came to Project: Video Game.

So, did you just drop out of being in charge of it then? Or did it completely die?

And if it died, could life be breathed back into it? I mean, you didn't deleted the work that had already been done, did you? So at least potentially the game could still come out, just a few years later than expected.

At the very least, would it be asking too much to see all the coo' concept art?

The game has been put on hold and everyone who was working on it has moved on to do their own things. I hesitate to use the same material in a new project because much of what was created was made by other people without compensation and I'd feel like a jackass if I used that stuff to make a game I and/or other people would profit from.

The general concept of the game, the story, the general level layout/progression and other things of that nature were my ideas, are well recorded, and will likely be used in another attempt to make a video game down the line.

So, basically, what you're saying is once you've gotten things organaized enough, or at least have enough underlings, to allow you some time to work on it, then Project: Video Game will esentially be restarted with a new crew, right?
