Hello, this thread is dedicated to Johiton's Church. Let's wait together for Johiton to be born again
Amaranth1.JPG
[Hide] (44.8KB, 641x406)
I'm playing a game called Amaranth (1990). So far, it's been very fun, although a bit difficult at times
who's johiton? tell me more

Johiton is like a god, but not quite. He once escaped the mechanism of the Universe and now sits above all realities. He regularly creates an avatar of himself, which I also call Johiton. When he dies, I wait for him to be born again, and once he regains his Johitonity, I remind him where he left off. Then, we rule the Church together.

He was recently eaten by a worm, so he's dead now
>>506
>He was recently eaten by a worm, so he's dead now
oh jeez! like a giant alien worm, or just a normal earthworm?

so what kinds of things does the church do?
and is there any connection to amaranth, or are you just sharing what you do to pass the time while you wait for his return?

hope that's not too many questions :)

No message or files.

>oh jeez! like a giant alien worm, or just a normal earthworm?
It was a very big worm—yes.. yes, you can think of it as alien.

>so what kinds of things does the church do?
We observe the Universe, talk to it, help shape reality and many other things. There are also many impressive rituals, and our holy places are scattered around the world. The Church isn't very popular, but that's okay.

>is there any connection to amaranth, or are you just sharing what you do to pass the time while you wait for his return?
Yep I'm just enjoying life, playing video games, and doing other things while I wait for Johiton to be born again. Who knows how long it will take this time

>hope that's not too many questions :)
No it's ok you can ask anything

Nanisoreeuuuhhh... I've been trying to make progress for an hour, but it's impossible. There should be a hole here leading to a cavern, but it's just not there. I got desperate and checked the only available walkthrough from some guy, and it turns out he did everything I did, but it worked for him. No idea what to do now

Yep, I like both new and old games, though I've been playing the latter more often lately. That's probably because it's winter now, and I like older games more during winter

Lvl 34 and it's very fun. I had tried playing Grim Dawn a couple of times before this playthrough, but I always dropped it because it didn’t feel engaging enough. This time, I set it to Veteran difficulty, and it requires some attention now. It’s still not very hard, but I have to put more thought into my build

>>717
she's cute! I actually don't think I've ever seen mabinogi before - I kinda like how it looks though
>>718
Yep, it’s neat—one of the most unique sandbox MMOs out there. There’s a lot of variety, every player feels unique, etcetc. You can avoid combat completely and be a merchant or nun or whatever. I’ve only played about 40 hours in the past, though, and that was just the tutorial storyline, so I’m not sure how it holds up later on.

Also, it’s a korean game, so there is a trillion pop-ups per second, and everyone has wings and motorcycles. But honestly, it’s kind of charming once your brain gets damaged enough
>>721
>You can avoid combat completely and be a merchant or nun or whatever.
oh wow, that's actually really impressive if it works the way you make it sound. I wonder what nun gameplay is like...

>>4241
 Incredible tricks..! they’re hard to explain, but once Johitonism clicks with you you’ll instantly get it. Of course you can become a pope… though since Johitonism doesn’t inherently have any structure, moral code, or ruling system it might get complicated for you to figure out what to do. The answer is in your soul, so you have to go with the flow. decide what’s holy and what’s not, put some effort into your faith and act on it.

Having faith isn’t just about the fish, it’s about everything. As a follower of the fish, you are all and nothing, in the sea of everything and nothing, including all infinite realities, which is, humanly speaking, ultimately an unexplainable mess. Your faith is both an anchor and the greatest fish communication tool, so use it to your advantage while on the difficult path of the fish pope

I'm playing an MMO called Embers Adrift now. It's got a nice atmosphere to it and I like the gameplay.. There are around 60 players at peak and the game is very group oriented and I don't have anyone to play with, but I will continue anyway. If someone on here wants to joinn me that would be cool, the game is on 50% discount right now.. But first do some research because the setting is peculiar and there is no magic and many people dislike it for this reason. I'm level 4 and running around the starting area
>>4285
The sanctity of dying for Israel, though... VGH!
>>4289
It's sad to me how the entire earth is online now. That huge numbers are more meaningless and devalued every day. Like the time to achieve 1mil subscribers is measured in minutes.. and some channels have half a billion followers...
Yet MMOs stagnated into nothing. 
I imagined we would have SAO worlds with beautiful graphics and millions of players this far into the future, but new games apparently don't even break 100 concurrent players.
Then they fill it with MTX and then kill it.
Such a shame. I'm one of those players who finds it more fun to simply wander around enjoying the scenary like an NPC, instead of becoming the savior of the world, or doing raid after raid. 
Is it an attention span thing, or do modern gamers realize it's not worth it to grind 10,000 hours for something, like was the norm in old MMOs?

