He doesn't remember where he came from, and he doesn't (ever) know where he's going.  A clown alone, hunted by men and haunted by his past. His name is Dropsy.    INVENTORY  MAP  Key: CIRCLE = location Everything else is anyone's guess, Dropsy found it that way. MUSIC  http://jtholen.bandcamp.com/album/dropsy-clown-at-dawn Original Thread http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2758907 or here for folks without Archives: http://jaytholen.net/dropsy2.html Games thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3559134 (Let's keep this thread 100% CYoA! Any questions/comments about the Kickstarter or game should go there and there alone.) Note: Given how long it takes to pixel stuff, I'm pacing myself so I don't experience burnout and abandon the thread. This one may be a little slower paced than usual.  I'll also be closing the thread periodically so it doesn't get too long between updates.

Thanks guys! I worked really hard on that music. And it was fun cause I just got my Torn's Peaker in and realllly wanted an excuse to use it. Oh man, sorry about that. Here's the end!           https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFjNiTOMD7k The whole adventure was a series of end-of-life hallucinations by a man dying in the cold. Had I not shifted focus to Dropsy again there would've been more exposition of this + a trippy game.

BiggerJ posted:Seconding. I sent another message a few days ago, no word yet. I'm not supposed to say anything about soliciting or I'll get into trouble. Maybe after the story ends they'll let me. Or maybe I could start a thread in Games? I'm not sure.Anyway, I haven't started on the art for the next panel yet, so keep suggesting stuff!

Sorry about the wait. I've been working on the teaser trailer for the game, which can be seen in the Games Dropsy thread. Let's keep this thread 100% CYoA! Any questions/comments about the Kickstarter or game should go there, and there alone. Also, updates will be more regular now. Rambling Robot posted:Dropsy, we believe in you! Never forget that.   Citizen Insane posted:That trailer for the game was pretty rad, dude. But y'know what it's time for now? That's right. It's time for Dropsy to give that ornery old sheriff a big ol' hug.
