It's been a while since the last update and I need to tell what's going on with the project. First let me recap what happened so far:
In 2017 I suffered a wrist injury that halted my art for months, then, after being able to draw again, I finished Weekend 2's last pages at the end of that year.
Shortly after, my friend IndustrialGamer offered help for writing the script for the sequel. I had to take it easy on my hands that year.
In 2019 we came up with the "Weekdays" project, in which he wrote 5 short stories and I made quick illustrations to go along with.
It's 2020. After feeling more confident, I was ready for taking the responsability of starting a big project. But then the pandemic started, my anxiety went through the roof, not sure if I was going to die the next day. I was scared, couldn't start it. I had to take medicine for anxiety and faced a sense of dread when thinking of the future. I made the comic "Our Day" with my fiancé to feel a sense of accomplishment and enjoy moments with him by my side.
Then this year, when things were better, I was ready to give comics a go again, was even flirting with the idea of making a brand new comic.
My friend had been changing and refining his Weekend 3 script for a very long time at this point, and I was waiting for the final version.
We had creative differences on that script. We came to a point where hard-adapting the script wouldn't do justice to what I envisioned for Joel and Dan, and also wouldn't make justice for the emotional piece he had written. For the sake of our friendship, I decided to make a new story from scratch, with what I think will most fit the comic.
Lately I've been avoiding questions about Weekend 3 release because I didn't want to add more weight to what was already a big load on us.
So I'll be writing the new story myself just like I did with the other two comics, a simple project that can allow me to enjoy making and releasing each page for you all.
My script is already structured but still needs some work. Then I'll be making the storyboard thumbnails before announcing the official start.
IndustrialGamer agreed to share his script, it's attached to this post if you want to download and read it.
Just a head's up! The story went through a few alterations since the version I received. And the actual Weekend 3 comic will have a WHOLE NEW IDEA for it, so please take this as an alternate universe of the boys ow0
Thank you for your understanding ❤️