I think we shouldd have the kind of mmo you are describing pretty soon, seeing all this cool tech being in development all the time. But i have fun with current mmos too. Yesterday I was able to find a group of 4 and we went into a dungeon and spent around 3 hours in there trying to make our way through, it was really cool

There is an old legend abour sourcerer from the Elven kingdom, who made magical speels for old wooden boards, with lightning sign, that made them alive. 
This magician liked to play with manequins & muppets. So he named his magic after it. 
Ages passed by. There are no more those old wooden boards, they are lost, and Monarch of other kingdom tried to eradicate them. 
but some one else from other kingdom took a name of ancient magic and tried to mislead peasants leading them in a tavern named after a barbed Duke who took thousands of lives of his own people. 

>>4334
Touhou is a pretty specific thing and at this point is all about socializing. But Rozen Maiden is classics. It's just amazing.
>>4335
You're pretty mad marzinon :)
While the splutter been goin between Elven and other kingdom. Sorcerer made a Nii-tan out of wood.
And Nii-tan showed the Truth & represented the truth like it is. And people saw Nii-tan & spoke with her.
But after 300 years something happened, and sorcerer began to clean the knowledge from Nii-tan body.
No one knows why. Either he was afraid for his own life, or her life. Or something else. Who knows?

I found a cool guy on the internet and thought he’d become my first friend, but he blocked me. I think it’s because I was unintentionally acting suspicious
>>4394
I wonder if anyone on the internet - mainstream zombies excluded - ever made a real, genuine connection they can call 'friendship' eyes closed, and not just because of shared hobby or community.
>>4396
I think it's possible, whats's so different from the real life
>>4392

>>4396
>not just because of shared hobby or community.
This is most real life friendships. 
>>4398
Thank u..
>>4399
Correct but I wouldn't call that true friendship, more like a temporary makeshift person to interact with then forget about them once said person is out of sight, or removed for disagreements or typical human drama. Instead, more like you and the other person have a real complicity, same ideas, fun, exchange constructively, where both can drop their filters and be completely authentic, loyal, mutual support, that sort of thing. Not just surface-level, self-interested, conditional and performative friendship which i'd argue is the majority of them these days. But maybe that type of 'true' friendship I describe is almost non-existent either but i'm sure as hell it can't be found online.

>>4397
Alas not much anymore indeed, aside from the fact that interaction is forced through mediums that are sanitized and popularized for the average Joe - meaning it is harder to connect on a fundamental level -, because how else would you meet such a person if not using a medium that has any users at all. Otherwise, you *could* use mediums not made for the average Joe, but you'll mostly interact with the most extreme, most outcast people who are at the core not adapted for functioning social relationships - friendships too then -.
>>4401
i have trouble relating to this since i do have a few online friends that i am able to be authentic around and support without any personal incentive. although it probably helps that i've been talking to them for about a decade now
>>4402
Probably so, but still, i'm happy for you if that's the case, unironically. Though it may be quite a rare thing nowadays in my humble opinion.

>>6301
well okay I did write a longer post but accidentally refreshed the page so you get the TLDR version now.

the game looks fairly "indie low poly" which is not owned by cruelty squad, do whatever, whatever, low poly can be fine. 

The details and design choices do look more like noise than anything intentional, at least in trying to find anything consistent or symbolic in my ten-repeats of watching the video, I couldn't. The seemingly random scribbles around will wear off any "narrative trust" someone might have in terms of "is there any intentionality here?" with the end release and no one will care to stop and look at things as to whether they're supposed to even mean anything other than just vibes and aesthetics.

