dolariFirst five panels of Closetspace are pencilled and inked. Panel six in only partially inked. I seriously doubt I'm going to have these done by tomorrow (So much for the 1 a day Work Ethic) where I'm headed home for Thanksgiving.
What I MIGHT do is do a "partial" update. Upload what I have finished before I leave, post that on Sunday, finish it up and post the finished comic when I get back. What do you, the viewer at home, think?
However, mixed with the drawing and inking, I played one of my fave Sm games, SimEarth. Specifically for the SNES. I have this game and I love being god and creating worlds. PRoblem with the game was, it was just SO slow. You could hear the cogs turning in that old machine, trying to play this game as fast as you can.
Basically, in the Random World mode, you're supposed to create civilizations on your planet in 10 Billion Years (before the sun blows up). I only really ever did one, because by the time you had one civilization going, you were only 3 Billion years in and spent 16 hours waiting. No exaggeration.
However, I got an idea...why not play the ROM in an emulator, then turn off the frameskipping. ?
I got through NINE civilizations (From Stone Age to Exodus to Space) in 10 Billion years. All in the span of five hours. Mind you, each civilization laster all of five or ten minutes, but it rocked to finally just get to the END.
Three of the civilizations were Trichordate. Sentient 3 armed starfish. The other six were Insect civiliations. The Trichordates manaaged to get do two exodusseseseses without any kind of warfare. However, the third rise of civilization didn't have enough nuclear fuel (due to the two civilizations before) and they had a nuclear war that wiped out the whole world. The next rise was Insects, and they evolved REALLY quickly, but had a war each time.. Not nearly as destructive as the trichordates and we had civilizations rise almost "immediately" as the others took off.
However, there's no real happy ending. I guess they never planned anyone to actually survive a civilization and stick with the game all 10 Billion years...you just get a "Oops, the sun blew up, how sad." screen.
Now to go through all the scenarios. I made it all the way to the 199x scenario, but never finished the last one. Now that I can play Super Sim Earth II Turbo Hyperfight at a million miles a second, I think I could finally finish it. :)
Happy Thanksgiving, all. See ya on the Dreamcast.
