Well, here we are, another part finished at last! It only took 1 3/4 years this time as opposed to the previous 4 year gap. ^_^;;; Glad at least a couple of you enjoyed the daily page deal. Pitch, nice restraint there!
As for the Indy Ploy Vs the Xanatos Speed Chess, the latter would be more appropriate I think. Somewhere or other I know I've explained that I did not have a story in mind at first. People were making all kinds of cheesy yet hilarious sprite comics at MLU back in the day and I was inspired to take a stab at my own, but I came up with the 3D model twist since there weren't any Legends sprites to use. It's obvious in the first two parts that I wasn't putting a whole lot of effort or thought into the comic, it was just a string happenings that I tried to arrange however I thought would allow me to fit in as many of the jokes or humorous Legends situations as possible from the lengthy list I'd come up with during the comic's inception.
Sometime during Part 03's development I began to think more long term, came up with an ending for the comic to gradually move toward, and I upped the visual side of it while I was at it, since the comic had already built a fan base far more enthusiastic than I could have imagined.
I think I'm rambling a bit here, but anyway the story is still on track. Throwing in Sephira for the sake of poking a little fun at her doesn't really change much. Legends 3's announcement, at least at this point, doesn't really change much--except that I would like to conclude the story before the game is finished (get the characters back to the video game world) because it would be so much nicer that way.
So, we'll see how it goes, but I very much hope to get the a more normal release schedule going. If that means taking shortcuts here and there and occasionally sacrificing quality for expedience (like I did with Part 05's Apple Market page), then so be it. If you want to throw in a few Pitch clones, I won't object.

Wow, you're gonna have your work cut out for you if you want to wrap this up by the time Legends 3's released. >.< I mean, well, maybe. We still don't really have any real idea of when that game's actually coming, do we? Ah well. Good luck with that! Part 05 was awesome. Totally worth the wait. (Err... the whole wait, not just the past six days)

Dang, talk about Xanatos speed chess! Now that the stakes are higher, though, it shouldn't be quite as hard to stay on task as before, and we're all rooting for you. It would be totally awesome to see more Main Gate stuff get finished...and one less Legends Station thing for you to worry about once it's done!

OH. MY. GOD. When I first saw Clank "Jishi", I was all "O.O" On the first page of part 2, I actually remember that robot guy (and the hat) from some Megaman game for the SNES, but it was emulated and the gameplay of it didn't suit my tastes... shame. :21: Toilet paper... hah. LOL Sam's club?! Did I see a label marked "pooding"? O.o you don't mean...Whoa ho ho. I was right. a special weapon. Dashe Island... ^.^ I love the editing of MML2's pause screen. Why do I enjoy it when people tamper with pre-existing mechanics? Tuttle... I remember. ;D I am so glad that Clank Jishi pwned Loath. BARRELZILLA! Omg, the look on their faces. <3 "The ship is taking too many hits!" <.< health barz Lol, addressing PS1 rendering glitches "mountainous Kattelox" wow. #20 got schooled. :11: Always need the appropriate music for the first battle. Don't forget! You don't need an ID card to get in there!...I think I caught up with reality. Saphira joined in! A green- nvm. O.o It just gets more irrelevant and unlikely. I love it. Enter Geetz!And yeah. All of Alternate Trigger (up to page 27) in one sitting... I just read 7 years worth of work, and it's just amazing, beautiful, and so worth the work. Personally, I've had a "hands on" taste of the time it takes to make comic/video art vs how long the art itself actually is. I'm so subscribed to this. ;D

Simply amazing, i love the way you made the models, and seeing Sephira on this one was unexpected, very funny.
Are you still using Corel Dream 3d?
Also i would love if you put some more models on the gallery, including Megaman, Roll, the Bonnes, Geetz and Sephira, i really like the way the ones on the gallery look, like some kind of collectible figure.

I very much enjoyed Part 05, and in all honestly, the wait didn't feel very long. Maybe because the wait between 03-04 was twice as long. The simultaneous boss battles were pretty cool, and I got to think how that might actually work in the real game... It sounds hectic and crazy and awesome. I gotta say fab, everything looks fantastic. Sephira's model, especially for a short cameo, looks amazing.

I always enjoy AT but I especially loved the Legends 1 reference "Back for more?" *Mega gets weapon then blows :26: to :11:(scrap)* Hilariously epic!

Thank you for all the comments everyone! My neglect of this thread since the 6th is in no way due to lack of appreciation for everyone's feedback. @pitch You may be right, but that Unity rocket is still at 1% complete so I'm not sweating just yet. XD Glad it was worth the wait for you. Dashe No doubt, to have one area of TMG "finished" would be sweet beyond words. Mikéy It's been a while since I've heard the Clank reference. I don't think they look very similar at all, myself. *shrugs* Anyway it's good to hear new laughs on old stuff from someone just discovering the comic. Sybillian I do keep meaning to get around to expanding the gallery. The models are far from perfect but I think they're still pretty cool and you don't always get a good look at them in the comic itself. And yeah, I'm still using Dream 3D for AT. Even though I've become a blender user in recent years, I don't have the time to remake all those AT models in a new program. Incidentally though, that single shot of The Main Gate in Part 05 was a Blender model. nerdmccloud Thank you kindly! Good to know some people actually use the wallpapers as well. *is doing so himself at the moment, actually* Musashi Good, good, good. Glad to hear it in regards to everything you said. XD Throwing in Sephira's model took longer than anticipated and I was beginning to regret it while I was still working on it but people seemed to enjoy seeing her in there and she did turn out looking all right so I guess it was worth the effort. Dragge It's interesting what different people will pinpoint to comment on. I quite enjoy finding places to slip in actual game quotes. Sybillian Why thank you, again!

@pitch You may be right, but that Unity rocket is still at 1% complete so I'm not sweating just yet. XD Glad it was worth the wait for you. Hah. My guess is that either they've forgotten they had that rocket meter all together, or that it will be receiving a big boost in the next week or two. (It's not just Unity, btw; the Japanese devroom reports the same amount *) I don't know whether to hope that I'm right or wrong on that one: if I'm wrong you still have loads of time, and we have lots more events to look forward to, but if I'm right, Legends 3 will be coming that much sooner... XD Either way, good luck getting it done before the rocket hits 100% completion! ∗ sacrifices a Pitch clone ∗ EDIT: Oh hey, looks like you'll probably have quite a bit of time after all.

Hidden Links in AT?!Only in chapter 4 & 5, a number of panels link to unaltered higher-res renders for those particular scenes, called 'Jishi's Photo Album'. Interesting!

Lot of nice bonus material here, fAB. A few of these are different angles...Alternate Alternate Trigger? :06:

Hey, anybody else notice the two new AT pages that have been up for the past five days? You might want to work on those announcing skills, fAB. You're lucky anyone even found them at all. TURN UP THE VOLUME!!!! They're too good to show up this quietly, you know? (Unless you never meant for anyone to go looking around the Main Gate...)

I'll say. Maybe he doesn't consider 2 pages to be a big deal and wanted everybody to know when the whole chapter was finished? Or perhaps the hustle & bustle of the riverboat event made him forget? Only he knows.

On the contrary, who's going to bother visiting The Main Gate if I mirror all the good updates here? Well, there's that and the fact that I didn't exactly feel like shouting out about having only managed 2 pages after 2 years... :12: Rest assured, had the rest of the Part come out without anyone having noticed I'd surely have mentioned it. Anyhow, thanks for the kind words. Sometimes it seems like you're the only one who really cares if it keeps going, which I guess isn't surprising given that 98% of the original readership has long since disappeared from the community.