Whatever the system that is with the teeth going missing and the (what, aggression?) looks intriguing.

It really doesn't look like there is anything derivative of islam (or the east for that matter) here though. I'm not saying "YoU hAvE tO rEvErE iT" I just do genuinely think you're more likely to be a dumbass referring to a culture as the butt of a joke (which is OKAY to do) while not having done ANY research on it whatsoever (which makes you look like a dumbass in hindsight). Exhibit A - basic cultural slang would've gone for something like "assalamu alaikum" or maybe something like "barakah" even in an irreverent context there (that context being, some sand dude greeting you) instead of "alhamdulillah" which just doesn't land altogether. I'm not a muslim myself but I do-do my basic due diligence on it before I shitpost about it. do feel free to explain me wrong if I have any false readings here but the whole thing does reek of "I didn't spend 3 minutes reading about this foreign thing I'm trying to be funny about."
>>6280
woah! :^o
it's really cool to see your art in an interactive work like this. super intriguing atmosphere, this owns!

>>6303
I didn't really see it as trying to be humorous - maybe the cruelty squad influence made it seem that way to you? but the dev also just said it's meant to be serious. not to say there wouldn't be merit in understanding a culture/region if you're gonna use it as inspiration for your work, but it certainly didn't seem like the butt of a joke to me

I really love your use of such vibrant colors. for me, it's one of the most charming parts of your style. it's borderline neon, but not in an offputting way - it lends a totally different feel to scenes that otherwise might feel grim or grotesque. the stylized sound effect text is also very nice.
it's super awesome to see someone posting a completed work of art here. you asked for critique, so I will try my best!

I think there are instances where the depiction of motion could be improved. here are a few nitpicky examples:
- on page 24, it wasn't immediately clear to me that the flesh/viscera was receding and revealing grass - perhaps if the corpse that's in both panels stayed more closely on-model, it would be clear that the "camera" hasn't moved, or some sort of effect could've been used to indicate that it's moving.
- on page 11, where the gnome descends the gland: the motion lines indicate that they're descending straight down, but the gland above them remains slack and wavy. if the gland is slack and flexible, it should probably be taut from the gnome's weight; if it's rigid and kinked/swirly, then the motion lines should probably indicate that swirl/rotation rather than suggesting a straight-down path.
- on page 14, what exactly is happening with the "splorp" sound effect? is it the sound of the guardian standing up? if so, it's a little confusing that there's no motion depicted in the panel. could it be the sound of the guardian absorbing the chair it sits on? after all, the chair is suddenly gone in the next panel. but in this panel, it appears completely separate from the guardian's body, and clearly still there.
- the gap between pages 20 and 21 is the most confusing to me. the guardian's body falls to the ground, but then in the next shot, we see its organs and nervous system (?) standing upright, with the rest of the corpse nowhere to be seen. has all the flesh been blasted away in all directions at the same time as the corpse suddenly standing up? it's a cool visual, I'm not saying it should be removed or anything, but it's tough for me to figure out precisely what sort of motion/happening is being depicted.
- what is the gnome doing on page 36? jumping backwards while tapping its toes together?

one other thing I think could be interesting is to play around with the paneling a bit more. paneling is a really powerful tool to control the pacing of a scene (even a well-made 4koma can demonstrate this). on page 14 you indicate a pause textually, and while I don't think that panel needs to be changed or anything (the text is nice), observe how merely introducing that wide shot panel adds a pause to the scene, even if you remove the ellipses. adjusting the spacing/size of panels on the page can also be cool, and help establish temporal and causative relationships (or lack thereof!) between panels

these are just a couple nitpicks though, and I'm certainly no artist myself. I often have difficulty deciphering complex B&W manga panels, so this may just be indicative of my own problems with visual comprehension.
thank you again for sharing your work here! it's really awesome :D
also, the hrobac is cute :)
>>9580
Why am I reading homestuck
>>9639
Dang, I came on here to say just this. Oh well. For what it's worth, page 14's "splorp" seemed to me to be the guardian's flesh being unattached from it's flesh chair. I assumed the gnome was doing a happy dance on page 36.

