Health Issues

Hey all!
As Andrew-David has mentioned, we've had some health troubles recently that have interfered with working on the comic. Recently, my own health shenanigans have decided to kick it up a notch: I've got some long-term health issues that had been quiet for a couple years, and then decided to throw the very worst party. It's caused a lot of chaos and general lack of good things as my health -- physical, emotional, mental, the whole package -- has gone way downhill. Don't worry, both I and the comic will be fine! We just both need a bit of time to sort things out.

I'll be back soon! In the meantime, thank you all so much for being awesome readers!

Short Hiatus

Hello everyone!
You probably noticed that we've been skipping weeks and posting pages late. A lot of things have come up and, unfortunately, it seems like we're going to have to take a very short hiatus to get back on our feet.
We will still post blurb entries, Facebook updates, and tweets, so feel free to head to one of those and start a discussion with us! If you consider yourself an artist, you can also submit fan art or maybe even potential guest pages for us to post so our readers remain entertained during our hiatus!

Until then, have a wonderful week!

RSS Feed Update

Quick Update: I fixed some issues with our RSS feed and I figured I'd also change it to show blurb entries and pages as separate RSS feed items. If you are subscribed, your RSS reader probably just exploded with all the past blurb entries, sorry about that :(

Hello everyone!
Sorry for the messed up schedule! We've all been going through our own things (plus being sick), but hopefully everything will go back to normal next week.

We applied to get Aikonia published in the Comic Chameleon app and we would love it if you could help us convince them that Aikonia is awesome! You can do so by visiting their request page and following the instructions on there!

Also, we will have an article posted on our blog on Wednesday about the results of our little Adsense experiment. So, if you are planning on starting your own webcomic or just recently started one and are looking for information on how Adsense can help you, look forward to reading our post!

Enjoy today's page and have a great week!

Quick notice: Ira still isn't feeling too great, so it looks like this week's page will be posted tomorrow (Tuesday, June 24th) instead! Sorry everyone D:

In the meantime, we've extended the Aikonia poster sale by one day, so you have until tomorrow, noon EST, to pick up a poster for 50% off! If you still don't own one of our awesome posters, now's your chance!

We decided to do a small poster sale to make up for not having a page ready this week! You can get 50% off any poster (not including shipping costs) by using the code SICK50 in the offer field on our Gumroad store.

The offer code can only be used 10 times per poster. Once a poster has been sold 10 times, the code will no longer function on that particular poster. The offer will expire on Monday, June 23rd 2014, at noon EST.

You can visit the offer page for each poster directly by using the links below:
Council Members Poster: http://gum.co/council-poster/sick50
Volume One Cover Poster: http://gum.co/cover-poster/sick50
Adventurers Poster: http://gum.co/adventurers-poster/sick50

Hello everyone!

Sorry for posting the post late this week. We ran into some issues that delayed us, but all is fine now!

In case you haven't noticed, we added a small tooltip above the skyscraper ad to encourage our awesome readers to support us by disabling Adblock and, in just three days, you've already made a huge difference! We'll be posting an article on our blog later this week (probably on Wednesday) that goes into detail and explains how our ads work and what difference you are really making.

Also! Remember that Kickstarter campaign we ran, like, almost three years ago? Yeah. We put together a video of the bloopers that occurred while recording that pitch video and it should be up on our Youtube channel later today!

Until then, enjoy today's page and have a wonderful week!

Hey Aikonians!

Just wanted to share the project I worked on last month for my 1-Game-a-Month Project. It's a Complete Tutorial on making a game in HaxeFlixel. You can click here to read it!

It's meant to show anyone how to get started with the HaxeFlixel framework and make a simple, but complete, cross-platform game using it. So if you're looking to get into game development, or looking for something new to make games in, check out my tutorial and see how it feels!

Also, TONIGHT, for people in and around St Louis, Missouri, I'll be giving a talk (along with my friends from Butterscoth Shenanigans) about Makin' Games Quickly! I'll be talking about my 1-Game-a-Month Project, and some of the things I've learned from it. If you can make it out, come by and say 'hello', it should be a lot of fun! Details can be found here.

And, this coming Friday, I'll be at the Saint Louis Science Center again for their First Friday event - showing off and talking about games. Come by and play some of my games! More details here.

Until next time!

Hello everyone!
It's been a while since I popped in with a word, hasn't it? It's been a busy time over here, but I'm always grateful for all your comments and interesting speculation! Today I'm pretty pleased to have a character I really enjoyed designing back on the page -- you may remember her from page 12 of this chapter. I hope you like seeing her again too, and I hope you enjoy the page.
Have a great week, y'all!

Hello everyone!
Sorry for posting the page so late this week! A lot of things have been happening which lead to us losing track of our schedule :(
In case you missed the announcement last week: We brought back the weekly previews! We'll be posting a new preview on our preview page every Wednesday. You can see the preview either by tweeting from that page or by visiting our Facebook page and going to the "Weekly Preview" tab.
Also! Don't forget that we still have that sale going on! You can get 25% off the first volume of Aikonia by clicking this link. The discount is only available for the first 100 sales and we also reduced shipping prices for the duration of the sale. Now's your chance to get your own copy!
Have a great week! And don't forget to check back on Wednesday for a preview of next week's page :D

Hello everyone!
To those of you who celebrate Easter: I hope you had a great Easter weekend. And to those of you who don't: I hope you enjoyed your time off! :D
And in case you missed the announcement last week: We're doing a short 25% off sale on the first volume of Aikonia! The offer ends on April 30th, 2014 at midnight MST and is only available for the first 100 sales. We also reduced shipping prices so, if the prices were holding you back in the past (and you were super jealous that all your other friends had their own copies), now would be your chance to get a copy of your own!
The comic also includes an exclusive 5-page mini-comic about an event in Solaris and Ariel's past. You will also receive a PDF that contains the original report that Cyril delivered to the council on Page 7 and Katie Tiedrich's original sketches for the entire first chapter of the comic! The PDF will be immediately downloadable after your purchase to hold you over until you receive your physical copy :)

Click here to be directed to the sale!
