…Wait Pussy Boy wasn’t his real name? He’s still a Mr.PB though.
I really wanted to get more furries in the bg but I was running out of time and couldn’t overcrowd, I had some amazing characters sent in which I’m really looking forward to using in the future, even if you didn’t get used this time there will be more strips. (It’s a weekly webcomic after all)
Reblog and send a ref if you want to be in a future strip.
This K9 Couriers features a bunch of furries from FA & Twitter, whenever I need a background character I want to try and use someone’s fursona.
If you want me to use your fursona just reblog/retweet this and send me a visual reference of your character. (Note: I won’t be using any fan characters, I don’t wanna get sued by Sega)
I won’t always need a background character and it’s not normal to have this many in one strip but I think it’s a pretty fun thing to do, sorry if I didn’t get to use anyone’s character this time but there will be plenty of other opportunities in the future. :D
Also I wanna say hi to my new followers and I really appreciate you guys reading my silly strip.
I couldn’t fit this into three panels so it’s a six panel! :D (this was kinda rushed but finished is better than perfect or something like that, unless it’s both finished and perfect then fuck knows)
Has this ever happened to anyone else? I once went drinking with a guy and offered to buy him food, he said no and then ate my damn fries! I can’t even remember his name but I’ve been bitter about it for years and now I have a webcomic I can release this rage in the form of shitty drawings on the internet.
Please follow my webcomic tumblr, don’t you want to follow the exciting adventures of Robbie the wolf? Don’t you have a soul? Are you the fries with no ketchup?
Rex wears a shirt now! To be honest I rushed this strip a little, I need to give myself more time before the deadline, I guess my timing is as bad as Robbies
hey!! sorry to hijack this post, but there are a bunch of ways you can make videogames without knowing shit about computers!!
for starters, there’s Twine, which is fucking great for making all kinds of interactive experiences (it’s what Crystal Warrior Ke$ha was made in so you KNOW it’s good) at all skill levels (i picked it up and made a game in two minutes a few nights ago)
if you want a bit more involved experience there’s Inform 7 which is a simple language for text-based adventure games that reads like slightly-weird English and also relatively easy to learn
you can do some pretty fucking cool stuff with Unity (my personal engine of choice) but you may need to dig a bit farther to get at the good stuff. there’s lots of really good presets though (i made an entire game just mixing and matching pre-existing templates and adding in my own art, won an award at a game jam for that one) and if you want help the community’s pretty dang friendly from what i’ve seen!
this is just a taste of what’s out there from what i’ve seen, but there’s so many cool resources out there. if anyone wants help getting started, i’m around to give you a leg up on making something in the coolest, most unexplored art medium around!
I’m addin’ to this post because lowering the barrier to entry for making games is super important to me!!!! If y’all have any questions about making games, you’re welcome to come and ask! I made this list a while back with some friends, so it has some of the programs John already mentioned.
2D Editors:
GameMaker : Potential for pure drag-and-drop “programming”. It is recommended to read-up on the program’s functions to make good use of it. Good for prototyping. Uses its own language called Game Maker Language (GML) that is similar to a C language (e.g. C++ or C#). For both Mac and PC; free version available.
Construct2 : Drag and drop level editor that uses an “If-Then” event sheet structure for programming. Good for prototyping and for beginners. For PC; free version available.

Have everyone seen this picture of the Danish cop playing games with a little Syrian refrugee on her way to Sweden?
ok? and?
This child has suffered in a country filled with terror, managed to escape and then walked and traveled her way from one continent to another. This is a child in the mids of terror and hatred. Her people have been kicked and spit at. She is a child who have not been allowed to be a child. She is a victim of a war she can’t controll. And then she arrives at the other side of the world, and someone finally treats her like a child. Who see her and play with her and give her some comic relief in the mids of the most traumatic experince of her life, in a country where no one speaks her language and it is so much colder than what she has known. In the mids of war and terror we forget that kids are still kids, and this police officer on the other side of the world reminds us that they are indeed children. Don’t come here and “and?” me!