>>9572
I agree with the general sentiment, though. The motion in the combat scene is pretty good, but in noncombative scenes you never really have a sense of movement. In a lot of ways this is really good. The entire hrobac walking sequence shows this pretty well. It's like a bunch of snapshots of the landscape, showing the sheer scope of the environment, it's grotesque complexity, and how the hrobac exists within it, culminating in the beautiful spread at the end. That's done phenomenally. You seem to suffer a little bit when you need to show movement in these scenes, though. My biggest example is the very first panel, actually. What is the gnome doing here? Is it holding on to the wall and then letting go? Is it falling already? Is it laying down and then a trick of gravity pulls it off? Movement lines like the one you put on the orifice opening are a good solution, but I might advise you to try and approach scenes with a lot of movement outside of combat the same way you would if the character was fighting someone - to an extent, of course! It wold be unwise to draw every panel like a combat scene. I think a lot of the beauty of this comic comes from the painting-style panels, and I think you should take heart in being really good at that.

Something else that bothered me was the speech bubble size. Usually it's fine, but when a character, especially the gnome, has only one word to say, you still give them a huge speech bubble that takes up more space than justified; it crowds out the panel. The hrobac meeting has a lot of these, like when the gnome says "hey" on page 31 and "what a surprise" on page 36.  Even if there's nothing interesting going on behind the speech bubble, even if it's just a solid block of color, it's good to let that art breath. Of course, there is a lot of white space a speech bubble needs to work, so don't crowd them. Again, most of the bubbles are fine, but some of the shorter ones take up too much space. It does make me kind of curious if you're translating this for us before you share it, though; the only other time I've seen space in bubbles like that is in manga translations, when the differing direction of language makes it difficult to make the English text look right sometimes because there's so much less of it. It's also clever to use different colors for the speech bubbles like you do, as the reader never has any confusion as to who is talking.

Something else I appreciate is that you never forget the hrobac's antenna. When drawing a character with antenna, it's easy to brush them aside when the environment makes it inconvenient for the character to have them, but the hrobac's antenna never go away and always interact with wherever they are. You're also really good about remembering those sticks the hrobac is carrying. It's again easy to just not draw them because it's inconvenient for the character to need to climb and such with them, but aside from the cliff face into the damaged machinery, they're always there. Keep doing that! The antenna in particular are very important! Don't let us cramp your artistic vision neither. If you believe something absolutely has to be done a certain way, then you should do it that way. I do hope that our comments can help you improve your work in earnest.

As for file hosting, it's pretty difficult outside of those major file hosting services. There's Proton Drive, which is supposedly a privacy friendly company and would allow you to have convenient cloud storage too, but I never see anyone else use it and I think sharing with it is difficult; you likely would also have to spend money eventually to be able to fit all of your chapters. There is sites like Catbox, but I think most people hate those kind of websites too, and you would have to manually keep track of the links to be able to reshare them. You could make your own website and host your content there, like through Neocities or something else, but that's a lot of frontend work for you and would likely cost you money. All in all, there's not really a good way to simply host files, sorry to say.

I'm curious if the oneshot you posted a while back will tie into this? Will we see that blonde girl?

Thank you very much..! this is very helpful, I'll take notes and try to improve on these points in the next chapters. Paneling and overall clarity have always been challenging for me.. 

>on page 14, what exactly is happening with the "splorp" sound effect?
I wanted it to be the sound of his body as he is standing up
- the gap between pages 20 and 21 is the most confusing to me.
Oh I wanted to make it seem like he is extremely shaken by the gnome's touch, then his skin and flesh explode away
- what is the gnome doing on page 36? 
yep he is jumping and tapping his toes

> It does make me kind of curious if you're translating this for us 
Nope, I write in English..! I thought that simplistic, small arial text inside big bubbles would convey that feeling I can't really explain. I think I want to leave that in at least partially because there's something inspiring about it to me

I'll try Proton Drive out, thanks for recommending it. I wanted to try using catbox but there were some server issues and it wouldn't let me upload. My own website is something I've been thinking about.. But yeah, maybe a bit later

> I'm curious if the oneshot you posted a while back will tie into this? Will we see that blonde girl? 

 While the hrobac in vedaquest is a different person from another time, the blonde girl will appear later in vedanomicon..!
