New Site Feature Rundown

by Jon Cairns on March 23, 2016

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)

 

– Jon

Alpha Flag Returns!

by Jon Cairns on March 19, 2016

New Alpha Flag: March 24th, 2016!

⚓︎ ⚓︎ ⚓︎

Our new chapter, Golf, picks up right where Foxtrot left off, running weekly (fingers crossed!) starting Thursday, March 24th. We’ll post the first story page at midnight. We’d recommend doing a reread of the comic to refresh your memory, ’cause we’re gonna be jumping in with both feet here.

As you might have noticed, we’ve be updated the site, too, so there might be a few bugs that need to be ironed out. Let us know if we’ve nixed any features you relied on, or if something is working weirdly.

We’ve both been touched that you guys still deeply care about the comic even though it’s been so long since we were able to update last, so we’re hoping you’ll enjoy what we have in store for you with the coming chapters. Thanks for your investment in Alpha Flag over the years.

The Only Thing I’m Really Afraid of is the Thought of Dying Here Alone and Forgotten pages will appear irregularly, and will be slotted back in chronologically as they’re released. No dates on those yet, apologies!

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email Jon, or get in touch with either of us on Twitter (@JonCairns, @emoxic, @Alpha_Flag).

Mailing List for Alpha Flag Updates

by Jon Cairns on November 21, 2015

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.

Untitled SF: Chapter 3, wstyd

by Jon Cairns on October 17, 2013

Here’s the third chapter of Untitled SF. It’s 23 pages and features a lot of nudity; I wouldn’t read it at work. Click the image to read it:

Jarek Łaniewski is having a bad day. A really bad day, to be honest. After a fist fight at work, he seeks help for his litany of problems from his friend Koharu Nakushima.

Alpha Flag Issue 3 and Untitled SF3 Now Shipping

by Jon Cairns on October 16, 2013

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!
