Chapter 3 – Lies
on 01/13/2021
Gearing up for Chapter 3!
Thank you so much for your patience during the hiatus, everyone! My current plan is to post a new page every other week for now, while I get back into the swing of working on the comic. If things go well, I can eventually return to weekly updates. That means that the first page of chapter 3 will be posted on January 27th, so stay tuned!
This one is going to be intense, isn’t it? The name of the chapter, Yunni’s troubled facial expression, the reflection of the polar lights that looks like blood – all of those make me worry if the story keeps its kind, cheerful vibe. I hope the lies would be mostly about the Aurik civilization.
Unrelated: is there a chance that we’ll finally see the Recari?
Unrelated #2: in the “chapters” section of the site the there are links only for the initial pages of the second chapter (1-29). Maybe The links aren’t automatically updated when you add a chapter?
Haha! AstralSounds is definitely going to slowly become more serious as it goes along, but don’t worry too much. There will still be plenty of kindness to be found in this and future chapters, despite occasionally heavier themes.
I get questions about the Recari a lot, and I never know how much to say without spoiling the suspense for people! So I’ll just keep my mouth shut for now 😉
Thank you for reminding me! Updating that page is one of the many things I’ve put off and forgotten because of the craziness of life. I’ll try to get on that right away
I actually found several other issues after posting that: like “random page” always leading to chapter 2 page 60 or “Chapter 2” banner leading to the beginning of the first chapter. But then I found out you had already fixed both of those. I don’t know if you did it because of my post or it was unrelated, whatever is the case I am happy I can contibute something to the site hosting such a good comic. AstralSounds definitely deserves much bigger audience. I know people say it a lot but it’s true.
Yep! You’re the one to thank for the navigation fixes! I hadn’t touched the archive page in forever, so I appreciate the nudge to get that done. As for the Random button, I can’t tell you what was going on there. I don’t think I did anything to mess with that, but I’m glad it seemed to fix itself! If you spot any other problems, please feel free to let me know. The entire website is a huge mess, and I’m going to have someone give it a bit of a reworking soon, so hopefully I can iron all the issues then.
Well, the random page problem is not really fixed, I just thought you get rid of that button (I mean it isn’t really useful to go to a random page of a comic) because I couldn’t find it on mobile. In fact I tried using it again and I found that random page apparently loads from cache: it is always the same page until I clear the cache. That probably happens with comment sections: I didn’t see you last comment when I first entered this page but saw if after updating.
As for why I often can’t see the “Random” button on mobile I’ve got no idea.
Ahh, okay. Well like I said, the site is a mess and needs a reworking. I had actually forgotten that the random page button was a thing and didn’t remove it from the beginning like I should. When I first put set up this website, I had to do it all myself, with zero knowledge of CSS, and limited knowledge of HTML, and just pieced it together from an existing theme. So that explains a lot of the weirdness lol. Now I’ve got a friend with waaay more experience with building websites who I’m going to pay to fix everything up. I just got a quote from him last week and I’m in the process of putting together a list of things I need sorted out.
