Commentary
for June 8, 2022:
So the week I made
this page is actually the week I resumed updates. You’d think I’d be
keen to crack on and get as many pages done as I could so as to not
start losing my backlog, but I also needed to do a lot of work for
my Friday D&D campaign that week, too, so it wasn’t until the
weekend that I was really able to get on with this. And while it may
look like a much more ordinary page of Eon’s World Vol. 1,
with the standard zoom and characters and backgrounds arranged like
actors and sets on a stage, I still needed to make all these Badnik
sprites, because I hadn’t made any of them yet. So it was a lot more
work than you might imagine.
Fortunately, Badniks don’t really require as many sprites as other
characters since they typically have a very limited move set. The
Buzzbomber sprites are basically complete, since Buzzbombers only
really have two poses; moving and hovering. Orbot and Cubot were
easy enough to do, since they’re just scaled up versions of the
custom sprites I already made of them, essentially. But the E-1000
was a lot more daunting. The sprites I’d used previously to
represent the E-1000 were Chaos Gamma sprites from Sonic Battle
on the Gameboy Advance, and all I’ve really done here is bigger,
higher res version of that sprite. I did think of taking the
opportunity to make a more SA2 accurate portrayal of the E-1000,
with guns instead of hands, but I think basic soldier Badniks would
be more useful if their guns can convert into hands when they’re out
of combat, so I kept the hands from Chaos Gamma.
Anyway, at this point in the chapter, we’ve reached the part of the
story that was originally told in Eon’s Comic #144-145. As a
reminder, there was a break in the original version of the story.
Eon’s Comic #143 looked in on Eon doing some campaign work for
the progressive candidate in the Meridian election, who was not
originally Sally Acorn, but an OC who belonged to someone I’m no
longer in touch with. It’s an odd exception, but I don’t think I
have ever seriously considered a modern retelling of that story for
Eon’s World Vol. 1, because it just didn’t add all that much
to the overall narrative and it really wasn’t very good. Don’t
worry, though, we’ll be looking in on Sally’s presidential bid
before the actual election in a couple more chapters. |
