Three and a half years ago we started Generation Minus One, and every Monday since then we’ve posted a comic. We’ve had lots of fun coming up with these one-off comics, videogaming gags and the occasional short string of vaguely plot-oriented strips, and it’s taught us a lot about all aspects of making comics, and given us an opportunity to hone our skills. But for the past few months it’s become increasingly obvious to us that we need to take a step back and reassess what we want to achieve with Generation Minus One. The one-offs haven’t been exciting us the same way they used to, and the necessary retirement of the Teph & Mana characters was the final nail in the coffin of the embryonic ‘plot’ we’d been working towards since the beginning. At the same time, we started coming up with new comic ideas that we wanted to work on, ideas which were already more developed in terms of plot and character, ideas with more potential than just being another weekly videogame gag strip on the internet.
So we’ve decided to take a short sabbatical for November and December to focus exclusively on these new ideas, and ensure that when we return we have something that excites us, something which inspires us to work hard and become better artists and writers and all the other skillsets which go into making comics. Thank you to everyone who’s stuck with us through the past three and a half years, and when you see what we have planned, I hope you’ll be as excited as we are!
