So over the weekend we switched over to the new site. It’s running on more modern code now, and with that comes new features! I wanted to point out a few to you guys:

Aspect Tagging

There’s now a page dedicated to Aspects under the About entry in the menubar. It should be more convenient than constantly having to swap back and forth between the comic and wikipedia, like some of you have done in the past. All of their appearances are now tagged in each page. I mostly built it off of Known facts so far in the comics, and from a few of your (scarily accurate) guesses. Pictures of the aspects as they appear in the comic are still going to be obfuscated (with a mouseover) behind their flags if you don’t want any sort of spoilers in that area.

I’ve also left the comments section open there for you guys to use how you see fit. I also included a few shreds of new/unspoken information for you to chew on. It’s not plot-important stuff, but those of you who love speculation might be interested.

Scheduled Buffer

In the column of widgets to the right of the blog entries and comments under the comics, there’s a new one called Scheduled Buffer. It tells you what content we have scheduled to post, and a date for when it’ll be posted on the site. I know we’ve caused you guys a lot of anxiety with missed updates and slowness in the past, so I wanted to kind of peel back the curtain a little bit an expose ourselves so you can see if we’re on track or not.

Misc

Other smaller things like improved keyboard navigation, a cleaner archive, new descriptive copy throughout, social media links, and new comics on my personal site, too. Just general refreshes all around.

So let me know if anything’s broken or not working for you. Otherwise, enjoy! (And see you on Thursday)

Hey guys, it’s been a while without word from us. We’ve set up a mailing list so, when there is Alpha Flag news for you you’ll be the first to hear about it. The first email you’ll receive from the mailing list should be early in the new year, once I’m back in America.

We’ve received really touching emails from you guys every couple of months asking about the status of Alpha Flag, or telling me how much the comic means to you, and we’re getting to a point in our respective careers where it is becoming viable for us to start it up again. We’re not ready to announce when it’ll be happening yet, but we wanted to make sure those of you who keep checking back won’t miss it when it does.

✨♥️&💋✨ from Jon and Renee.

If you placed an order for either Alpha Flag issue 3, or the third SF minicomic, you should have already gotten an email confirming shipment as of today! From now on, if you order anything from the store, all the products should ship out post-haste. And as such, the preorder discount code has expired.

Also, a special thanks to anyone who made it out to the convention last weekend! It was great seeing y’all!
